Bit by a Bird

Hello everyone! I am so excited to email today! This last week was crazy! A lot of things happened! First we found a lady who's name is amber. She has two boys and lives in a small secluded house in the middle of old town Placentia. We found her house 3 weeks ago and she told us to come back. So we did and found her at home! She invited us in!!! That never happens here. So we were like super excited. She talked with us and the spirit was so strong. She really understood the restoration and we asked her what she was feeling as she talked with us. She said what we were saying was filling a hole in her heart. So we are still working with her. Our appointments fell through last Saturday and Sunday but we are hoping to see her soon and teach her more because she has the most potential we've seen anyone have so far. 

Then we went on exchanges with the hermanas! This is where my title comes in to play. We went to a hispanic family for dinner and they had a bird named polly. He was the meanest old man bird ever. He bit me like 5 times hahaha. I was laughing so hard even though it hurt. She also fed us whole fish with the head and everything. I ate the eyes and tongue so that's cool. 

Last week we got to have a special assignment assigned to us! Sister pressler and I will both be training a new sister coming Tomorrow! We will be a trio! Woohoo! It'll be fun. 

Well I love you all! This church is absolutely true. We should always be looking for this gospel to fill our hearts and mend the holes in our souls. The book of Mormon is truly the word of god. I love it so much. As I read from it my heart burns and I know what it says is true. This gospel is the best! I absolutely love being a missionary. It's the greatest feeling to be a representative of christ. Christ is our savior. He loves us all so much! Have a good week!
