Easter was lovely yesterday! I've never sat in the same room for so long with so many musical numbers, and I've been to musicals! We had special musical programs for both our wards, and everyone was very talented. I admit that I was suffering with my eye lids on a couple numbers, but being chronically tired is all part of being a missionary.
So many great things this week!
1. LAURA CAME BACK!
Oh I was so excited! So. Excited. In fact! We called her two weeks ago and got a man that told us we had the wrong number and to stop calling. But last week she called us (from that same number), told us she was so sorry and asked us if we would be willing to teach her again! We taught her on Tues and Weds, then she texted us that night asking if we could meet on Thurs too! We told her we really just couldn't fit it in, but she asked for more homework and she met with us on Sun and then came to church! She is on fire! Pray that it stays that way!
2. We had a great lesson with Susan. She is really working on getting clean and learning more about what is expected of her, she agreed to live the Word of Wisdom.
3. The train stalled for probably 7 minutes going into Harvard Station, long enough for us to realized that we were actually supposed to get off at that stop. I'm sorry to the people who had to wait needlessly while we realized that that was our stop. The Lord watches out for us.
4. Diana, a member in the University Ward, from Italy, told us the story of her and her families reactivation - it was amazing! Her uncle blessed his baby boy saying that he would be the guide of his family. Most of her family went inactive soon afterward, but her little cousin, when he was 8 years old told his parents and family that whether or not they cared, he was going to get baptized. His 10 year old cousin soon followed, and because of their examples, and that one decision of faith, her entire family made their way back to the church. Her Uncle remembered how he had blessed him and told him that he would be the guide. Now they are all faithful members that travel miles on Sunday to attend church. She wants us to help her learn more! She is so faithful and wonderful, and we will meet with her to help her gain a greater testimony.
5. Sister J and I are getting along swimmingly. We joke and laugh, and I'm becoming more assertive (yes, shocking) and warming up to being more of a "people person."
6. Went on the Blue line this week! Last line of public transportation for me, and I conquered it. boo. yah.
7. We went to a baptism on Saturday! It was amazing and I was able to see Sis Fig one last time. We talked and laughed. I'm sad but really happy for her that she is leaving today - hope she is doing well in Utah!
8. We remembered to pack a lunch for our day at the church, which was glorious. Usually we spend the whole day there at meetings and almost die from lack of nourishment. But I made us both sandwiches and we faced those meetings like troopers.
9. Easter dinner was beautiful, and just like home! We ate ham, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, and salad! Everything was splendid, gluten free, and so pretty! I even got my own personal dessert, made gluten-freed.
10. We have more work than we can even do!
The Lord is blessing us so much! We are happy, mostly healthy, and we have had a ton of work!
Never hesitate to write or email, I love you all
Love
Sister HRP
