So much to say, so little time....
BUT-Sweet
things have happened this week! It has been a good week here in
Oceanside. We had some great things happen and I just get excited to be
able to play a part in the work of the Lord! One recent convert family
in the ward has a son, Juan, that is 15 that didn't want to get baptized
when his family was baptized. He has since taken the discussions but
didn't ever want to live the Law of Chastity. BUT, his family is getting
ready to go to the temple to be sealed in a couple of months and he
really wants to be apart of that. So, we've started teaching him this
last week and he is willing to start living the law of chastity, and
agreed to set a baptisimal date and everything. He is great, and he is
ready! His baptism is set for the 13th of Oct and we are so excited!
Miracle:)
Christian
is doing so great! He is so ready to be baptized...but his dang job is
the only thing that is impedeing him from doing it! He is looking for a
new job, but hasn't found one, and doesn't want to quit his old one
until he has something secured. Which is understandable...but if he
doesn't come to church then he can't be baptized! Ahh, oh man. He is so
ready and keeps ALL of his commitments (except church), we just need a
miracle to happen with his job! So we are praying hard for that to
happen... and it will...just gotta keep doing all we can to help move
thigns along!
K
-- imagine this. SO Hna K (who btw has the rest of this transfer left
and then 1 more transfer before she goes home...and she is from
indiana. Someone asked me that last week and I forgot to tell them) and
I are driving along to get to our dinner appt with a family and we see
this only astro van sitting in the middle of the road, broken down with
the hazards on. This guy is almost completely blocking traffic on a VERY
busy road during rush hour. Poor guy was sweating bullets. The light
turns green and we go along on our merry way...but we both felt REALLY
guilty that we didn't stop to help him. So, we turn around and go back,
and he's still sitting there, sweating bullets. So Mind you--Hna K and
I weere looking pretty good that day, if I do say so myslef... but
there we are- two missionaries in our nice skirts and outfits pushing
this HUGE astro van out of the middle of the road with a million cars
passing us. I'm sure it was quite the sight to see...I was giggling
quite hard myself:) Then to top it off, once we get him around the
corner out of the way, this old man beach bum comes up on his bycicle
and starts shouting " We gotts keep these ladies safe!! I'm dropping
everything to come help ya right now! We gotta keep these lovely ladies
safe!" It was Hilarious! So so dang funny. People here are f unny:)
But, at least they try and keep the ladies safe;) Anyways, it was a fun
adventure! Not ONE person out of all the million cars that passed
him stopped to help him, but I'm glad we could:)
We
also got hit by a car in the parking lot yesterday. HArdly any damage,
just some paint scuffs, but we were parked in the back of a grocery
store parking lot waiting to meet the Zone leaders to exchange some
papers. Hna K looks in the rear view mirror and says, "This guy's gonna
hit us!" then he really did hit us, and she is just sitting there
repeating, "I can't believe, he hit us...and he's driving away. HE's
driving away!" On the other hand, my first reaction is to look at the
car, get the model and lisecnce plate number...to which I immediately
did! 6HEU639, and I just kept repeating it to myslef while she
is sitting there saying "He hit us!" It was quite hilrious just to see
the different way s we both reacted to the same situation:) Just made
me giggle!
Anyways,
