Buenooooooo,
Welp, one thing that hasnt seemed to change between areas is that I still play the piano in scrament. Looks like ill have to start learning how to play the christmas songs! This branch is straight up awesome though, it is also SO close to turning into a ward! Its gonna happen soon, I know it (: Presidente Martinez is awesome aswell, he is actually a convert of 5 years and was baptized in Chi 5 (my last area), so it was fun hearing about all the members he knew and everything. Im excited to be here and for this new adventure. We have been teaching some amazing people and families here.
Hermana Norton:
She is the sweetest human being ever, I seriously love her! So she is basically from CANADA!! (but lived in Indonisa, Panema, and her family is currently living in Las Vegas), and has been on her mission for almost 6 months. Theres always so much to talk about, and we obsess over the things in Canada (Tim Hortons, parogies, Canadian candies, the accents, west edmonton mall, penticton, the beautiful land... ect) it has been so much fun!! She does say "Eh" all the time though, so we will see if I pick up on that one...
Luis:
He is a brother of someone that the Hermanas have been teaching here for a while, we just started teaching him last week and I am so excited to keep working with him. He is 27 and wants to be an author. While reading the Book of Mormon this last week he took some good notes and pointed out a lot of things he learned about faith. He is so insightful, and has a strong desire to learn more. Rather than it being more of a lesson it seemed like a descussion, and by the end he was testifying of faith, and the importance of having works with that faith. It was so cool to be apart of it!
Teresa:
She is a member referral from Hermana Pacas (who makes the BEST papusas ever!!), we stopped by this week and she immedietly let us in. I was like awesome! We got to know her a little bit and then transitioned super well into the 10 HTBT points found in PMG, then into the message of the Restoration. It was the first time Hermana Norton and I taught together, and it went so well! The companionship unity is there, it was great! Teresa loved it and by the end was basically testifying about prophets and how it is important to have living prophets that guide us today. We are excited to go back this week (:
Crazy Lady:
A funny moment of the week was when we were tracting, we were walking down the street and this lady was out side talking on the phone, so I just gave a friendly wave and she goes "Hey youre Mormons right?", we were like "Yeah!" Then went in to talk to her. We chatted for a second then somehow we started speaking spanish and immedietly she goes "oh, come in!". Once again I was like awesome! We taught her and her friend Manuel who was so intrested, but she wasnt that intrested and instead gave us a referral to go teach her daughter so her grandson can grow up in a church!
Car troubles:
Sooo I now have a car again, we have a Red 2017 Toyota Rav 4 and its pretty good I dont mind it, but the other day our light went out. (Which is like the easiest fix ever!) But since we are missionaries and these are mission cars we arent allowed to do mantinece on them so we had the call Elder Kuhns and drive all the way up to the mission office to get him to fix it! It was like a 3 hour round trip just for a 2 second repare. But hey now we have light!
Phone troubles:
After we got back from the mission office our district leader called us and we were just going over some highlights of the week so far. Well after we go off on this long rant we wait for a response and nothing happens! So we try turning on our phone but it didnt work! It freaking died!! We were like "darrrrn" so we tried charging it, but little did we know it would never turn on again!!! Luckily Hermana Norton has a phone so we just put the sim card in hers, but none of the contacts were saved to the sim card! Yeah rough life. Anyways it was just the battery that doesnt work anymore so we have to wait to get a new one, and in the mean time we borrowed the elders battery so we could get some contacts off our phone. Its been an adventure.
All is well here,
I hope you have a great week Lighting the World!
Hermana Cutler
