Monday we had to get our car fixed and it ended up taking a lot longer than expected. We were getting the windshield replaced and we had an appointment (very early) but they kept delaying and we ended up having to leave our car overnight down in Santa Maria.
We stayed with the YSA sisters down in San Luis Obispo. Both the YSA sisters were being transferred the next day so it was nice to be able to say goodbye.
This week Hermana Raban and I decided that we needed to give more effort. We went back to speaking Spanish with each other and the Lord blessed us.
Thursdays we usually walk around Cayucos and never run into any Spanish speakers, but we ran into quite a few and our contacts that we had with other people were really great.
We taught a lesson to a guy who just graduated high school. We taught him the Plan of Salvation. We asked him how he feels when we teach him. He said, " I don't know man. I just get the goosebumps-you know?" We asked him where he thinks that comes from and he said he knows it is from God. He is so awesome and we got to pass him off to the YSA sisters during the lesson so that they can continue to teach him and find him fellowship his age.
Sunday a family had us over for dinner. They made my favorite dinner and brownies for dessert which is my favorite and sang Happy Birthday to me! It was a great early birthday treat!
I am excited for next week. I love serving with Hermana Raban. We have been growing so much and getting along super well. Next week will be a great week!
