Hi Family,
How are y'all doing? I know It's so crazy how the time passes here on the mission. I feel like I just got here and I can't believe I am already out four months. CRAZY!!! When they say time sure flies by when you are having fun, that's no joke!! It sure does fly by when you are working too.
I think we inherited a little of the hot weather here because it was 100F the last couple of days. But today it sure did cool down a lot. We are so grateful.
Can dad send me his talk? Everything in California is going fine. I know it's a little hard right now. We are kind of at a dead stop in this area because none of our investigators are progressing. Some have lack of desire and other personal matters that get in their way.
Having a new companion is a new challenge, but a great one. It has made me miss Hermana Romero and I that I learned from her. It's just a different perspective of a person and just different attitudes on life and how the mission is viewed. I am not having as much fun as I did with Hermana Romero or the district that we did have last transfer, which is a bummer because I know last transfer it was really rare to have a great trainer and to have a great district as well.
We don't have any progressing investigators which is a bummer but it will get better. Daniel isn't doing too good. He hasn't attended church and he hasn't given up coffee and he has quit reading and praying so we are working with him but we have to move his baptismal date.
Our branch is OK, we are not getting a lot of fellowship. One of our zone goals is to have a member present at every lesson. We have a lot of dinner appointments this month. 14 so far this month. I don't know if it is stress or just switching from vegan to eating meat or just the Spanish food but no matter what I do, I have an acidic stomach all day. I eat a lot of TUMS. Recommend anything?
The most spiritual experience this week, I think the is when someone isn't reading their scriptures and we just read with them. Also, for me, it is all the insight that I get when I study in the morning, especially the scriptures from Preach My Gospel.
The funniest thing, well maybe it's not funny but its sweet. We were going to see a referral and his family was outside and they offered us some of their peaches off their peach trees and bought us Popsicles. We gave them a Restoration pamphlet and an El Libro de Mormon. Also, some of the branch members who work at a car wash, washed our car for us this week.
Most challenging this is this whole transfer. I feel like such a burden because I still don't know what I am doing, I ask a lot of questions, and am trying to do the best I can but I feel always stressed.
I learn the most from the scriptures. I now truly enjoy learning from them as we apply them to our lives.
No, I haven't had to talk in Sacrament meeting yet. We haven't really had to teach Gospel Principles.
I really don't know what I want for my birthday. I am always good with surprises. The only bad part is that transfers are the 1st. So, I'm not sure I will get all my packages for my birthday in time. But it will all work out. I think about it today and I will snail mail ya. I
I'm so excited that Nancy is coming. I got a sweet letter from Sestra Schoen from the MTC and she is doing great. She was going to write me but I beat her to the punch.
I love y'all so much and can't believe how long it has been since I've seen ya. But I know that you are only a couple of states away.
'Talk' to you soon. I'll snail mail y'all at Grandma's. Have fun at Snowbird and ride the new rides for me.
Love Y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Virtual Hug and Kiss (MUH) and Happy Fourth of July!
Love always,
Hermana Fitzpatrick
