Livin' the good life in Santa Clara... August 19, 2013

This week has been awesome! I just love all of the crazy, insane, awesome experiences we've had! 
On Tuesday, we had to drive up to Palo Alto to pay a citation that Sister Ferrin got for not yielding.  The traffic laws are ridiculous up here! So that was an adventure.  And that night I actually tried good quality sushi and for the record- I still don't like it.  On Wednesday, we got lost in Sunnyvale and were almost an hour late to a dinner appointment /:. It was a little bit ridiculous and we felt really bad.  But we had a great dinner appointment anyway!  Thursday was a really long day.  We didn't even have a dinner appointment because we didn't have time for one! We were running around all day.  It was really good though, because we had an awesome lesson with Richie.  He hadn't been keeping his commitments or reading the Book of Mormon, so we read with him in Alma 32 instead of going on to the third lesson.  He really loved it and the members we had there were awesome! We are hoping that he is keeping his commitments now.  I guess we'll find out when we meet with him tomorrow night!  Friday was a crazy day! I had a six hour training in the morning with Sister Sotele, so Sister Ferrin and Sister Palmer went to all of our appointments.  Anyways, right after getting back from that, we went straight to the temple with Victoria! We did baptisms with her and it was a really sweet experience.  Sister Ferrin and I were both crying when Victoria was doing baptisms.  It was awesome! Overall, the temple was an amazing, wonderful, inspiring experience! Victoria was so happy! On Saturday, we met and taught Cody, a new investigator! The Los Gatos elders told us about him and they met with him with us.  It was a really good experience and he said the closing prayer of the lesson! He's amazing.  He then came to church on Sunday and said the opening prayer in sunday school! He's doing really well and we've only taught him once! So we have high hopes for him!
So that was my week. It was a great one.  Other than that, things have been basically the same.  Today for p-day we're washing our car.  Yay!  
Can I just say how much I love being a missionary? It's sad whenever a missionary here goes home.  Everyone refers to it as dying (Elder Phelps died last transfer).  I'm just glad that I am not dying anytime soon! I'm just loving it.  Every minute of it.
Read John 14!
Love you all!
Sister Julie Catherine Harris
