Wooooww, cosas. Like, wow. We weren't really productive in the way of lessons, this week, as we were preparing for Mari's baptism most of the time, but the lessons we did have were great.
We had exchanges on Wednesday, and Hermana Wahlstrom and I stayed here while Hermana Andersen went to Everett with Hermana Pellegrini (I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but I'm currently in the Lynnwood area). Exchanges, I've decided, only happen on REALLY important days. I don't know if you remember what happened with the exchanges last week, but this week was pretty important, too.
We had another lesson with Diana. Her lessons are always super important because she knows this is true, but is afraid of that, and it's hard to meet with her. Well, now she's on date to be baptized. (: March 8.
We visited the family that pretty much dropped us, on a whim of the Spirit, and they said they prayed about what we asked them to, and they don't know for sure what God wants, so we can continue teaching them. (:
We visited someone that was on date, but needed to come to Church first, and didn't, so we had to change her date, and hadn't been able to meet with her because she works and has school all the time, and we got a return appointment.
We had a lot of contacts that day, too. It was great.
The baptism on Saturday? So great! Hermana Andersen spoke on bautismo, Mari's brother-in-law spoke on El Espiritu Santo. As he's the brother of her sister's white husband, I was a little concerned when she said to put him on the program, especially where she doesn't speak any English, but he's fluent. He served Spanish speaking, and they only hablan Espanol in his house.
After the actual baptism, which was great, Hermano Colin bore his testimony, and then I bore mine. The Spirit was so strong the entire time. (:
The Plan of Salvation activity was pretty awesome, too. It went really fluidly. None of our investigators came, but the Everett Spanish sisters had a family come that now wants to be baptized ASAP so they can be sealed in the temple in a year. (:
Super exciting news that isn't mine? I found out just now that yesterday, my brother got his patriarchal blessing. That is so awesome! I am so happy for him! Yaaaaay!!
As you've guessed from the title, Miller Time is back. I'm pretty excited. As the Noche de Hogar (family home evening) with the Colin's, during the dinner part, Hermana Colin asked Hermana Andersen if she'd ever work in a bar (as Hermana Andersen, my companion, is from Las Vegas), and she said no. Well, apparently, Hermana Colin, before she joined the Church, was a bartender. So that's interesting. And Hermano Colin was like, "There's a brand of beer called Miller Time. Did you guys know that?" and we all laughed, then, when we started the NdH, Hermano Colin was like, "Hermana Miller Time, puede dirigir para nosotros?" so I conducted the music, and the rest of the NdH, he was like, "Hermana Miller Time, cosascosascosas,"
So that's pretty exciting. But also, the District Leaders (we have two, meaning they're both called as District Leader, rather than a DL and a DL Wifey. This is also the first only Spanish District, so we're thinking that President Bonham is testing the waters to make a Spanish only Zone. That would be cool) texted us this morning and said that, is we had time, and P-Day actually means P-Hours as it's only from 10-6 that it's P-Day, everyone is the District is meeting at the stake center for volleyball today. So I guess this means Miller Time is back. If only we had pina, jamaica, and manzana juice.
Les quiero,
Hermana Miller
