In the mission they have a weird vocabulary that everyone always uses haha and they say that when you are with someone for their last transfer you "kill" them and then they say that if your training a new missionary then you are their mom/dad hahah so this morning sister avila "died" and headed back home to Utah it was super weird to see her go but I am excited for her and the future she has ahead. this morning I also found out that I'm going to be training and that I will pick up my "daughter" tomorrow at the transfer meeting so theres a little bit of mission lingo for you. I am excited for this next transfer were going to see lots of miracles!!!
this week has been super awesome I feel like things kind of turned around for us and we were about to find some really solid new investigators. haha a couple funny stories
#1- we teach english classes every tuesday night for free so we have all of these cute people that don't know really any english come and last week for the class we did this activity where we had one person go up in front of the class and they had to put the phone on speaker and then we would call a business or store or something and they would have to ask them what time they opened and closed hahaha it was so funny because they were so nervous i wanted to start having them call my family and to see what would happen hahaha but don't worry i know that thats against the rules hahah maybe ill give them your guys phone numbers and they can call to practice for homework.
#2- i was driving down this street to go visit a less active member and we passed this man and i noticed him walking but i just kept driving and then we got to the house and i just felt really strongly that i should've stopped and talked to the guy walking so i ran and put an invitation to general conference on this members door and then got back into the car to drive back to where i saw the man and i was just hoping he would still be there so we hurried and stopped and got out and i locked the door to the car and started trying to talk to him and it turns out he's from HONG KONG and speaks like two words of spanish and no english so we weren't able to communicate super well so he starts walking away and then i remembered that we had a chinese restoration phamplet in our car so i go back to the car open the trunk and grab the phamplet and accidentally locked the keys in the trunk hahaha so sister avila starts freaking out and i just start sprinting down the street after the Asian man to give him the phamplet so i get to him give it to him and she was probably wondering why in the world i was chasing him but we start walking back to the car and sister avila is like "why did you lock the keys in the car were stranded..." then we get to the car try the door and BAM it was unlocked. MIRACLE hahaha and who knows maybe that chinese man will read the phamplet and find the missionaries sometime in his future!
hahah kind of random stories but i have seen so many miracles this week and tender mercies as the Lord has helped us reach our goals! things are looking up for the area and i am super excited to get my new comp tomorrow. love you all!!!
have a good week and enjoy general conference! make sure that you prayerfully listen and take notes because in D&C it says "wether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants it is the same" so this is our chance to hear what God wants us to hear through His prophet and apostles!
