HOLA de Cali!!!
Tengo ganas de estar en Guatemala con ustedes hoy, pero ustedes solo estan viendo ruinas, yo estoy viendo cambios de corazones, entonces, les gano ;) jaja!!
So real quick:
-I love the schedule, Mom, it is perfect!! :) I will take the Folk Dance class this sememster, then next time I'll take the Latin one when I have a partner ;)
-I got the package and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I wear the necklace almost every day!!! It is my favorite thing!! Thank you so much <3
-those t-shirts are from the MTC in Provo, they make them for individual missions, but I didn't go to Provo, so I don't have one :/
-Hna Perdomo is my same size, so what you'd get for me, will work for her, except in length cuz she's short, haha! :) (thank you so much again by the way :) )
-I am STILL the driver. I have come to terms with it. I don't necessarily like driving, but I don't hate or resent it anymore :) Now it's just whatever :)
-I don't think there's valley fever here...I'm not sure about that...the wind blows more here than in Bakersfield, but when the wind blows here people don't run inside and put on face masks like they do in Bakersfield, so I assume we're safe here :)
-Joshua branch is an all Spanish branch :) we eat at member's houses every single day! The members want to feed us so much that there aren't enough days in the week for them all!! It's a smaller branch, but growing :)
-Hna Perdomo is from Puerto Cortes, on the north part right by the coast and Guatemala! You weren't too far away, maybe 3 hours ish from where she grew up!!
-we have a pool of investigators building up now :) We were able to find the last 2 weeks :) There are a lot more white and black people than hispanics, but they are here!!
-It has been getting progressively hotter, it's been in the 80s which is too hot for Hna Martineau!
So this week was awesome!!! We got a referral from a member from the English ward in North Edwards (45 mins away from our area) for her friend Molly. Neither of them speak Spanish. Why did we get referred to her? Because both of them live on the Edwards Air Force Base. Their husbands are in the Air Force and are deployed for a year, so they are alone in their houses on base. So the Elders that are in that area can't go in their houses without a man, and we are the closest sisters, so we got to go teach her!! We got special passes to go on base to visit and had dinner with the member and her friend. Then we taught her and she accepted to learn more!! We are going to see her later this week again :) I am super excited!! It was such a fun experience!!
Then on Friday-Saturday we got to take the big 1.5 hour drive up to ARVIN!!!! We got to go to exchanges there again!!!! It was SO FUN!!! I was with Hna Blau and we got to teach that same investigator that I got to teach last exchange, the one that Hna White and I found and taught! His name is Refugio, and he is finally getting baptized this weekend!!! What a blessing to have been a part, however small, of his conversion!! Also I got to see the Lopez family and eat dinner with them!! They were all so surprised to see me!!! I love them so much!!!! I love and miss the people from Arvin, and from all my past areas, but I am excited to get to love the people here even more :)
Then yesterday we were asked to give the missionary moment at an 8 year old's baptism, so we taught the restoration, then we ate dinner with the whole branch at the member's house!! It was so fun!!!
(P.S. Mom, did you get some pictures from someone named Rosario on facebook? She is a member here and she sent you some pics :) )
But that was my week!! It was pretty fun!!! I have really been growing my desire to understand my role in Heavenly Father's plan which has been helping me have been self-esteem. These last 2 weeks have been two of the happiest on my whole mission :) I am so grateful for Heavenly Father and for the help He always gives me <3
I love and thank you all for everything that you do for me <3
Love siempre,
Hermana Martineau :)
