Hahahaha I can imagine what that would be like getting a random call from the mission president! But that's cool he called you. In my departing interview he told me that he and the Lord were very proud of me and he felt like he needed to tell my mother that too. So he asked me for your number! He is an amazing man too, the Illinois Chicago mission is in great hands!
So good to hear you guys were able to make it down to president and sister Binghams homecoming. now you understand what I mean when I talk about them. I respect and look up to them so much! They definitely changed my life! I wish I could have been there to hear them speak. But I'm glad you got to meet and talk to them, and that they had good things to say about me lol.
I can't wait to hug you too! Only 3 more weeks. It's hard to believe and it doesn't feel real. There is still work for me to do here. It ain't over till the fat lady sings!;) president Bingham gave me some really good talks about returning home and I know for sure that it won't stop in 3 weeks, but I will be a servant of the Lord for the rest of my life!!
This week was great! Idk if I told you about Leady and Fernando, but they are two kids 11, and 9, and we are preparing them for baptism on August 3rd. They are on track and I'm praying so hard that they stay on track and I get to see them make that covenant with God!! Their family is so awesome, so much fun. We meet with them on Thursdays and Sundays and the mom, Idania, always feeds us the best Dominican republic food. I'm excited to tell you all about how we found them when I get home. It's such a cool story! The Lord definitely has his hand in this work, Mom. I know that he lives!
Brother Filio is taking us downtown for our preparation day so it should be a good time. I love you and miss you guys lots!
