Last week I forgot
to share this scripture with all of you so I'm doing it now so I don't forget
:) Doctrine and Covenants 127:4 "And again, verily thus saith the Lord:
Let the work of my temple, and all the works which I have appointed unto you,
be continued on and not cease; and let your diligence, and your perseverance,
and patience, and your works be redoubled, and you shall in nowise lose your
reward, saith the Lord of Hosts. And if they persecute you, so persecuted they
the prophets and righteous men that were before you. For all this there is a
reward in heaven."
So to continue from Saturday
the 18th: Recapping - I'm staying in San Lorenzo and I'm getting a new
companion Sister Rice! She's from Alpine Utah :) LOVE HER TO DEATH! I was so
excited when I found out :)

But that happened Saturday night. The
craziness that happened today is that I accidentally left our phone in the Spanish
Sister's car when we drove home from playing sports this morning. Long story
short; we had a prompting to go to the chapel (at 8 am) and there were
people there! So we used a brother's phone (found out he's in the stake
presidency I think) and we saw an area 70! We were told that Elder Natress was just
around the corner! They were doing interviews to call the new Stake Presidency.
So we called the Spanish Sisters and got their address and picked up our phone.
The Spanish Sisters played a prank on us; they changed their name in our
contacts to our mission president. Then they called us, pretending to be our
mission president on the phone to call me as the next Sister Training Leader!
ugh... silly sisters.. But then Sister Shkapich actually DID get a call from
President a few hours later. We also got a few potential investigators today!
Cassandra really wants to go to the Visitors Center! She was taking an online
test when we knocked on her door. We also had a really weird thing happen; we
were knocking on some doors in a town home complex and all of a sudden smoke
starts coming from out of nowhere and gasses us away from one of the doors we
were going to knock on. Then we heard the door open so we walked back and there
were kids home but no parents. We moved on and while knocking on some other
doors a little ways away, we hear loud fire crackers or something, Huge bangs! I
looked and that same house with the kids in it had a kid on the top floor
throwing firecrackers and "smoke bombs" even when we left! So
silly...
Sunday we had Stake
Conference with Elder Natress! Then we took Linda our recent convert to the Visitors
Center and gave her a tour. It was a really spiritual experience! Then we ate
lunch with the Samoan ward.
Monday: We
went to lunch at Chili's and then bowling with the Walnut Creek Sisters.
Tuesday: Transfers!
Today Sister Rice became my new companion! We made a goal to memorize Mosiah 2:41 (which
i have down! :)) Also, a tip from a worker at the grocery store regarding Pineapples.
Before you cut them up, you want to turn them upside down for 3 hours. That way
all of the sweet juices will go to the top :)
Wednesday: New
missionaries arrived in our mission! We also met a Brother and Sister who used
to be in the same ward as a senior couple that helped to fill in at the Visitors
Center! It was super cool! Brother Grow used to be the bishop in San Diego and
is 5’ 4.” The other brother was his councilor and he is 6’ 9 ¾” tall. XD
Imagine that!

| I made a Mexican Pie! |
I have to go :( But
I'll finish next time :) WE have 2 new investigators! Odalys is one and she
really seems promising! She really wants to change and be a better
person.
Love you all!!
Sister
