We met our new Mission President and his wife this week! We had a district meeting and got to hear them speak. Sister Carter showed us an adorable slideshow of their family. They had us ask them questions about themselves. They are so kind, and excited to be here! President Carter is a former ER doctor, and told us some cool stories! He shared a message about how our Heavenly Father's motivation is love, our Savior's motivation was love, and our motivation for this work, for everything, should be love! It was great!
We had so many service projects this week! We helped Tomas and his family with their tree house. We were there for about ten minutes, and he was like, "Well, we've done everything I had planned. You can leave if you want." We were like, "No, we can stay and do more!" He came up with a few more jobs, and we were able to help out for longer. We helped a family in Santa Paula--the Nelsons--to lay sod in their back yard. They are doing a bunch of home improvement projects during the quarantine. We did the food share project again this week!
We found some new friends this week! Matt and Grace are a couple that live here in Fillmore! They are a miracle find. Sister Lee messaged Matt, and he was interested in learning! We asked him when a good day and time would be, and he goes, "Right now"! We call and he said his girlfriend was going to join in! They are going through a lot in their lives right now, and really connected to the atonement when we shared it with them! Edwin we also found through FB! He lives in Houston, Texas and is sooo cool. We've had two lessons already, and he loves learning. He always says he feels something when we meet! He is starting to read the Book of Mormon on the gospel library app and is so in tune with the Spirit!
We went on exchanges this week. I got to teach a bunch of English lessons with Hermana Butler to people all over the world! It was really fun, and I mostly just sat and smiled (because I don't know that much Spanish). I want to learn more, though!
Wow, this email is already soo long! So much has happened this week! Keep Charlotte in your prayers again! She is doing so great!
We had a crazy week with bugs...I'll put some pictures! Haha! I had an encounter with a Black Widow, our apartment has been infested with roaches, and I found a super cool beetle and scared my companion with it! Good times! LOL!
