So I'm staying in the Rancho YSA ward. But it was a week full of nerves for sister Cook. That girl HATES transfers and President Hobbs ALWAYS throws us curve balls.
It was a really good week over all though :)
Tuesday... We had a interviews with President Hobbs. It was so great to talk with him. It's always just very insightful when i have my interviews with him. He is such a soft spoken person but at the same time super funny and he carries the spirit with him, so that you can always feel it. I LOVE IT! He asked me some interesting questions that really got me to reflect on how i have changed lately. And something I really realized this week was how much my testimony has grown. From a faith to a knowledge of the thing i am teaching. I know i still have doubts and struggles but i know how to work through those now in a way i didn't know how before. My mission has truly Blessed my life in more ways then i can count :)
Wednesday... I got to go on exchanges with a sister from Rockville MD. It was so nice to be with someone from the east coast! haha it was just cool because we got to talk about all the difference between the DC area and here. Plus Hermana Beaz is just really funny so we had a great day!
OH also! we found a girl that lives in Upland named Jessica Redd! it was so weird i saw the name and said we had to go to their house. But when we got there, the mom wasn't very happy to see us. She was polite (probably because i was so excited she didn't know how else to act) but didn't want us to come back. But i though it was neat.
Thursday was great!
We set up our booth at the local college again. But this week was not as successful as last week. We had multiple groups of people come and yell at us and asking us ridiculous questions. Only a few of them were sincere in wanting answers, but it was okay, me and sister Cook had a good laugh about it later and we had some good practice trying to teach large groups of people.
We also got a new investigator! His name is Miguel and he's awesome! he's been around the church his whole life. He has tons of friends, he goes to institute a ton, works at the bishop store house, ect. But he's never taken the lessons! When we asked him why not, he said no one ever invited him! haha we think people assume that he is a member already so that's awesome! the only down side is that he is 36 so we have to pass him off :( but we're still excited for him!
Friday I went on exchanges with sister Christensen! I had a blast! We were on bike and i loved it! We got to talk to so many people because we were biking. We made a goal to stop other biker too and it was really fun to see how they reacted! also we met a crazy guy who thought that God was the sun. He then told us it was okay if we hadn't come to the realization yet, but that we would soon. haha i love people :)
