And then there were two . . .

Hello!

This is Sister Hadden and Sister Fowers, reporting live from Newbury Park, California. The weather is gloomy (they call it May gray) and the butterflies are out in force again! 

We are currently sitting in a Pep Boys in Thousand Oaks waiting for our car's oil to be changed. We have been waiting for about 2.5 hours, had time to walk a mile to Starbucks to get breakfast, walk a mile back, and finally decided to ask about it. The lady says she just put it in line to get the work done and it'll be two more hours..... send help. 

It's okay though. The Hermanas are coming to the rescue and are going to pick us up and take us to district activity (hide and go seek at the stake center). 

We have had a looonnnggg week. We started teaching two new people and have been out with the people. We had walk day on Thursday and have been out finding all week to no avail. But it's okay. The Lord works in mysterious ways. He has seen our efforts and is sending us people. We had two people come up to us this Sunday and tell us they have someone for us to teach! One was Camille (a teenager we are teaching who has basically been a member her whole life but hasn't been baptized because she needs permission from her dad). She told us she just started dating a boy and he wants to learn more about the church! 

The other is a Lady named Sister Tan. She is the Young Women's President and is a teacher. One of her co-workers has been having a hard time and Sister Tan felt like she should give her a Book of Mormon. She acted on that prompting and have her friend a Book of Mormon with her testimony written inside and told her how it could give her peace and bring her closer to Christ. Her friend was so grateful and felt the spirit testifying to her she began to cry and thanked Sister Tan adamantly. Sister Tan says she is going to invite her to church and to take the discussions and asked us to pray for her! Will you all keep her in you prayers as well? Her name is Julia.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms! I got to call mine yesterday! Thank you to all the amazing mothers and women out there who are such an example to me and to all they come in contact with. Give your moms a hug and if you see mine give her a hug from me! 

Love you all! Have an incredible week! Find missionary opportunities, they are everywhere!

Sister Hadden.
