Hello Family!
First things first:mother's day phone call. We are planning on this Sunday (obvi) at 7:45 ish 8:00 our time so 6:00ish your time (p.m.) so plan on that! super stoked. ok I think that is all the business I need to take care of. now to tell you about my week
As you know, we did the "Flap Jack Attack last Monday and were unsuccessful. I sent you pictures of that, right? Then on Wednesday we had another Relief Society Dinner so that was fun. We had it at Sister Adams' house and she is from Korea so she made us some really good Korean food. then we helped a new member move into town. She now lives in our same apartment complex right across the street! She is really sweet and invited us for dinner this Wednesday so that will be fun. We also went down to Utica again this week for Missionary Leadership Council. Kind of fun but its mostly just sitting for 7 hours trying to solve problems in the mission. But on the way down we had to stop in Watertown to give the Watertown sisters something so while we were there we stopped in Target and ate at Chipotle! Some areas have it all. I got a super cute cardigan with little pink bicycles on it:) anyway so MLC was fine. Then that night we taught a funny lesson. They are a new old couple we picked up named Bob and Marlene. They are really sweet and into their own church but they let us in so we teach them. Anyway, we were getting towards the end of teachign the Restoration and we ask them "If God were here right now, what would you ask Him about what we have taught?" Then Marlene says "I would ask Him why He is letting Obama run this country into the ground" umm ok...haha so that was funny. Then we are supposed to have one of them pray at the end so they can have a spiritual experience but they were both too scared to pray in front of us so we came up with the idea that we could all say our own silent prayers asking if the first vision was true so after we all pray Bob breaks the silence by asking "Do you know Mitt Romney?" yeah. it was a great lesson haha. but we are going back tonight so woo hoo! Also I have another funny story but I have to have something to write in my letter so I will just save it for that. In other news, Angel was baptized on Saturday! It was so great! And Aurora came with us early so we could fill the font so while we were waiting we taught her about baptism and confirmation. She is so great. She tells us she plans on being baptized but she doesn't know when and we don't want to push her so we will let her decided when she is ready. But yeah, Angel's baptism was great! He was really happy and Diego got to baptize him so that was special:) Diego and Erin had us over for dinner on Sunday So that was my week. Pretty fun. Its supposed to be warmer this week too. I hope you guys have a good week too. Super excited to Skype/call you. Keep writing me letters!! lates
love, sister quinn nilsson
