Hey y'all!! What a fun week! :) It totally FLEW by; I feel like pday was only the day before yesterday or something. You know the drill: time flies when you're having fun!! ;)
Not gonna lie, this week had more awkward moments in one week than I've had in a long time. It's been a pretty awkwardly fantastic time. We had a home visit with this cute newlywed couple only a week after their wedding and it was pretty awkward. Plus they weren't technically in our ward anymore. BUT they were super sweet and actually fit in perfectly with someone we're trying to have fellowship with! Wow! God works in mysterious ways! ;) Also Sister Weston hit a Home Depot bucket head-on while we were going 55 mph the other day. I thought she would go around it, but she said there were cars on both sides of us and she couldn't move so... Bam. That was fun. Luckily it just got stuck in the front and we dragged it a good hundred feet before pulling over, pulling it out, and continuing on our way. Oh and that night, we were on a missionary zoom meeting while we were driving to the church building and Sister Weston thought we were on mute. She said as we pulled in (without needing GoogleMaps) "I made it all by myself!!" and the meeting got super quiet. Hahaha! Oh fun times with Sister Weston... :)
OH and guess where yours truly got to go?? *cue in email title* :O Back in Corona, I saw on Facebook that one of our friends (he was a missionary in our ward a couple years ago) was having his reception in Temecula at the end of August. I thought, "wouldn't that be funny if I got transferred down there? hahaha." Well... ;) I asked President Watson and explained the scenario and he said "absolutely! Thanks for checking!" So Sister Weston (who worked with him in the MTC) and I went to his wedding reception and it was SO FUNNY! A missionary?? At a wedding reception?! Besides getting some pretty funny looks, it was SUPER fun and so great to see them again!! Our bishop in the YSA ward is best friends with their family so he was there too. It's a small world, y'all. And how many missionaries can say they got permission to go to their friend's wedding reception on their mission? Hahaha! It was awesome!! (Also if you ever see missionaries at a wedding reception go say hi. Believe me. They feel awkward.) ;)
We had interviews with our mission president this week! Woohoo! His son Chris talked to us about Star Wars while we waited. I learned a lot about Star Wars characters I had no idea about. Thanks Chris! :) We had more training from SLC about social media work too! Every other week now we meet with Church HQ and missions from Alaska-California and talk about social media practices and trainings. It's awesome stuff. This is all definitely guided by the Lord's hand. This is His work! :) We started teaching this girl our age named Sarah and she is so excited to learn more! :) She told her neighbor who's a member and they invited us over on the spot. It was such a miracle!! I'm so excited for her!
Love you all lots! I know that God is aware of you and He is patient with your struggles and mistakes. :) It's okay. Have a wonderful week!! :))
Love, Sister Mary Goss
