Week 36: A crazy week

 This week has been so crazy.. 😴

So, the Subienos who were the family in my last area on date to be baptized have to get married still, so their baptism date has apparently been put on hold and is TBD for the time being.. which is sad- especially becasue I hear updates about it in our district meeting (because I'm still in the same district just across the street in the stake center 😌), but all is well- the Lord has a plan for them and His timing is perfect. 👍

And Aidan is getting baptized still this weekend and so we're super excited about that, and he bore his testimony in fast and testimony meeting this past Sunday on how much the Book of Mormon and the gospel has already blessed his life! I wanted to cry- he's so sweet and innocent and ready to progress even more in his relationship with his Savior! And his mom still wants to be baptized too once her legal situation is worked out. So, lots of progress there!

Also, the Patricka family, whose daughter Carly has been coming to church activities for a while now, (who we met and invited to take the discussions at a ward activity) we have been teaching and they've been progressing and Carly is on date to be baptized May 26! We're hoping that Jackie, her mom, will hopefully join her as she continues studying and praying about the Book of Mormon for herself, and eventually Kyle, her dad, will too! We'll see- so far they've been reading everything we've invited them to in the Book of Mormon (all of 1 Nephi in one weekend 😄🙌) so it looks good so far. Plus, it's true!- so, if their hearts are prepared at this time, it'll happen. 😉

So that part of the week was good. We also had exchanges again (always), which was crazy but a lot of fun and really good to get to know some of the other Sisters even more and help them and learn from them and just grow together! 😳 lol

AND, Sister Tuku (💛😭 love her) has appendicitis!! So we stayed at the ER until like 3am last night with her and her companion (they were our roommates until just last week) and they did biopsies and stuff to make sure it's appendicitis and are seeing what surgery they need to do to save/fix her (our mission nurse thought it was a kidney stone so she just sat at home in pain for a week now.. 🤕). So, Sister Moa stayed with her in the hospital and Sister Bentley (her companion) and I slept at our house, and it has just been a lot of back and forth since then.

AND, next week we have a ton of lessons, 2 more exchanges, a baptism, the other sisters (Sister Bentely and Tuku- after she's released from the hospital eventually) are going to move in with us, and it's my sister's (@Sister Aurelia Wilcox 😇) last week as a missionary, too!

So, here comes death. RIP me and basically all of us. I feel kinda like I just ran a marathon.. is this how you felt afterwards mom? 🙄😅

Anyways, have a great week! Email me and stuff. Packages are nice too. 😁😂

Love you all,

Sister Wilcox
