My new companion...Hermana Soto
Hola todos!
For some reason I have a pic with all my
companions in the car wash!
tradition lives on...
Our new room at the Gabler's.
Big beds! I've been on tiny bunk beds
my whole mission, so we're livin large!
Hola todos! Wow this week has been crazy! Okay so lets start with last week... It was really hard to say goodbye to Neilee and the Mcdonalds and all the members and investigators there. I had a hard time leaving. Boulder has really become a home for me and I felt so weird driving away from it. I am in the Longmont library and a guy who smells like smoke just sat down next to me and it made me miss Boulder. :( But aside from feeling sad I got everything packed up okay and I headed to transfers. When Hermana Soto and I got to Longmont I was sad to find out that we no longer live with Liz and Dave. :( But we live with the Gablers now. They are empty nesters as well and they are awesome! I actually think living with them will be good because Sister Gabler likes to talk and she never has any one to talk with so lots of nights when we get home she makes us tea (she has all these assortments of herbal tea...fancy people) and we talk. haha I think she really needs it. Most of her kids are in-active and she is struggling right now so I think we have been able to be there for her and give her comfort. She also is an AMAZING cook. Which is dangerous because she always makes (in Rachel's words) Carby bread bombs and just leaves them in the kitchen for us. Plus Hermana Sotos special diet wastnt helping so she can eat pretty much anything as of last week...I guess I will have to be self motivated to loose weight. hahah Anyway the Gablers are awesome. My heart is broken becasue I guess just in the last month or so Bertina has not been coming to church and canceling all her appointments with the sisters. We stopped by but she wasnt home so hopefully we can meet with her soon. Her mom in mexico is having extreme health issures and also one of the members of the spanish group said that she thinks Larry (Bertinas boyfriend) dosnt want to get married. So I think it might be one of those things that is holding her back lately. I hope and pray we can figure out how to help her. I fasted for her yesterday. Hermana Soto has randomly found tons of family here...like cousins of her dad I guess. So we are teaching three families through those connections. Its pretty awesome. OH, miracle you guys! Eddie and Valeria are less actives and when I visited them right before I left in November they both voiced to me that they have lost their testimonies of the Book of Mormon and will not come back to church. Well yesterday I saw them at church! So we visited them and the sisters have been diligently visiting them and they have completely changed. They both bore their testimonies on the Book of Mormon. Eddie even told an experience about how he couldnt find a job and when he started reading and praying and going to church the Lord provided a work opportunity for him. It blows me away how the Atonement can truly change hearts. They are totally different people than when I left. Amazing! Oh before I forget HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON SATURDAY MAGS! I will talk to you the next day haha but just wanted to let you know that you are amazing and I love you so much! Thank you for your example....also stop kissing boys. AND...HAPPY MOTHERS ON SUNDAY MOM. I am so excited to talk to you. Thanks for being my best friend. I Love you! OH MY GOSH! I just got an email from Hermana Stratford and Danika came to church and loved it and has a baptism date for May 31! I am so happy! :):):) Guys seriously missionary work has given me more joy than I have ever experienced! I am so excited for her! Well I have like a million other things to say but there is no time. Have a great week everyone and fam...I will talk to you on sunday! LES QUIERO Hermana England
