today we kicked off the week with our Yoga class again!
then we went as a
district to get our flu shots......I almost passed out.........shots stress me
out! then we all got shave ice because we didn't pass out getting our shots
haha.
funny moment this week: we were going to meet some new families. we finally
found the address of one and we knocked on the door. the dad eagerly opened the
door, then his face changed as he said "you're not the pizza man"........sorry
sir..... haha.
We had a dinner with a wonderful family this week and they invited their
friend over to dinner. after dinner we shared a little spiritual thought and
invited the friend to meet with us to learn more about the gospel. he said he'd
think about it. Then we invited him to pray and ask God if
it was a good time for him to learn more about the gospel....my companion promised him
that if he would read the scriptures and pray every day that blessings would
come into his life. the member added his testimony and said "you have just been
promised, by an authorized servant of the Lord, that if you do these things
blessings would come into your life. and I add my testimony and promise to that
that not only will the blessings come into your life but you will be able to
see them and recognize them IF you are willing to do these things." the spirit
was so strong........ it was such a privilege to be in that room and feel the
spirit.
We had a Japanese dinner this week. my companion is Japanese and one of
the elders is half Japanese so they loved it.....the haole elder and I made it
okay....we struggled a bit with the chopsticks but not too bad.
mom and dad- thank you for teaching me how to use
chopsticks!!!!!!for real! life skills!
so we got to try a bunch of little colorful pickled veggie kine things that I
have no idea what they were.....but they tasted alright.
This Sunday was fast Sunday......the last fast Sunday on my mission! so
next fast Sunday, I want to have a spot saved in the Rocklin chapel right in
between mommy and daddy! well, I'm out of time, but I am loving it here!!! time to SPRINT!!
