Hey everyone!!!
This week has been crazy!!! We ran around all day on Monday
trying to get me packed, ready for transfers and I also tried to say goodbye
to everyone in the Van Nuys 1st Ward. I was able to stop by and see a few families. Monday night we had dinner with the Ikahihifo family! They made
homemade Cafe Rio for dinner and it was SOOOO good!
Halfway through our crazy night one of the main roads shut
down because a church caught on fire! We were stuck on the street for 30
minutes as we watched 11 fire trucks drive by and 2 helicopters trying to fight
this fire! It was a very exciting night! Nobody was hurt and they finally got
the fire under control!
So, I am back in Reseda for the third time and my companion
is Hermana Dunn!!! The first time I met Hermana Dunn was 16 months ago, very
early in the morning, at the Salt Lake Airport on our way to Mexico City. We were traveling companions and then we ended
up being MTC Companions! She is so
awesome and I am excited to be back with her again!
The Ward in Reseda has been so surprised to see me again! It
has been fun to go back and see everyone that I love so much! I have visited all of my "Resent Converts". My favorite was when I went
over and surprised Rafael and Lorena!!! I didn't take pictures with them but I
will this next week! They started screaming and hugging me! They couldn't believe
that I am back in the area!
Rafael continued to tell me all of the 500 things that I had
missed in the last few months.... he is so funny! When we went over to visit
them we taught about the Word of Wisdom again and played a game of naming
different foods and if they were good or bad. Rafael said I was cheating because I
kept saying all of his favorite junk food because I knew they were his favorites, haha. I love that kid!
Most of this week Hermana Dunn and I have been running
around trying to find new investigators! It is crazy to be walking down the
streets of Reseda and my old investigators stop me and say, "Hi". They are even
surprised to see me back! It really has been a blessing because last night we
were trying to figure out who to stop by and a part member family, who are not
on our records, popped into my head! So, I remembered where they lived and we
went over to their house and picked them up as investigators!!! I am so excited
to be back and help Reseda again!
Also, crazy thing that happened this week....we lost our
car. The Elders gave us a ton of crap for it because they didn't understand how
we could lose a car, but we did. We had to park really far away from our
appointment and afterwards it was dark and we were really lost. Hna Dunn and I
were walking around pressing the red panic button to honk the horn for about 25
minutes... but we found it, haha. It was really funny because we felt so stupid
just walking around these neighborhoods trying to find our car!
I hope everyone has an awesome week. Sorry I don't have a
ton of pictures but I will take more this week! Keep on being awesome!!!
