Hi everyone!
This week Texas has shown us yet again how we can literally have every season in a matter of days or even hours. This week it got up into the 90's and we were sweating like crazy but this morning I put on my coat again because it is cold and pouring rain. I am not sure I have ever seen as much rain as I did this morning when the heavens let loose. I feel like there is not a whole lot to update y'all on. Like half the ward has been gone this week because the company that the Bishop owns like half the ward works for and they were all on a business trip in Mexico. We were kind of worried no one would be at church but it actually ended up still being full.
Last Monday we went to the "#1 tourist attraction in Odessa" which is really sad because it is actually nothing exciting at all. It is a stonehenge replica at the college right by our house. We were the only ones there and there really is nothing to see or do but we got some really cool pictures thanks to Hermana Acostas creativeness.
I had my first Zone Conference this week which went really well. We got to watch the worldwide missionary broadcast which was super good. They also introduced a revised schedule for us which I am sure most of you have already heard about.
We got 3 new investigators this week!! One of them we found while looking for a former, we knocked on their door and she said he didn't live there anymore (it was his mom) but we were able to teach her twice this week. Laura is hesitant but I think she is ready! She kept her first reading assignment and even said the prayer during one of our lessons! We also got a new investigator from a part member that we got to see yesterday. Her name is Casey and her husband has been less active for 20+ years but he says he still believes everything the church teaches. They have 3 kids and we are really excited to be able to help them come closer to Christ and hopefully baptize them!
We had a lesson FINALLY with Falisia (the one we committed to baptism) It has been since just after Christmas since we have been able to see her because she has had some major health problems. We got to teach her the plan of salvation and she wants to be baptized still. She said she knows it is the right decision. She told us she wants to be baptized so she can "live in the sun" (celestial kingdom) so we got a good laugh out of that!
