Hello! So the library was closed again yesterday! I hope they don't make a trend of this! Anyway, this week has been great!!
Sister Ferrin and I worked really hard this week and we got our numbers way up! We taught 19 lessons and had 140 contacts!! So the work is going well. We are trying to keep up the good work! Transfers are coming up soon though, so we don't know what's going to happen!
Wow. Has it really been 12 weeks already?? At then end of this week, I will be done training! Weird! I am loving all of the people we are teaching and I'm so excited for them! Lilli, one of our less-actives, is getting a temple recommend soon! And a patriarchal blessing!! We're so excited for her!! It's amazing to see how the Lord is hastening His work and how we can be a part of it!
We had our Sister Training Leader with us on Saturday. It was so much fun! It was nice to have a Hermana with us, because we don't know Spanish! It came in handy a couple of times!
Things have been going well and the weather is cooling down a lot, so now I can handle it! Some things I learned this week:
1. There's Mormon standard time, and then there's California standard time.
2. People here don't remember a thing. ever.
3. There's always something going on somewhere.
4. Everything people do involves alcohol.
5. People always ask us for money.
6. Don't walk around after 8.
Among other things. This week has been very educational and very interesting! We've met some cool people and had some fun experiences. Some perks to being in a YSA ward:
1. Do you like pizza?
2. Free food. all the time.
3. Sacrament meeting is always an adventure.
4. You never know what's going to happen at dinner appointments.
And sooo much more. Haha. Can I just tell all of you how much I love it here? I probably sound like a broken record because I say that every week, but it's true! This is an incredible area and it's absolutely where the Lord needs me! I know there are people who are prepared and I'm so excited to go out into the drunken streets of Campbell or the chinatown-feel of Cupertino to find them! I love California. I love my mission. I love the Lord.
Love you all!
Sister Julie Catherine Harris
