I don't know if I
have time to even write half of the amazing things that have happened this
week.
We've really seen the Lord's hand in all that we do here and are so
grateful that we are serving here in El Rio. I'll be sad to (likely) leave in 2
weeks but I know that He will put me where I need to go!
We are teaching an
amazing new family that the Zone Leaders passed off to us this past Tuesday.
They have read the Book of Mormon and believe it is true! They are coming to a
baptism with us on Thursday and I'm really excited for them to have that
experience! They weren't able to make it to church on Sunday because one of the
girls was sick but Melissa, Ashley, and Arely came to church! We were able to
hit standards this past week which was really great!
Oh wow, Sunday was
just amazing!!! One family after another showed up at church on Sunday! Ixerida
and her family (Arandeny, getting baptized on the 13th), Yeris and Ashley (13th
too), Hermana and Eric Robles, Karlena Borbon and her whole family, the Munoz
family, Hermano Villalobos, etc. It was too awesome! It was the best Sunday
I've had here by far! We also had our investigator Francisco at church who
we're passing off to the elders tonight.
We went on exchanges
this past week and I was in Sonora. I was able to see Hermana Quijada and
Evelyn who have since moved from El Dorado. Really cool “coincidence” (no such
thing) running into them while I was there on exchanges! They are both doing
really well. :) Exchanges were fun and Hermana Adams did
great her first time in the area for a whole day without me. She is going to do
such amazing things here in El Rio :) So
excited for her!
The zoo was fun last
week! While I don't believe it was quite worth $9 we have a lot of fun memories from it. We
have a super great zone here haha. I'll be sad to see so many of our awesome
missionaries go home in 2 weeks. It will be crazy to see what happens at the
end of this transfer. We're all just really unsure!
We are getting our
iPads tomorrow before or after District Meeting. So next week I'll likely be
emailing from my iPad. Weird!
We hiked a different
hike up in Sabino Canyon yesterday and it was a lot of fun! Afterwards we had a
carne asada luncheon a la casa de la familia Santacruz :) it was so much fun
going up there with everyone! I am really sore though because after we still
went to zone sports. I spent the first hour throwing around a lacrosse ball :D
an elder had his parents send him his stick and then he bought another one! Oh
it was so great!! I gave myself 2 blisters because I've lost my calluses but it
was seriously so great! Want to send me my stick? Haha just kidding. That would
be cool though.
Our Branch
Missionary Leader leaves on his mission to Chicago tomorrow, Jesus Peralta.
We're so excited for him! He is going to be such a great missionary!
We also dropped John
this past week. It is a bummer but we know that right now he isn't ready. One
day though :) for sure!
Okay that's all!
Love you! Talk to you soon!

Last week's zoo trip
Sierra titled this one "Family Reunion"
(it took me a minute, but Hma. Adams is 6' 1" so the Elder is several inches taller than that - the rest of their "family" is in the background)
U-Swirl yogurt after the zoo
Sabino canyon hike yesterday (Memorial Day)
This is a picture in Sierra's manual for their new Ipads they are getting.
She is convinced that it was taken in Daybreak somewhere
and challenged us to find the location. We will have to go looking!
