Juan's Confirmation

Monday, September 8, 2014

JUAN CAME TO CHURCH! Haha, it really turned into an awesome week. We passed by his house one day and it was vacant, but we felt prompted to go back later. We found the mom and her boyfriend reading the BOM together and we had an awesome lesson. Then, chaos happened! The mom and dad got back together, on the condition that she stop drinking, and we had to be at their house, with a member, before 6:30 (aka my wake up time), but they all made it to church somehow! All of them! Even the ex-boyfriend! And he is going to get baptized! It all turned out so crazy, but so good and just how God wanted! They are all living the law of chastity now, and family is back together for the time being, and they are all planning a baptism, and they're still friends (kind of), and they are all excited to come to church next Sunday!

Oh! There is the cutest girl that is the best example to me. She is the daughter of an active, cute family. She is 6. After sacrament meeting, she walked right over to Juan and his brothers and sister and asked them all how old they were, then took them by the hands and said.... "Great, I'll take you to class!"

The only other big topic this week is that I flew the kite Grandma sent for Christmas finally...on the roof of our apartment with Hermana Walker! It worked so well! We got it to go all the way out!

I love getting all the updates, happy or sad, it just gives me more things and people to pray for. 
Anyway, tell Kin happy birthday! You guys rock. Love you! See ya next week

P.S. About the debit card... WHEW! What Luck! Today on a whim I decided to bring my card! 1. Because Grandma Carrie told me she put in money to go to McDonalds...(there isn't one, but there is better food) and 2. because I was thinking about replacing my shoes...mine are getting sad again. Anyway, it says that it doesn't expire until next year, so I should be fine. Thanks for taking care of me though! I don't know if this will interest you, but they do a traditional thing with the fabric, like the tie I sent dad. Anyway, I found two little girl dresses made from the traditional fabric and designs...and I   thought about those cute plaid skirts and sweaters that Dad had from the lady in his mission...and I couldn't resist! They were just too cute! And if I don't ever have little girls...I don't know what I´ll do with them, but, oh well!
