We haven't gotten any mail from the office yet, so we are still waiting for her birthday package. Hopefully we will get it today. So, I've been hinting that she is going to be getting a package, but she's not expecting one from anybody. It's been really fun. She's going to be thrilled. Since she is going home so soon, she's hardly received any mail at all. Two of her family members told her that they sent her gifts to her home in Arizona. She always says, "I'm still here!!!" So, I know that your package is really going to make a difference for her.
We are going to a Yankees game again today for Pday. This is a really important game for the season. The two top teams. It'll be really good. I'm sneaking in a peanut butter and honey sandwich, because I'm not going to buy nachos again. Too expensive!
Our baptism is for Alex. Did I tell you how we found him? Really, he found us and he is a miracle investigator. It's wonderful to me, because of my fast for July. I sincerely fasted that Sister Sanders and I could bring one more person into the waters of baptism before she left. And I knew that it would happen. I'm learning so much that the Lord gives us all of our righteous desires. So when we found him, I knew that we would have another baptism before too long.
My Spanish is improving. I understand a lot, to the point where I'm usually just missing words here and there. Speaking is still very difficult, but it'll come. I'm confident in that. I'm learning a lot about following God's will, and about how much power one person has. And how often, the only thing that is limiting us, is us. I'm learning to step out of the way and align my will with God's. It's hard, but those are the days that I am the happiest.
Some other fun things that happened this week:
Sister Sanders reached her 18 month mark on July 26th. We had a mini dance party in our apartment, and I gave her some purple earrings.
Our ward had a fiesta on Saturday... Wow. It was legit. Dominicans know how to throw a party.
We had a great Sunday...Alex came to church and so did Martha! Who I've never talked about because, she never seemed really interested in the church. It was great to see her there. We are going to try to start teaching her again. OH, and for dinner we had bacon wrapped chicken ( a long with lots of vegetables) !!
Sister Sanders and I are going to do one more musical number together, her last Sunday. We are doing Love at home and Love one another. Still working on the transitions, but I think it will work nicely.
I found out that I'm playing a musical number for a baptism this weekend. Surprise! Oscar is going to be singing Divina Luz AKA: Lead Kindly Light, and I'm accompanying him. It'll be interesting.
OK... Well, I've got to go. It's time to head to the game. I love you so much. Thanks for you support and I hope to hear from you soon!
Con Amor,
La Hermana Kindlespire
