mon- for our zone p-day everyone came to out area and we went to this nature trail that is full of alligators. it was pretty cool and it was super funny cause all the elders were bragging about how they were going to wrestle some gators. but the very first one we saw was a teeny baby and they wouldn't even touch it. so it was pretty entertaining to watch them trying to catch it. i saw probably 18+ gators. it was sweet. Then we went on exchanges and i stayed in lake chuck and led the area and sister Niua came with me. she came out a transfer after me so i told her we would have fun cause it was the blind leading the blind. but i got a taste of what a COMPANIONSHIP feels like. we were equal with everything and it was so nice. i also got a taste of what training would be like. i could totally do it if i get to stay in lake chuck. but we will see. We visited a LA we have been working with and she just went on and on about how she doesn't like sis E but that she really likes me. she said she can tell that i am a normal person and that i have flaws and I'm not afraid to make mistakes. so i guess that was a complement. hahah i defineataly make a lot of mistakes.
Tue- was a busy day and me and sister Niua totally rocked LC. i dont think anyone knew what to do with us. We went to the ghetto to contact a referral and she was baptist and just requested a visit cause she was lonely and wanted someone to come and visit her. so that was interesting. then we met with a LA and talked about comference cause she didnt know what it was. while we were with her she was telling us about a supposed LA that she found and she just so happened to be walking by so we talked to her but i think she was a little mental. she was talking about her pastor and how she had church on saturday and all the missionaries in Cali were dating each other so she was wondering why we wernt dating anyone cause we are both so pretty and she was just going on and on so we decided that she was never a member of our church. i told her we would love to visit with her but she said we couldnt come over cuase her kids cuss and she dosent want us to hear that . so i gave her our number and told her to call us and we could meet somewhere not at her house. Well then we left do go LA hunting and she called like 20 minutes later and wanted a ride. .. . yeah. then we had a lesson with the Guillory's and it was a good lesson. Sister Niua doesnt teach much cause she is in a trio but we divided the lesson in half so we were both teaching and she really brought the spirit! it was amaZing. we were all in tears except the husband. but it was good. i shared some really personal stuff about my life and i just felt the spirtit really strong. Then we had dinner with a couple and their baby. it was really fun. they are really funny and she leads the music in sacrament mtg. then we left and drove to Orange TX so that we could exchange back.
wed- our dryer was broken and a whole bunch of stuff so we stayed in and waited for maitenience to come and fix the stuff. our sink was leaking, our ac was leaking, our light was broken so we got all that fixed but our dryer is still broken so we just waked back and forth from the elders appt to dry our stuff. boring long day. Then we had dinner with sister Trahan and then went to visit the LA we found that is from Utah. she is going to move back at the end of the month. she is moving to Fountain green Morgan area probably.
thur-i had a migrain so i was in bed most of the morining. then we met with Lee and sis E basically just yelled at him the wole time cause he isnt progressing. i feel so bad for him. he is so cute. he had a dream that he was getting robbed so he called the police and when they got there and noone was there they took him to the hospital casue they said he was old and crazy. but he passed all the tests cause he just had them the week before so he got to come home. poor little old man. i love him so much. Then we had dinner with a family in the ward and that was fun. they are awesome. but we didnt do our Hour of power again casue sis E wouldnt quit talking. it was frustrating but i couldnt do aything. then we had susans new member lessons with the MOrris's again. it was really good and susan said the funniest thing after! we were talking about praying to know and the fruits of the spirit so when we were leaving and walking to the car she was like " when yall were talking about the fruits of the spirit i was thinking about how that would be a really good brand name for the under wear that yall have to wear, you know like fruit of the loom but instead its fruit of the spirit?" hahahahahah i basically almost peed it was sooo funny! i love susan so much!
fri-we had zone mtg and our zone leaders are on this kick where they want to be the best in the mission so we are playing "capture the flag" with all the districts and whoever gets the best numbvers gets the flag and all this junk. its annoying. and we have to pass out a Book of MOrmon a day for this whole next transfer. so that will be a challenge. but we can probably do it. then our car needed new breaks so we took it to the shop and it was almost done by the time we got back from zone mtg. but we had to wait for a hwile. then we had dinner with the stk pres wife and then went back over the the LA that we saw on monday cause she wanted a blessing. so that was good. her home teacher came to give it to her and after he just taked to us forever about all this stuff cause he thinks he kows everything about the gospel. it was interesting but weird at the same time.
sat- watched conference at the church. it was amazing. i loved it. we had our LA we taught about conference come to the morining session so that was goo. then the elders made us lunch inbetween sessions. they are so cute. i am going to miss them. we had dinner with a family and then we went to another LA house to visit with her and do some service but she just wanted to talk
sun- conference and the elders had an investigator with them. he was 18 and a really cool kid. we went to the Trahans for lunch and they were showing us how they are in the Ensign in march of 2007 cause when hurricane Ike came they lost everything. there house was gone and only the cement slab was left. so they are famous. haha it was funny. then after we went to the nursing home to visit some LA and talk to ppl then we went to the varners to check up on them but they werent home. Basically all of our investigators ignore us now and it is super frustrating. but we just go by and hope that we can catch them eventually.
I am so glad that we had conference and i am so glad that we ahve a living prophet on the earth today! I love this gospel and i love being able to share it with others even tho noone will listen to us. Its hard and i get really sad sometimes. but obviously the lord trusts me or he wouldnt have sent me out here. I love you all and i miss you so much! I hope all is well and that you guys have an awesome week! Love you! Sister Hamilton
