So Rosa ( the one who has cancer) is doing better this week, as well as her daughter. They ended up not having to do surgery which was awesome, because now she has a week recovery rather than a 6 week recovery. Sadly though we have not been able to talk to Blanca the grandma. She has sort of gone into hiding. haha so we'll have to try again this week. We actually also had dinner at quinteros it was super good rice beans and some tender chicken and sauce idk what it was but it was good. Then Nicki came over, and we talked and talked
and talked for like 2 hrs hahaha. I don't think we're really supposed to do that but it was incredible.She's absolutely incredible. She's from Georgia. She's definitely a black lady, but she loves the Hispanic people. She speaks fluent Spanish and just loves the people. She has been through soooo much and still has a faith and trust and love for Heavenly Father. So she had a Tongan friend who's family was Mormon and she had studied a little on the church but never with the missionaries. Then she got back with rosa about 6 months ago and had seen the change in her life and the joy she had and Nicki said it wasn't a coincidence that she was running back into the Mormon church. She said she had been super depressed about 6 months ago and then she found rosa who she calls her sister because they grew up together through high school. And ya so now she's meeting with us and knows a ton and has awesome questions and she's just awesome I love her. So as were sitting there I get this strong feeling to have her pick a date for her baptism. This is only the second time we've even talked to her. But the spirit was really strong and I brought it up and was like I feel like we should pick a date and she was like aight lets do it! So I opened my iPad and she picked the 28 of nov! It was sweet. im So excited for her. She's been a single mom with two kids, they're now older. The daughters 24 and the son is 18 but ya. She's 41 and I like love her o my gosh. Her and Rosa have fibromyalgia and it's been super hard on them but theyve been so strong and is such and inspiration to always push hard and have faith.
We were able to talk to Jennifer again. we had a pretty good lesson with her. She has asked her mom again for permission and this his time she didn't get a no but kinda just listened. We thought
it was good and shes just gonna keep talking to her and push her, and
show her how much this means to her. So we're hoping. And we might
invite a member named Hermano Alonso to talk to her mom again because he's been the
only one to really get through to the mom. It's crazy but worst comes
to worst she can get baptized in March! So we'll see.
Tali is getting ready to be Baptized!! He had his interview this morning and passed with flying colors :) He getting super excited. Its this Saturday. He ready and says he can hardly wait.
so ya thats been this week :D
So I keep getting asked about what i do for food so here it is haha
For breakfast the first week was cocoa pebbles haha. but i got sick of those after like three weeks. Then i went to pancakes for a while and would put on different things like peanut butter or different kinds of jelly, Different fruit or put in chocolate chips it was fun. but i got sick of those, so i now im going back and forth between oatmeal with apples and cinimon, and doing stuff with eggs. i put different stuff depending on the day. Sometimes a few of these sometimes all haha: tomatoes and peppers and onions cream cheese, bacon, or sausage. Then I put some salsa, sometimes my homemade salsa :))) and then sometimes i put it in tortillas or sometimes on bagels. so ya :D idk what im going to do this week haha. for lunch it used to be hot dogs and sandwiches, things that were easy haha. now ive been doing more healthy haha, so i do steamed vegetables with chicken or tuna or white fish. actually this week i did rice and beans and sausage and vegetables. we also will have our leftovers if we go out to eat for dinner. For dinner we almost always eat with or at a members house. haha its funny probably 5 out of 7 days of the week we have rice, chicken of some kind, and tortillas haha. but its always good and different so it doesnt get too repetitious haha. but ya thats kinda how its been with the whole food situation :)
Hope you guys all have a great week
