Queridos amigos y familia,
Another transfer meeting come and gone, and we start of the first week of the transfer with some good new goals and biking our little hearts out in 90 degree weather! I hardly even felt it though because it is so worth it. We had a busy week with Mother's Day activities and biking in the middle of the week always makes it tough to get lessons in but we were able to meet a lot of our goals and even exceed a couple of them! :D Anyways!!! So the other day we were at the church after correlation meeting and Presidente Reyes pulls us into his office and tells us that Paola (out part-member investigator) should be " challenged" to baptism. I had felt the prompting as I thought about who would be a good person to focus on this transfer and her name just kept coming to my mind a couple weeks ago. People kept telling me that it was going to be really hard because she was so anti and I just never really believed it. She has always been sweet to me and I know she's going to be baptized this transfer! I am so exited! I am so thankful and a little scared but mostly hopeful... :) prayers please!
So this week we had out Mother's Day fiesta:D it was way fun. Hno Ramon had volunteered us to sing at the activity and so I offered to play the piano, since my singing skills have been going down hill since Hna Winder left me.... Anyways so this part got moved last minute because when we showed up to get everything ready to set up on Thursday the gym was already extravagantly decorated for Mormon prom. Hey had taken every inch of the building except for the sacrament room and we were forced to move our fiesta to one of the members restaurants down in Nashville. So on Thursday night we called and communicated the news and the party took place on Friday night. Even after the late notice a lot of people showed up! Including David Archuleta. And guess who didn't want to sing? He didn't... and I also really didn't want to sing but guess who was forced into it since there was no piano?.... Yup this has got to be one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. Anyways, he was going around heading all the moms in the branch their food and topping off everyone's dish with left over rice. Unforgettable moments for sure! :) we had to go home around pumpkin time so we missed the dancing but it was still a great activity. We had three investigators go! AND the food was good ;D
I got to talk to my mommy and my broskie yesterday:D it was great! I feel really really grateful for my family and I love that I will be able to have them forever.
Love,
Hermana Orellana
Ps Here is a shout out to my bestie Ludo! Happy Birthday sweet girl!:D I sure love you! I don't know what I would do without you. I'm so glad life allowed us to meet and be a part of each others life. I hope you have a wonderful day<3 we will celebrate soon enough;)
