We
are unstoppable, we will not be defeated! Brothers and sisters I have found the
Promised Land and it is Portales New Mexico! I know, who would have ever
thought, but I assure you it is. I am happier than a little school girl this
week!
SO
one cool thing about Portales is that there is a college here and there are
still a ton of kids on campus taking summer courses, so I get to talk to people
my own age. But the down fall is, I am socially awkward now when I talk to kids
my own age because I am used to old men and old women and people with a
ton of kids so yah, it’s pretty cool!.
Missionary
work here is amazing, as well the people here are so nice and everyone is
willing to at least talk to us and be nice. It is such a change from my
previous area. I now have regained hope in humanity :) I have been so blessed
with my new companion too, his name is Elder Marchant, he is a hard worker and
he knows his stuff. He is 19 and from Syracuse, Utah and we seriously just
bounce of each other when teaching and it is a beautiful thing.
This
week I decided I wanted to do something new and kinda different for missionary
work. During our morning prayers I asked Heavenly Father to let us know
who the elect person of the day was and to help us to know who it was by him wearing
the color red. I was kinda just joking around and thought it would be fun. But
to my surprise, we found Israel. He is 23 and married with 1 son. His mother is
LDS and he has wanted to learn more and be baptized for a long time. (He was
wearing a red Coca Cola t-shirt). God has a sense of humor, I think I forget
that sometimes, but He is willing to show us what we need to do and who is
prepared even if it is in a fun way.
Also
this week was fun because we had a severe tornado warning with a cloud that
turned green over our head and stated circling, but we didn’t hear any
sirens
or anything and we didn’t really know what was going on cause it was kinda dark
outside. But luckily we have our Zone Leaders who sent us a text and all we
knew was this "hey get inside", so that was fun haha. I am glad it
didn’t touch down or anything like that and I wish the communication to
missionaries was better sometimes, haha but hey the Lord’s hands are in all
things right:)
Well
I am a happy camper and I have more things to talk about next week, but I love
you guys so much and miss you all keep on keepin’ on!
