Hola Familia y
Amigos!!
It's been another week
here in Marietta, Georgia and boy has it been hot. I am eager for it to cool
down. But I am doing great!
Lots of lessons this
week with wonderful people. We currently have three people we are teaching with
the name Maria. It gets confusing. Sorry.
Maria and the kiddos
are doing great :) I brought cupcakes to the last lesson and they paid great
attention ;) Maria is learning very fast and has constantly has great
questions!
Maria is sharing the
Book of Mormon with her friends and it is so neat to watch her grow!
We had a neat lesson
with Maria this week and hopefully she can come to church next week.
Yadif. He is a hoot
and a holler. So much fun to teach this 10 year old. And he has been coming to
church regularly!!! That one loves soccer. A lot.
One of my new favorite
members Lolita came with us to teach Lizbeth, RIcky, and Linzy. We reviewed the
Restoration and Lolita is an All star in lessons.
More lessons with some
new investigators that went well and I am looking forward to watching them
progress next week! I'll tell you more about em next week!
We did a lot of
service with some new friends from the Dominican Republic and put bananas in
grocery bags for a food drive! Plus got a tshirt. Service don't count unless
you get a tshirt to prove you did it. Jk. Jk.
Well, we moved
apartments. From one side of our complex to the other side. I bribed the Elders
with pancakes to come helps us out at 8:00 in the morning on Saturday. They were champs and walked beds, dressers across the parking
lot.
We had a cool activity
in Downtown ATL, we took pages from the Book of Mormon and had people highlight
every reference to God or Jesus Christ. We had lots of interesting and touching
conversations as we shared with people Another Testament of Jesus Christ. All
the other missionaries in my zone were there as well!!
Jonathan got his
temple recommend Sunday!!! And he passed the
Sacrament during Sacrament Meeting. Probably one of the most special moments of
my mission when he switched positions so he would be the one to pass it to me
as I was seated at the organ. I don't know how to express the feeling I had.
Having witnessed how much he has changed and grown in the Lord. Oh my goodness,
the light in his eyes. I feel overwhelmed by the love our Savior has for each
one of us and that we have the opportunity to change each day and improve. We
can keep trying, keep growing, keep learning. All thanks to the Atonement of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
So pumped to go with
Jony to the temple on Saturday! We also have some
branch members coming as well to make a good trip out of it :)
Right now we are at
Hno Montenegros! The Eclipse/Event of the Century is happening at the moment.
Thank goodness my parents sent my companion and I the special glasses, because
EVERYWHERE was sold out. It is a pretty funny thing to see Jonathan and Juan
Carlos looking up at the sun with the glasses.
Well, I have an
eclipse to go watch.
No one go blind.
Please.
Con Amor,
Hermana Draper
PS: Jonathan dice: estoy mirando el eclipse com las
hermana draper y con la hermana de la rosa y ella son las dos mujeres mas
buenas que yo he conocido en mi vida y an sido una bendicion para mi y ustedes
an tenido la bendicion de crecer con la hermana draper y ojala ella se case y
tenga muchos hijos y que no se olvide de mi esas son las dos cosas que mas
quiero en esta vida
