Hola Familia! Feliz Ano Nuevo!
This has been a pretty fun week! It is so crazy that it is already 2017! Happy New Year everyone! New Years here was great, we had to be home by 6, so we ordered pizza, watched the Testaments, colored/drew, Hna Rosario tried false lashes for the first time(it was so fun! She looked so cute ha), among other adventures, like finally eating some of the chocolate I got for Christmas (I am trying to NOT eat it, haha). But the holidays are over, so back to work! I am so grateful I didn't get trunky! Haha, I hope most if not all of you know what that means.
So a funny story that happeded Sunday, and then it continued over into Monday! Ill explain. So we were knocking doors Sunday night (we now have church at 1, so we do not have a whole lot of proselyting time anymore... we also can't knock past 7:00 at night, at least the sister, bc it is not safe until the days get longer) and we knocked into Louis. He accepted a prayer, and he was a pretty nice guy. However, I forgot his name in the prayer, and so I stopped talking, trying to remember. For some odd reason, I really wanted to call him Jose. I have no idea why! After a lengthy and VERY embarrassing pause, he and Hna Rosario both said his name at the same time. Still embarrassed but grateful, I continue on with the prayer, of which I thought flowed really well and I said all the things I felt he needed(in Spanish). I thought it was so weird, because afterwards, Hna Rosario called him Jose and he corrected her. He seemed so amused, and I felt that it was because I forgot his name. I didn't even realize it until after we left what had happened. I asked Hna Rosario why she called him Jose, ad if she felt like that was his name too! But that is not why at all! Turns out, after being corrected in the prayer, I plodded along rather valiantly, but called him not once, but TWICE Jose! It felt so natural to call him Jose, haha. I was super embarrassed once I realized what ACTUALLY happened, oh my.nIt's okay, though, because he called us yesterday and asked for a Book of Mormon! I am so glad, even though I am super embarrassed haha. So yeah, definitely a funny story for the books, haha.
For the Moffitts, My STL is Sister Root! She knows you guys! You guys went to school with her!
I had my first interview with President Richardson yesterday., and it went really well! He is big on eye contact, so that was a little disconcerting! Haha, but he is great, and so inspiring!
I am out of time, but I love you all! Have fun with those New Year's resolutions, and don't get too discouraged if you do not progress as fast as you like. Something I am learning here is to just take it one day at a time, and do the best you can with the time you have to improve. Turn it all over to the Lord, and He will help you find your way. Bye!
Love,
Hermana Stokes
