MIGUELINA IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!!!!! February 23. After 3 years of investigating and waiting for things in her life to work out. She finally found the courage and strength to do the things she needed to do. She got a blessing from the elders in December and they blessed her with that courage. In my mind I was ready to give up... We have worked diligently for almost 5 months and I was out of ideas... But elder holland said it best "some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come till Heaven, but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come." She is so excited and we are meeting with her everyday to make sure she is ready. This is probably the best news of my mission. I am 99% sure I'll be transferred in 5 weeks because my job here is done ;)
Other news... The senior sisters are leaving soon. :( I am going to be SO sad. I remember when I got here and I said to myself "man, I sure hope I leave Middletown before they do..." And here I am! I told them to let me know when their farewell is so you all can go and tell them thanks for taking care of me :)
Oh here's a fun story for you. So Friday night we got asked by a member to come over Saturday afternoon. Usually all of the missionaries go and we do service... So when she just asked sister Orme and I to go I figured she needed to talk about something. So we show up in out skirts and we're kind of nervous because you never know what they are going to say.... And she asks us to shovel off her deck.
And we are in skirts. And it's freezing. And the snow weighs about
1000 pounds because the top layer was frozen rain and there's at least
6 inches of other snow under that.
This last week we have been visiting Marjorie. She is amazing :) we took her to a visit with us and I think she liked it! We also help her set up her lds account so she can start doing family history, which she is pretty excited about. :)
