Welp, things are good here in Pioneer Valley.
It's weird more people over here actually know where Victorville is.
Random things happened this week.
We were sitting in our car about like 3 words into a prayer when we here a bang on our car. Both of us open our eyes thinking "What's going on?" Sister Sonasi actually was thinking, "What is Sister Pearson doing during my prayer?!" and I look out my window to find a little shark-head-helmeted boy on the floor with his bike. He seriously just ran straight into our car. His little hand was waving in the air "I'm okay, I'm okay! This happens all the time!" He gets up and shows us all of his band-aids and then walks away. Luckily, the car was okay too. Just some tire marks along the bottom. Haha.
A little Asain 6-year-old came up to me and told me his friend wanted to date me and that I should say yes. I asked him, "How old is your friend?" He replied, "Nine." I then told him I was too old for him and he ran away.
We were just about to cross the street and we saw a guy who's motorcycle stopped working on the other side of the road. We got the go for the cross walk and went over to him. We ended up walking with him as he rolled it all the way over to our church and luckily some people were there who helped him get it back to his house. He told us he thought it probably happened because God was trying to tell him to go to church. We agreed. :)
We had a Missionary Devotional and guess who came?!?!?! Sister Webb and the Brandenburgs! I LOVE THEM!!!!! :D AND GUESS WHAT?!?!! THEY ARE GETTING BAPTIZED THIS SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW EXCITED I AM!!!! I get to go and play a song. I don't know which one yet, but hopefully I'll figure something out.
Caleb the 9-year-old is getting baptized on August 2nd and Joe is getting baptized the Saturday after that. They are awesome. :) It's been so great being able to teach them.
So I walked up to this man who was pulled over with his van (later found out his GPS wasn't working) and he first said: "JW?" Me: "Nope." Him: "Mormon?" Me: "Yes." Then he appeared to be getting back into his car, but instead he came right up to my face like a foot away, looked me in the eyes, and proceeded to yell at me for like 5 minutes straight. All I could really say was "Alright, have a great day!" and we rode away. Haha:)
Ten minutes before church we got asked to teach the lesson in Gospel Principles. That was funny.
We had exchanges with the other sisters this week. I got to spend 24 hours back with my trainer in her area in Graham. We had lunch at some pretend-to-be-Chipotles and it was sooooo good (not as good as Chipotles, but sometimes you have to settle.)
Our Bishop told us about some cool Family History thing. I guess if you type in Roots FB on Google it's some thing that shows you what famous or historical people you are related to. Seemed pretty cool.
In Zone Meeting this last week we talked a lot about Family History. And the Spirit just hit me so strong. How often do we realize that our earthly existence would not be if it weren't for our ancestors who came before us? And as we live here we have the chance to learn about them and even more importantly, help them receive the blessings that we enjoy right now. I know that all of our loved ones who have passed on continue to live as Spirits. They have the opportunity to learn and grow. Because of the Restoration, we have knowledge about this. This video explains really clearly God's Plan for our Happiness...
Welp, OFA ATU brothers and sisters. (It means I love you in Tongan, haha).
Until next time, I'll be doing it the Federal Way.
Love,
Sister Pearson :)
