Hola Familia!
Casa Linda is CHUCK FULL of Hispanics! Mercy! It is fantastic. We
have been knocking a ton this week in an apartment complex called El
Capitan. (yo no soy madinero, soy capitan) jaja. OK. So you are probably
going to want my address. We live in super nice apartments. I do not
miss any of those cucarachas, that's for sure! We even have a washer and
dryer in our apartment. Ahhh, the simple luxuries of missionary life!
We now go to the Lake Highlands Building for church. It's super
bien! Yesturday in church President and Sister Durrant came and spoke.
The ward that I am now serving in has a grand total of 7 MISSIONARIES!
That is sooo many! But anyway, so every week Hermana Boyd plays the
piano for sacrament meeting, and I am now in charge of leading the music
*Durrante* la reunion sacramental. I love President Durrant. Can I just
tell you that? He is so funny. I told him yesturday to start working on
a new song, but perhaps have this one be in Spanish. Anyway-- yesturday
he talked about how if they don't remember anything else about his
talk, he wanted every member of the ward to remember his name. Devin
Durrant. And if you add an E to the end of his name you have Durrante
which in spanish means: During. He was like. I want you all to share the
gospel..... Durrante la manana, durrante la tarde, durrante la noche,
etc. So now every time I think of President Durrant, a few things come
to mind:
- Songs: I'm in Heaven, I'm in Heven, In the Texas Dallas Mission I'm in Heaven OR I feel so blessed, I feel so blessed, I feel so blessed because I have the best. I have the best, I have the best, I have the best and soooooo I feel so blessed.
- Napolitan ice cream
- Share the gospel DURRANTE all times. Or in the morning when you're putting on your DEODORANT..... remember to share the gospel that day. :)
- Whenever he tells us how much he loves us, he makes us stand up, and stretch our our arms as wide as we can. Remember how President is like 6'7"? Pretty sure he has more love to give than all of us!
So the trio has been interesting, that is for sure. Hermana Reina
is finishing up her mission in about 3 more weeks. She has to go home 2
weeks before the transfer which is why we are in a trio....but then the
other day she was like, "I think I might extend my mission." Eeeejole.
But I am learing lots of Spanish from this Nativa from Honduras. She was
actually just born there and then is from Houston. Then there is
Hermana Boyd who is super awesome! She is from Arcadia, California, like
30 minutes from LA. I feel like a chicken again with its head cut off.
We have been running running running around all week long. We found 22
new investigators! That is super super crazy! We definitely can get a
lot more work dun (I just typed that accidently, and I'm keepin' it!
Hooked on fonix dun good 4 me.) Anyways, we are doin' great! (winnie)
We had a family give us a referral this week. We went over there
and taught the restauration. They seem super solid, and my favorite part
about them is their last name: Enamorado--significa: IN LOVE. We went
back by for our apartment, and they weren't there, and also their phone
has been disconnected. AHH! We are praying that we can find them again,
because they were super awesome.
Changing areas is super strange because you are still preocupada
from all of the people that you left in your last area. Only thing that
you can do is pray and hope that all of these people that you love so
much will be taken care of.
Okay, I love you all so so so much! ERIN- YOU ARE IN TROUBLE FOR
NOT WRITING! I hope you noticed that all of those letters were bolded!
:) But I do still love you.
Have the best week ever, and remember to share the gospel DURRANTE all times!
con muchisimo amor,
Hermana Spencer
