Macey Gates: Sister Macey Gates // Week Twenty-Five

This week was one of the most amazing weeks ever. Last monday i dyed my hair, the other sisters were at the store and i told them to just pick out some color for me, talk about TRUST, nahhh i knew it would be fine and then Sis Nelson dyed my hair:) its a little darker but its cute! So Edgar bought his own set of scriptures at the CTR store and loves to mark every scripture we share with him. One day we were teaching him and my scriptures just open to this page and i felt prompted to read a certain verse, i read it in my head, had no clue what it said but i knew i needed to read it. Edgar and Santoyo were in shock haha i thought it was totally off subject, and im like i know this is true, like you just make it up right? It was Alma 42:29. I know God loves us so much and we are guided by the spirit. It was the coolest experience for me. For the transfer we only switched zones, its exciting! Our investigator Antonio, he is in a wheelchair, he works out in his yard every single day! He wants to get baptized so bad. He knows everything is true, and everyday he always asks if we are going to forget him when we go to church and we always say we will be by to get him:) Yesterday we went to pick him up and he had his change of clothes packed already for his baptism in 2 weeks. He is the cutest thing ever. We will have a baptism on Easters, Shelsea is getting baptized! My first baptism will be on easters:) Im really excited! So one day we went to visit some less active members and we found this little old lady. She would barely open the door, but we asked if we could share a blessing with her. So she let us, still with the door barely open, then after the prayer it completely changed her. She came outside and talked with us for 45 min! My favorite part was kneeling by her side, showing her a picture of jesus and telling her how much he loves her. I love these people here with all my heart. We found 2 girls, Vianey and ali, they are so elect, we put them on date, and they said they are moving before that...... It made me so sad so we are praying something happens so they can be baptized. We teach them in english, santoyo hates it hahah but its been cool helping Santoyo change her attitude completely about learning english. I love that girl with my whole heart. We went to visit Adolfo and Rafa recent converts/less actives and i felt prompted to ask them if they could come be fellowshippers, even tho it was the craziest question, but it changed their attitude and said they would come to church too. Santoyo thought i was crazy but it worked:) Saturday someone called Santoyo ghetto and it made her feel so bad. I dont know what to say in those type of situations haha so i just call her Hermana Ghetto now. hahaha We visited Isidra this week! The one that always says "es cierto" hahah and i asked her "Isidras, este es cierto verdad?" y ella me dijo " Si es cierto" HAHAHAH its seriously kills me but she was so excited to see us! We went to Jamba Juice with the Ramirez fam, it was super fun! We had a noche de talentos with our ward and an easter party so that was super fun! One night during oyms, this little girl gave me her change hahhaha and im like no you keep it, the moms like just take it, she's doing a good deed... i'm just like OKAY! so i earned 31 cents this week haha. Yesterday for dinner i had Pig freakin sicky skin. Yep. I really just enjoyed that ya know, what a great experience. Yesterday in church it was all about temples and families, I love my family so much and it made me miss all of you! SO MUCH!! Im grateful i have a forever family. I love you all so much and you are always in my prayers. I hope you have a great week okay?:)

Love Hermania GEEETES:)
