Week 17 - Sonoma Valley

Hola todos! Como estado? Espero que bien!

This week has been pretty awesome! Monday was a member named Hermana Peñas birthday so we celebrated! It was a huge party with a large amount of fantastic food and some fun music! I tried cow head, which isn't actually bad at all and there was flan for days so it was pretty much a fantastic day.

Tuesday was exchanges with Hermana Lewis and she is just awesome! We had a fun time together! And when we exchanged back we got lunch from Chick Fil A which you wouldn't think would be a delicacy but definitely is one here in California so that was a glorious time.

I've also come to find that I have SO much more to go with learning Spanish and actually speaking. But also now it's hard to speak in English... So basically I just can't speak either language I need to communicate in so that's nice. Prayers for now are almost impossible to say in English though since I'm so used to Spanish so that could be a plus.

Star Wars Album

Friday we did service and helped a women who is moving pack some stuff up! It was pretty fun, she showed us stuff from her mission in Argentina. And guess what she gave me? I told her I would buy it but she was like take it. I got a record, like an old time record that is one of the originals of the Star Wars soundtrack!  It's awesome!!! 

Right now we have two investigators that are pretty solid. A mom and her son, their names are Anthony and Blanca. They are pretty cool, Anthony has been coming to church every week but Blanca works so that's hard, but they seem to be liking things right now. We are going to jump into hard core teaching with them soon. Besides that we don't really have anyone right now. We spend a lot of time trying to decide who is actually interested and who was just being nice to us. It's a fun process that is sometimes frustrating but hey that's how we find those that the Lord has prepared!! Involves a lot of tracting but it's all in the Lords time! So we will find who we need to when we need to!

We saw Bambi again this week and she is one of my favorite humans. This week she gave my companion and I each an envelope full of her favorite recipes. She is the best and cutest and always asks us about our investigators. I can't remember if I already said it but also brings flowers for the church building every week. I love her SO much. She has had a crazy life and teaches me so much each week without knowing it. Her lesson this week was to do without being asked.

Oakland Temple

Also today I got the amazing opportunity to go through the Oakland temple! It was so great!! The temple was huge and gorgeous and I missed being in the temple it was a really nice time, the temple is one of the greatest places. So peaceful and amazing and truly the Lords house. I'm so glad that we got to go, it was the best!!

Yea so it's been a good week!! I hope you all are doing well!! Mother's Day is coming up quick!! Happy happy Mother's Day to everyone!!! Love you Oaall!!

Te quiero,

Hermana Foster
