Hermana Naomi Perkins in Horse Country!

Hola Chicas y chicos!!! Como les parece esta primavera? Es bien? Mal? Dejame saber! Todos son miembros We've been teaching this one really cool lady named Elena! We found her door knocking and she just happened to be looking for a Christian church that fits her! (So she ate down that restoration lesson).  Anyways, our second lesson in, her tía joins us, and when we pulled out our Books of Mormon, she basically said, "Hold up! I know that book!" And we were like, "Oh? How?" And she was like, "I was baptized into this church 30 years ago in Mexico." At first, we were worried that she hated the church now or something, but we quickly realized that she just lost touch with the church after moving to the states.  Then on Sunday, Elena pulled up with her whole family! Including her husband (who we thought was hard-core baptist) and her 13 year old daughter!!! And the best part? One of our members in the branch is her friend from work! They were chatting it u...

Hi What are you guys grateful for today? I used to be grateful for the warm spring sun... until it turned me into a tomato :( This week was actually pretty good though. It started out slow, because all our activities got canceled while they were renovating the church, but it got better! Somos reales We got a new friend this week! His name is Omar and he was a referral from Facebook. When we first contacted him, he thought we weren't real. Even after we started having call lessons with him, he was like, "And you guys like... actually exist?"

Holaaaaaaa Guess what? Something really cool happened this week! It was: Fecha bautismal!!! We got a friend on bap-date! Her name's Kaleesy and she is a member of a family that's been inactive for YEARS. But it's been really awesome seeing how preparing for her baptism has completely reactivated this family! Yesterday was the first day that the ENTIRE Salas family was at church in 3 years! So many people were excited to see them! And the oldest son got ordained a priest so he can baptize his sister! Drogado (high) In other less spiritual yet somewhat entertaining news, we had a lesson with someone who was SUPER HIGH. We video-called him, and it was already clear that he was puffing smoke of somekind. Then he shamelessly held up this thing (I dunno drug words) and said it was a vape. Hermana Schaffer whispered over in English, "That's not a vape, that's weed." Anyways, we told him to put it away. Then I started teaching plan of Salvation, and while I was ex...
