Wow. All I've been hearing about the past FOREVER is that Seattle Seahawks, and though we didn't watch the Super Bowl, we knew IMMEDIATELY when it was over and who won. It's like we were the only people in Washington that didn't watch the game (well, except for all the other missionaries). It's like everyone's friends now. And everyone's wearing Seahawks related clothing today, whether just the colors or actually the logo, EVERYONE is wearing it.
It's actually pretty cool. I'm not that into football, but it's nice the it's brought this community together. And 43 to 8? (that's just what I heard it was). Wow, the Hawks dominated!
How were the commercials? Be sure to tell me about your favorite ones! I was a little triste I could watch the commercials.
Umm... Oh! We met an amazing potential this week. His name is Saul (como Sah-ool), and we taught the Plan of Salvation to him in ten minutes on his doorstep (his mom wasn't home), and we were like, "Do you have any questions?" and he was like, "Yeah. How can I learn more?" so then we like victory danced in our minds, and said, "We can teach you more! When can we come back?"
We set a day. He wasn't there. We kept stopping by everyday until his brother was like, "I'm sorry if Saul gave you the wrong impression, but he's not interested." And we were sooooo triste!! And that just happened to be the WORST day on my mish thus far! Our best investigator had dropped us, all of our lessons fell through, and every door we knocked, we were rejected before we could even say anything. We were so triste.
But the next day was mejor. We stopped by Diana's house, asked her why she wanted to drop us, told her that she was progressing, she was on her way, and she needed to pray and see what God wanted. Then we got new investigators, and had great lessons, and it was so great.
And yesterday, we stopped by to see Diana, to see if she prayed, and if she felt like she needed to continue, and she was like, "Yeah, pero no tengo tiempo ahora. Pueden pasar en Martes?" So we're going back tomorrow!! :DD
So yeah. This week was super hard, but super good. I feel so blessed that I have to opportunity to be out here, to share my testimony with the people here, and that I'm to the point where I can share my testimony in Spanish with almost no hesitation. I love this Gospel. I love this language. I love this people. I love everything about this work, even the hard things, even when I don't love them in the moment. The only thing that could make it better would be if I got letters. If you want to send me some, remember to send them to this address:
Hermana Karolina Miller
Washington Everett Mission
P.O. Box 13390
Mill Creek, Washington
98082
I love you so much! Thank you for the time you spend reading these really weird emails! Les quiero!
P.S. Super awesome cosa. This morning, during personal study, the phone went off. We were like, "We're studying! Who's texting us? Everyone knows missionaries study between 8 and 9!" because we love personal study so much (I do, at least. It's one of my favorite things in the whole world). And the text said, "Hey, this is Cesar. We met a couple weeks ago when I was painting my house. I don't know if you remember me, but you left me your card. I'm going through a really hard time right now, so I thought I might listen to your message. When can we meet?"
So then we were like, "WHAT?? Oh my goodness! Aduksrogngirsdo! (just like that, yes)" Then we were like, "Wait... I don't remember anyone painting their house?" so we realized it was when we had exchanges, Hermana Andersen was with Hermana Pellegrini in Everett, and they came across this man. But he actually lives in Elder Woody and Elder Jones' area. But it's still super exciting. Usually, when you leave a tarjeta, people just throw it away like, "Why do I need Christ in my life? Pshhhh." So this was super exciting. It was worth missing out on fifteen minutes of personal study for screams of excitement, prayers of thanks, and dances of victory.
El fin. (:
