Tabitha sent me a picture of my missionary plaque in my home ward. I almost forgot about that, haha! It made me really excited to see it!
So we started off this week with interviews with President Richardson. He is seriously the best. He and Sister Richardson do so much for the missionaries and for the people of Southern Florida in general. I appreciate them so much. And they're also the funniest people! I remember on our first night in the mission home, we were waiting for the interviews to finish. Sister Allen and President came out of their interview and the first thing that President did was turn to Sister Richardson and exclaim, "Honey, she's never had a lemon oreo before!!" He then gifted each of us with a lemon oreo, LOL!!! They're hilarious!
Mariela and Gladys are two adorable Venezuelan women that were recently baptized into our ward. Mariela invited over a bunch of people to her house for a Noche de Hogar. It was so lovely, and they the missionaries to come. Elder Ortiz gave the lesson, and then we ate! :)
Ummm... This last Friday was the FOUR-MONTH MARK OF MY MISSION. Where is time going?! President said that it would go by in the blink of an eye, and I didn't entirely believe him. But it is! Missionaries need to live every second and take advantage of every day! Time really does fly!
I heard my last song playing in the gas station on Saturday. "I Lived". And I heard "Shut Up and Dance" in Walmart the other week. It was so weird to hear those songs again. It felt like something from another lifetime.
We also swung by the Javier house last night to share a spiritual thought and see how they were doing. Maria was cooking and she asked us if we wanted some tostones (fried slices of platanos). We graciously accepted and BOOM! She gave us dinner! She gave each of us a giant plate of bown rice, black beans, spaghetti, lightly-fried chicken legs and tostones! SO YUMMY! And so we ate dinner with Maria, Jose and their sons and shared a brief message. They're such a kind and giving family. <3
Oh, and Hermana Franchi fed us breakfast on Saturday morning, too! SUPER yummy pancakes and hot chocolate! And she made Hna Lightheart a dog-shaped pancake. :)
Right now we're such spending most of our days searching for opportunities to serve and people to teach. The Lord's work is rolling forward. Doctrine & Covenants 3:3.
Les quiero tanto! Tengan una semana buenisima! Hasta luego!
