This week was great. We called it the "Perfect
Week" because this was the first time in a long time that our numbers
actually met or exceeded all of our goals for the week. Sister Stone is a boss
and she made sure that we met our goals with total lessons, team ups, new
investigators, stuff like that. We found some awesome new investigators this
week. One of my favorite ways to find new people (besides contacting on
Bergenline) is knocking on random doors and when people open we say "Hola,
estamos buscando Maria?" (Hi, we're looking for Maria?) And since there
are sooooo many women named Maria here that's really a believable thing to say
and people don't get weirded out. And if they say that there's no Maria there
then we just say "Oh, sorry, well, we're missionaries..." and start
talking to them. It might sound kinda dumb but we got an awesome new
investigator this week named Diego out of doing it!
Our Mission President has promised each companionship that
if they go through the area book and try to contact every single former
investigator, at least one of them will get baptized. So that's what we've
started doing. There are TONS of former investigators in our area book and it
will take a long time to get through them all. So we are just focusing on one
street a week (our area only has 11 blocks). We will eventually get through
every single one in our area and we area excited to see the miracles that come
from it!
Another thing that made this week perfect was that I got 3
letters and I got a package from my awesome family with Jesus the Christ and
some old Ensign magazines, as well as some yummy fall treats. Made me super
happy!
Also, after being super sad about leaving Union City, Hermana
Galvan is back less than two weeks later! Long story short, one of the other
sisters serving in Union City got emergency transferred, so her companion
obviously needed a companion, so Hermana Galvan was sent back to Union City!
She's in the same ward and everything, she just has a new companion and a new
area now. But I am super excited because I'll get to see her all the time! And
it was super special because even though the one week she was gone was the week
Cristian was baptized, she got to see him get confirmed yesterday! Because (in
our ward at least) convert confirmations are done in Sacrament Meeting the week
after their baptism. So that was super cool for her!
