Thank you so much for your emails! I love hearing about how
the family is doing!!! And I'm SOOO happy that we're going to have
family in Colorado now!!!! YAY!!! Colorado is the best!! (Sister Bloomfield's Aunt & Uncle and kids are moving to our area)
I'm so glad to hear you've all had a good week!! I will try to answer all the questions!
The
ward here is FANTASTIC!!!! I love them soo much! Mostly everyone is
converts and a lot of them come from very difficult situations but
they're all sooo amazing! There is so much support here and I love them
all so much! We have dinner appointments about once a week which is so
nice! We live in an apartment complex. The manager is so awesome! He
says he would fill the building with missionaries if he could! He's
getting pretty close since 2 sets of elders also live in this building.
Not to mention 2 ward members also!
Victoria is SO beautiful! I can't even believe how perfect it is for me. It's everything I could have hoped for!
Oh
my goodness there has been so many miracles! It's been amazing! Just
the other day we were looking for a potential investigator. We couldn't
find her address but we drove past this house with a woman on the front
porch and I had a feeling we needed to go talk to her. We stopped and I
told my companion so we got out but for some reason hesitated. We went
to another house first where a really angry man yelled at us and slammed
the door in our face. That was kind of discouraging and I feeling
nervous to talk to anyone else. But I couldn't just leave without going
to the house we had driven past! So we mustered up all the courage we
could and went and knocked on her door. Turns out it was a lady who is
SO prepared for the gospel! I can't even believe it! I love her so much!
We are teaching her now and she's just so wonderful! I'm so grateful we
knocked on her door despite all the opposition we faced that day!
And
that's just one of the many many miracles we have seen! Being a
missionary is so awesome! If you pray with faith and trust in God, then
you have no need to fear!
I love the people here in Victoria
so much! It amazes me that Heavenly Father allows me to serve in such a
beautiful place. The other day we were talking to a man about the Book
of Mormon with the ocean just right in front of us! I can't even believe
how blessed I am. If you would have asked me a year ago if I wanted to
go to Victoria I would have said "um where?" But it is such an amazing
place and I love it so much!
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
