This week was pretty good! And I've definitely improved my bike fixing skills!
On Tuesday, we had MLC and President is making more changes in the mission. We are doing a whole lot more facebook work. We visited a bunch of people. I had to fix a flat tire on Sister Eubanks bike. We had dinner with the Stubbs and it was fun! They have a 7 year old daughter and every time we go over, she calls us the sister mary's in a british accent and its the cutest thing! They gave us some little confetti poppers and we drank sparkling cider. We biked home, then texted some more people. We went on exchanges that night and I went to Gold Hill with Sister Blake!
It was fun to be in Gold Hill. Its out in the country and so pretty! We visited a bunch of people. We also had some fire lessons. One was with a less engaged member and we taught the first part of the Plan of Salvation! I love actually teaching the lessons so much!! The Spirit was so strong and the lady was crying. We had another lesson, then visited more people. We went to In n Out for shakes and some random member payed for us. That was super kind! We exchanged back.
Thursday was busy! Sister Eubanks had a doctor's appointment so we went to that. We ate lunch, then went to a lesson with a guy named Jay. Then we had a good lesson with our friend Joyce. We texted a bunch of people. Then we went to one of our new members. She just got a new roommate and he is the funniest guy ever! He accepted a Book of Mormon and said he wants to come to church!
We biked so much on Friday. We had to stop at Walmart so Sis Eubanks could pick up a prescription. We biked across town to have lunch with a member. She was baptized about 4 years ago and is a returning member. We talked about the temple and she started crying when we talked about doing work for her family. She is the sweetest!! I spent some time trying to fix Sister Eubanks bike breaks. They are rubbing on her tires. Unfortunately I wasn't able to fix them. We went over to this super funny member. She needed some help putting a water fountain for her cat. She also fed us dinner, which was sweet. We went to our second dinner with another member.
On Saturday, we texted and invited a ton of people to church. Then we visited a bunch of people and had a couple good lessons with some less engaged members. We did more visits, then came home and made some dinner. Also, our mission is switching to more facebook work and I had to post a video of myself.
Sunday was pretty decent. Church is at noon now. Our friend Daniel came and said he'll be back next week! We had a pretty early dinner with some members, then visited a bunch of people. We did some facebook stuff and watched the departing devotional. Its crazy that I'll be in the next one!!! We also found out transfer news! I'm staying and getting a new companion!! It'll be fun to end here!
One of the members here sent me a card thanking me for playing the flute in church. It was sweet! I love all the members. I have loved all the wards I've served in. The members are awesome!!
I miss you all so much! Its crazy that I'm down to my last transfer! I only have 6 weeks left, then I'm home! I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
