Serving in Palmdale!
Hey guys! soo its been another couple weeks and SO much has happened! Ive been transfered out of Wasco & it broke my heart a little to leave such amazing investigators and members behind. PLUS i left my companion, hna ruelas, who i learned so so much from and i just loved working with that sweet girl!! The transfer started out a little rough but the Lord knew exactly what he was doing when he stuck us together... we cried when we found out I was leaving! HOWEVER i have been truly blessed with another amazing companion, hna greenwood, who also started her mission in Nicaragua! Now there are 4 missionaries from the Nicaragua mission in our zone.. Nicas unite!!
Also get this: I'm now serving in Palmdale, CA &&& my grandparents plus other various family members live about 20 minutes from our apartment ... WEIRD RIGHT? randomly throughout the week I'll notice a water park or a mall that I have definitely been to multiple times when visiting family in the past. Weirdest feeling!
Crazy fuego story:
Hermana Greenwood & I felt specifically directed by the spirit to tract in an area kind of out of the way. We quickly realized the area was wealthy & we weren't having success. After a while we retreated to the car unsure why the Lord had directed us here. Just before we reached the car we looked to our left and saw a nearby fence engulfed in flames. there was no one in sight & the fire was quickly growing. We called 911 & ran to warn those living in the nearby house. When we returned to the fire the flames were AT LEAST 15 ft high. We used hoses and buckets to put as much of the fire out as we could. &&& then the firefighters showed up & helped us out. after that the whole neighborhood was out to see what was going on! talk about golden proselyting moment!! & everyone wanted to talk to us to find out what the heck we were doing putting out fires in skirts! so we shared the gospel with a whole lotta people. talk about being in the right place at the right time? RIGHT? Our Heavenly Father works in some pretty cool ways. Then we went straight to a family history activity smelling like smoke.
As missionaries we make sacrifices/ put up with things to please people. For example when the Latinos here ask you if you'd like more food but you're barely half way through the first plate and ready to burst you say yes anyways. Its just what we do. Before I left Wasco there was a member who insisted on doing our nails my last p-day in Wasco. After much persistence we agreed reluctantly. We were at her house for FOUR HOURS. Can I add that she gave us no choice on HOW the nails would be done. Sooo we had extra long acrylic nails & my comps were covered in gems hah somehow I got out of that one. Thank you to Hermana Greenwood my new compa it only took an hour for us to get them off!!
We met an older lady in her front yard and she invited us in. We noticed her house was kind of a mess, so we offered to help her clean it & she accepted. As we were cleaning she told us a lot of stories about all these strange dreams shes been having. Then she explained one dream she had and it was exactly like Lehi' s dream. She was shocked when we told her it sounded like her dream was in the Book of Mormon. She had never seen or heard of the Book of Mormon before.
We are teaching a CI (confidential informant)!!!! *don't worry mom it's safe* (which means he was arrested when he was a bad guy & now works for the good guys) his name is Alex and he has 4 kids, who all came to church on Sunday! He wrote his life story down in a journal and asked us to read it because he wants to publish it. When we read it we thought it sounded like a legit action movie.
