8/11/2014 9 Sisters in the House!

I know sometimes I say regularly that this was the craziest week of my mission, but this time, I'm serious.  This week was the craziest.  We received news Sunday night that on Monday we would receive mini missionaries.  That is when youth from the stake next to us come be missionaries with us for a week, they are with us from 7:15 to 9:30 at night, and they stay at a member's home at night. Guess who we got?  The president's daughter, Sister Maluenda. ha. It was super funny to joke about during the week.  She ended up being companion's with Sister Stradling and I got to be companions with Sister Byan, she is from South Korea, and she's been here for only a few years.  She is the kindest person I have ever met in my life.  Sister Byan and Sister Maluenda have been on mini-missions before, so they kind of knew how to act, and I honestly believe we got the best mini missionaries out of all the youth.  They were so awesome and wanted to do everything they could to learn and be the best missionaries they could be. Then, Monday, I received a call from the Assistants to the President that I would be training a new greenie in a few hours. So we went from 4 missionaries in the apartment to 4 mini missionaries, two greenies, a dead missionary, and me and Sister Stradling. So now I'm in a trio with Sister Stradling and Sister Quintero.  Sister Quintero is awesome!  She doesn't really act like a greenie, in fact, I think she was more sane than I was this week.  I feel really bad for her because I didn't really have a chance to welcome her in, but rather threw her on a bike for the first time all day in Texas 109 weather until she threw up. Wow, what a great trainer she has! It was crazy. But we had some incredible lessons.  We brought two members to the church with an investigator.  When Sister Quintero shared her testimony, relating to the investigator that having faith to do what is right is hard, and having the faith to come out on a mission, the spirit touched everyone in the lesson.  By some miracle two investigators came to church this week.  And for some reason still unknown to me, I got a call going to 3 day leadership training this next week. Life is still great, and I'm learning how take what comes and love it. :)

Love,
