Querido todos
Lo siento for the late email! We went to the temple this week, today
so our pday is on Friday instead of Monday! We went to the Sacramento temple
and it was so amazing and great!! The temple is for sure one of my favorite
places to be.
Wow this week has been crazy. Tuesday we were at the mission office all
day as we waited for the new missionaries to come in! We actually went a
visited a member in Santa Rosa who was super nice and took us to lunch! Then we
were trained on how to train and then the training began.
My companion is Hermana Dorny!! She is super super great. Very
willing to do things and her Spanish is super good for just coming out of the MTC.
So very exciting it's been really great getting to know her! On Wednesday our
area book still hadn't transferred over on our iPads so it was a strange day.
We did meet with the branch president though and found out about the branch and
things that had been going on, so that was nice and gave us more of a feel for
the area. That night we had dinner and it was purely Mexican food and it was
the most fantastic thing ever.
So overall a strange day because we have no idea where anything is
or who anyone is. But luckily that night the area book had switched over and we
were able to get a sorta schedule and can look up people and addresses. It was
a very good couple days but a very stressful couple of days.
I dropped my blanket off with Bambi because it has some holes in it and she said that she would fix them! That we ran out of time to go get it so I had to go a night without my blanket. It was the strangest thing ever and I never want to do it again so there's that! (I couldn’t resist even though Sam will not be happy that I decided to share from her family letter to everyone in the world that she carries around her baby blanket, she is almost 20!)
I love Hermana Dorny so much, it's very cool to be able to share
some things I've learned to try and help someone else! But seriously Hermana Dorny
is so so amazing and has greenie fire like no other and I think is teaching me
more than I am teaching her!
It's been a crazy week trying to meet everyone and get to know the
town but it has been fun, stressful, but fun! The people are very very nice and
it's definitely a bigger place than Sonoma so that's fantastic, there is even a
target. It is quite a bit hotter here but hey Texas heat has it beat so I will
count my blessings! There is a lot of less active work to do in this area.
Hermana Dorny and I are excited to try and work with them and help them get
back to church. The people we have meet
so far have been great so great and fun! There are so many people that just
need that push to come back and that's very evident here.
It's so important to never give up on anyone because all who have
been baptized have felt the sprit at some point so we have to help them feel
that again! And they are all so nice and very willing to meet with us. So a bit
stressful but really fun to be able to just go through all the names we have in
area book. The ward and people here are super super awesome and I already love
them all so much!
I realized this week how accustomed I've become to Mexican food, we
had mole this week and it was quite strange for Herman Dorny but it was very
normal for me. :)
Interesting side note we eat with the same member every Thursday night and we call him
happy hot dog, he calls himself this as well. He loves hot dogs I guess we eat them
every week so yea and he has a weiner dog so even better.
We do have an investigator named Laura who just had a baby who is super
awesome and has a baptismal date for this upcoming Saturday! It's so exciting
we talked to her last night and she said that she is all a go for it. We have
family home evening with her family each Monday and they are so so fun and
cute! So we are very excited for her baptism Saturday!
The temple today was absolutely amazing and gorgeous!! The temple could
be my favorite place! Hope you all had a good week!! Love you!
Con amor
Hermana Foster
Good byes are hard thanks for being so great Sonoma!!!!!
