Week #55

CONGRATULATIONS!

WOW!

I was super super touched to see all the pictures of the week and read the stories! And super grateful not to see any bragging pictures of food! But I was thinking of you guys all day on Saturday and I am so happy that it all went super well and that Thanksgiving was as classic and family like as it always has been :) it really made me miss you guys!

The sealing sounded super spiritual! I am glad that Mike was able to use some of Grandpas clothes! That made me laugh a little to think that he accidentally forgot them! But we are all human! Haha That is cool that you got to take pictures! I didn't know that you could take pictures there! I am so grateful that the feeling of peace and the blessings are already in affect :) I have definitely set the goal for temple marriage one day and it won't be replaced!

This week was an interesting week! I will start off with quite a funny story! My Thanksgiving started off good with us studying as normal! We had planned for the interview with Hermana C and President McM (because of some homosexual stuff) for this day, so I was studying a little bit for that to help her prepare when we get a call from Hermana C. I answered kind of hesitant because she is never up at 8 AM but all she wanted was to know what time we would be coming to her house that day, so I told her at 6 PM and she told me thanks and then hung up. 

After I told Elder Stanley that I really thought she was going to back out last minute of this interview just knowing the bad luck I have! Right when those words left my mouth the phone rang again and it was Hermana C...I was like no way... so I answer really hesitant and she tells me that she wont be able to be baptized on Saturday...so I ask her why and she says she still has woman problems...and she asked us to pass by so she could explain. I was so sad! We had worked so hard by teaching her and preparing her, but either way she still needed an interview with President McM. 

So Elder S and I did a few practices for our Companionship Study to try to help her, we didn't want to know the details because we aren't authorized to hear it so we had to be very careful with the questions. So we go to visit her and we say the prayer, and Elder Stanley starts talking to her trying to think of the right question to ask, when she asks us if we wanted to know what happened. So Elder S says yes but not with too many details...so she gives a this really vague description that I really wasn't expecting or even understood! So I told her I didn't understand, and Elder S looks at me and whispers in English she's on her period! Then it all made sense! WOMAN PROBLEMS...I WAS WAY OFF! Haha it was a huge sigh of relief and a great laugh. 

The interview would go good! The thing we found out is that Hermana C has limited freedom to say a long story short, she just needs to sign some papers which need money. So she needs to save money and sign them and she will be ready! So it was a little bummer, but it wasn't what I had initially thought thank goodness!

The week would end with us traveling to do some Baptismal interviews for Santa Rosa! Which was super sweet. I have interviewed about 10 people from there so they always welcome me like one of their long lost kids! We helped with the baptismal service for witnesses so it was good to feel the spirit of baptism! Definitely another motivation for me and Elder S!

Well tomorrow I will find out what happens with the Changes. I feel that I will leave. I have no idea why or do I want to! I would love to stay and have Elder S stay with me but its not very probable!

I am so happy to read and feel the spirit of Thanksgiving and the sealing through the pictures and the letters! Thank you all for your love and support and I hope that you have a good week! I will write more next week! I love you and pray for you always!

Love Always,
Elder Milton
