Well, I can't believe it, but another week has flown by in good ol georgia! The weather is perfect right now, not too hot or humid, it feels just like spring and looks like it with all the trees blooming, it's so beautiful! I hope you all are doing well!
This week has been super awesome, and I've started picking up more spanish which is good! Last week was super overwhelming, but now I feel like I can understand a little more of what people are saying which is good. It's a little weird learning spanish in the states because we really only speak Spanish when we are at church or with members or investigators. And sometimes tracting. Which talking about tracting, we did a lot of this week! It's super hard to tract because so often Hispanics here are scared to open their doors because they think we are immigration. But when they have opened, they have usually been very welcoming and have wanted to hear more.
I have been super grateful for my companions this week. They are both so amazing! They each have such a powerful testimony, and they are so good at sharing it with people wherever! In the store, on porches, even at stoplights! I'm not even kidding, Hermana Bailey got out of her car and shared a card with some guys in the car next to us and invited them to church! Hahaha they are also both so great at spanish and helping me out lots.
I've also been super grateful for the amazing faith of the members and investigators here. One investigator doesn't have much, and was embarrassed about coming to church because she didn't have skirts. We told her she didn't need to be embarrassed, but she was still nervous so we started asking around for some skirts to give to her. Then later that week she called us super excited, and told us that she gets two free outfits from a charity every month, and this week she got two skirts and was so excited to wear them to church! It's so amazing to see her faith and humbleness.
This Sunday I had the opportunity to teach primary again, and it was so much fun! I love teaching the kids, they are so cute! After church we then had a less active come to the church and we helped her with her work and gave her a short poweful lesson. However when we were done with everything (cleaning up, mingling, getting blessings, and teaching), we realized it was 8:15 and we were still fasting....we still had one more appointment though so we went to visit them, and she gave us some cake and jello! We finally got home around 9 and we broke our fast and ate the cake and jello. Haha it was delicious. Super healthy too.
Anyways, thank you all for all your emails and letters. I love hearing from you all and am so grateful for your amazing examples!
Con mucho amor,
Hermana Frank
