Last Monday was Hermana Trujillo's Birthday and our district got permission to do something special for it. (Elders and Sisters can't hang out with eachother on P-Days.) Another person who got permission to come was HERMANA GIRON! Gosh I miss her so much! So we all went and ate at WingStop. Then we went to Cherry Creek Mall which is in our area. It was so much fun. Never get a bunch of young missionaries in a toy store. We were all so entertained. haha. One thing that is really big in my district is Pokemon. It makes me happy. haha. It was so much fun. The only thing that was missing was a dinner with members and a birthday cake which we didn't have. Trujillo didn't get a birthday cake and I was so sad. But I plan on making her one this week(: so no worries.
Then on Wednesday I just came to the conclusion that I was so grateful for my Heavenly Father. There was a family in my ward that got into a bad car accident. A lady ran a red light and hit them. The 2 young girls weren't strapped in.... The youngest lost half of her nose and had to have plastic surgery.... Wednesday we went to visit them... I was trying so hard not to cry during our visit with them. The youngest is named Sasha. She was so upset during almost the whole visit and her parents were trying so hard to make her happy. Who knew that gummy bears could go along way. One of her aunts gave her gummy bears and she became happy. I was so happy to leave with her in a good mood. We promised to bring her a monkey and more gummy bears. We left and as we were driving home I just started crying... balling... I was so grateful for what the Lord did for that family and for what he has done for me. Even when I think about it now I cry. When we returned a few days later with the promised items she was doing sooo much better. There were friends and family over laughter and smiles. She actually talked to us when we gave her the monkey, who she named Sparkles, and started eating the gummy bears. If you all could keep the Mendoza family and particularly Sasha in your prayers.
We have been so good at finding since we got here. We've been able to get 2 new investigators each week and this week we got 3. One of them is named Josefina. We took Hermana Serrano to the lesson, who is a convert, we really needed her. It was such a powerful lesson and I felt the spirit whisper to me that we needed to ask her to be baptized. Then Trujillo asked her to be baptized! AH! She accepted! This week we are going to put her on date. It was so amazing that we both got the same prompting from the Spirit.
Then yesterday came. It was Martin Luther King day so we weren't able to e-mail because all the libraries were closed. When we got out the door there was a HUGE parade happening on Cofax the street right next to us. I have pictures but I'll send them next time(: Since we didn't have to e-mail we all had extra time. So we went over to the other hermana's house and Hermana Gutierrez made us lunch, Trujillo slept, I drew a little. Then the whole district had a dinner together at a restaurant that a member owns. Went the older missionary couple who is in our ward as well finally got there (they are always late) they said we had left the mission. We were all so concerned especially Elder Diaz (the district leader). We called President and got permission. However turns out we weren't even out of our mission. We all worried and got permission for nothing. haha.
Okay kids! I have to go! Love you all! Stay Sweet and remember Don't Do Drugs!
Love
Hermana Durfee
