So, you would think by my title that I am so excited to come home...and you'd be wrong :) I am excited to come home, but I am still working as hard as I can here in Tracy. There is still work to be done and I know that the Lord has a reason for me to be here :) I don't believe in "end-of-mission" surges...I am just going to keep working as hard as I have been my whole mission.
Last night I did something that I have never done (but have come dangerously close to doing) before...I ate so much that I legit threw up. I just couldn't keep it all in...we had to call it a night early because I was out of commission...if the missionaries ever say no thank you to food, believe them.
This week was a lot of tracting. We have knocked on a TON of doors. You meet the most interesting people that way :) We found this lady named Karina and she is super cool. We started to teach her the Restoration and her friend randomly walked in and we were able to teach them both. They both really want to read the Book of Mormon! She is super Catholic, but she really liked the message, so we will see what happens.
We are also teaching this lady named Maria.She let us in her house right off of the bat. She is 23 and was super receptive. She kept saying the entire time that it just made so much sense about the prophet and why there are so many churches. We told her about the Book of Mormon and she was so excited to read it! She asked for an English copy, but also asked us to leave her the Spanish one so that she can read it with her parents. We have a lesson with her tomorrow, but we may not be able to keep it. We were visiting her neighbor last night and we went to leave and then a cop car, ambulance, and fire truck showed up. Well, we weren't about to just leave the place. We sat there for a minute and then Maria walked out of the house behind a stretcher with a little boy on it. It freaked us both out a little bit. Please pray for her and her son.
Well, I love you all so much and I look forward to seeing your beautiful faces in a couple of weeks! Keep the faith!
Love always, Hermana Freestone
