I hit 22 months out on the mission on Saturday, and turned 21 years old on Wednesday.
I had a mission birthday, and a real birthday all within 3 days of each
other. :) Thank you everyone who wished me a happy birthday! :) I really
appreciate all the emails I got and hearing from some people I haven't
heard from in a while.
I had a really interesting birthday. I got a call from the housing coordinator that morning, he wished me a happy birthday than told me that we had to move immediately to the downstairs apartment, and I was like are you serious? Can't we wait to do this after transfers, but he said no, so we started moving that morning. Good thing we were only just moving downstairs into the sisters old apartment, because that would have stunk only having 3 weeks left, and having to move far.
So that took up the whole day moving downstairs, so I really didn't do too much else for my birthday. We did, however, go to Chilis as a district to celebrate my birthday, that was pretty fun! :) The rest of the week was pretty good too.
We got to go on exchanges with our zone leaders, and I got to go to their area. It's always fun to switch it up a bit. We had good lessons with our investigators this week. We taught our new investigator, we read the Book of Mormon with her and that was awesome! We are reading some with her because she doesn't understand it very well, so we are trying to help her understand it better and get in the habit of reading her scriptures everyday. That is the most important habit you could ever get into! Please, everyone get in that habit haha. It will bless your life more than you can ever know, and if you read as a family, you will grow closer together. That's what we promised Bolinda, she wants to have a better family life. She's making some good efforts so far, she's awesome! :)
On a really good note. The less active that we have been working with who was dis-fellowshipped just got re-fellowshipped back in the church, and can now hold callings!!! :) We are so excited for him and his devotion on working towards getting back.
It's been an awesome week and we are hoping to make this next one even better. Gotta finish strong and work hard my last couple weeks! I hope you all have an awesome week! See You all soon! :)
