Today has been a crazy adventure trying to find a place to email! It stormed really bad this morning and completely flooded La Quinta and the library where we email was closed due to the flooding! But luckily, last minute, we found a place to email.
This week was a bit of a whirlwind. Just as always there were good times and a few bad moments.
I went on an exchange with Hermana Jepperson this week. She's new to the mission, only been here a couple weeks. But the minute I saw her I said "I know you!" and it only took a few questions to find out where I'd seen her before. She went to Utah State! Love that place. She was actually in my ward my freshman year but we didn't ever really meet. But now, almost three years later, I recognized her the second she walked up! I honestly feel like she will be my companion in the future, so I'll let you know when that happens!
Also, on Friday night Carmen got baptized! Remember that story about when I had forgotten my planner and since we were both new in the area we went to the only other place we knew how to get to. As we parked we noticed a "for rent" sign next door so we remembered that one of our street contacts was looking for a place to rent. We wrote down the information and went to visit the person we came for. The next day we went to that street contact to give her the rent information. When she opened the door she started saying every reason in the book why she didn't want to see us anymore. We told that was fine but that we had some information on a place to rent since we knew she was looking. Her entire face changed, she took the information and we were able to keep teaching her. Her daughter Nadia got baptized and I got to go back for her baptism and on Friday Carmen, the mom, was baptized! I was planning on going back to see it but last minute my ride cancelled on me so I couldn't go. But the important thing is that she was baptized! So great :)
And we're making some progress on the pinata! Who knew that it would be so much work?! But the activity is this week and I'll try to send pictures of our finished product!
Gotta go! The computer's kicking me off. Love you and miss you all. Until next week!
Love,
Hermana Granado
