So, remember Emily, our awesome investigator? Well, her husband got mad, so we had to stop teaching her for a while, but we went over and apologized, and talked to him about how families are forever and how one day, he could be sealed to his family, and he was asking awesome questions like, "Could someone be sealed without being baptized?" So, we're hoping to be able to teach him soon, too. (: Emily agreed to be baptized December 1st, but is praying about whether she should move it up.
Then Katie, our other awesome investigator, we really want to meet with her husband now, so that he doesn't get angry, too, but Katie says that he would be very disrespectful and smoke pot in front of us (you know, 'cause pot is legal in Washington). But she's still doing great. We come over, and she's like, "So, I know that we don't actually have this set up yet, but I just wanted you to know that you can't come over this day in three weeks because of this, but we could do this day instead."
She's also agreed to be baptized in February. We were like, "Katie, we've prayed about it, and we feel like you will be ready to be baptized on December 16th." And she was like, "... Can we do February 16th?" She's funny. But she's willing, and she asks really good questions.
Shyla is doing great. I don't remember if I mentioned her. She's 9 years old, and her mom, a less active, called us a while ago and said she wanted Shyla to be baptized. Shyla is so funny. She asks really funny but deep questions (often even irrelevant). She was on date for November 15th, but she has not come to church yet, due to her mom's work schedule. ): But we talked to her mom last night about Sister Miller, an awesome return missionary in the ward, and how she's professionally helped children in the past, so we're hoping she'll let Sister Miller take Shyla to church. Shyla is hopefully going to be baptized on November 29th. (:
We are being so blessed. I love it.
And we meet a lot of hispanics on the street, so I get to talk to them in Spanish. (: One time, we met Roberto, and it was on the way back from a dinner, so we had thin mints or algo from the members, and Sister Mahoni was like, "DO YOU WANT CHOCOLATE? Hermana, ask him if he wants some chocolate. CHOCOLATE? How do you say chocolate?" "Chocolate (pronounced in Spanish)." "Oh. WANT CHOCOLATE?" Roberto was trying so hard not to laugh, for which I was grateful, because in cases like that, they either laugh, or get offended. Then we were leaving, and she was like, "Buenas (bad word)!" Thankfully he understood it as 'noches' (I think), because it is not appropriate for missionaries (or anyone, really) to say things like that, haha.
We also moved apartments this week. That was a lot of work. We went from one building on the top floor to another on the bottom floor. It's nice, because now we won't have to carry our bikes up four flights on stairs every night, but it was a lot of work. Five elders even came to help (one of the companionships is three-packing), and it took ALL DAY to move all the stuff out and to deep clean the old apartment. Our new apartment is super nice, and we were able to organize it like we wanted to. (:
But moving out in the rain made Sister Mahoni sick. ): After church, we got permission from the district leader, and we went home and she knocked out for three hours. I used that time to finish unpacking and make some phone calls to set dinners and get some members to go give a blessing to a pmf's daughter we're working with.
Pues, creo que este es todo.
Con amor,
Hermana Miller
