We had quite an interesting week this week! I think the highlight was calling the police on our neighbors at 3 in the morning, but we had some other good experiences too.
There is a woman named Berta who lives with her three young daughters in one of the Marshallese apartment complexes. We don't see her very often, but when we do we always invite her to church. Every time we invite her she shows up. We haven't been able to teach her a lesson yet because she is rarely home and when she is she is busy with her 2 month old baby, but this week we suggested she come to the english church meeting instead of the marshallese (because she is Mexican) and she came! She stayed for the whole three hours and her daughters went to primary and loved it. As soon as she walked in, Sister Kirk, another Spanish speaking member, immediately sat next to her and started getting to know her. It was so cool to see the branch welcome her in.
We have a really busy week coming up, which we are really excited for. Wednesday is zone conference, Friday we're having a branch social that we've committed a bunch of Marshallese people to come to, and Saturday is the branch temple trip which we will hopefully get to go to if Emy decides she wants to go.
Sorry this email is so short! We are gathering information on our family history for zone conference, so I had to spend most of my computer time writing down information. I promise to write a longer email next week.
