I hope you are enjoying the nice warm weather back home, because here in the Bronx we got a nice little cold spell last week! We heard rumors it was going to get warm by March, but that was a lie apparently. We are now teaching the 10 commandments to everyone, with a focus on not bearing false witness ; ) haha. Luckily all my winter clothes are still in good shape, and I can handle another month if necessary. Although my coat and scarves all smell like project buildings... Haha. Tasty… ; ) Either way, I cannot get over how much I LOVE this place. People are amazing here, and we are still just catching those miracles every day!
On Sunday we had an AMAZING day at church! We had 3 investigators and two less actives at church, and reached almost all of our goals. My favorite part was seeing the faces of people as they took more steps in faith and came to Church. Norris came to church for the first time in a long time, and she just glowed. The more we work with her, the more her walls break down, and the more her testimony grows. There is a different feeling in her home now! The Spirit is AMAZING!
This week was a week with just some hilarious and awkward stories... Haha.
At church on Sunday one of the young men from the other Spanish ward comes up to me with a whole posse of the other teachers and says, "Hey Sister!" I turn around and reply, "Hey what's up?" He looks at the other young men and they just giggle. He turns back to me and with a huge grin on his face says, "I think you're cute!" Hahahaha, oh my goodness I think I turned bright red!! I love the youth, and apparently they love me too ;)
We have new investigators, who are the grandkids of one of our active members! They are 8, 11, and 2 and probably the craziest most hilarious kids ever. They just came here from the DR like 3 or 4 weeks ago. They have been coming to church with grandma since they got here and LOVE primary. We had a lesson with them on Monday and brought some of the elders. They were just dancing and playing around, and it was hilarious to see how kids are just born with the culture in them! Dominicans have a certain beat and dance moves, and these young kids just totally oozed Dominican. The best part about is this family is that the one boy's name is Si! YES, YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY. BOOYA! All my Duck Dynasty friends will understand….We have the best investigators ever.
Before our lesson with Si and his Siblings we had dinner with the family and the elders and then played around with the kids. Well…... that day I was wearing a button up blouse. We must have played around somewhat hard with the kids because in the middle of the lesson I realized the button in the middle of my blouse had come undone... I have no idea how long my shirt was gaping open! Oops... Hahaha.
All in all it was a good week. The Church is true, and always will be. We can always pray to know the truth, and that is the beauty of this Gospel!
Love you all,
Sister Dodson
