Hermana Dimond Takes Florida: CATZ

FAM!!!!! what the heck? It is so weird even writing an email this week because I just got to talk to ya yesterday! AND THAT WAS THE BEST THING EVER!!! Wow I just loved seeing your cute faces. You truly make me just want to be better and work harder.

But as well, I hope all my cute mamas had a wonderful Mothers Day yesterday! (:

This week was UNREAL. So many fun things happened, it really was just a bumpin week.

A few highlights:

-I HIT HALF WAY. EW! What the heck? Time is just going by so fast. Time is just the weirdest thing. I don't even know how many times I say that sentence in a day.

-Sister Bingham and I locked our keys in our car this week. Yep. What's new? At least we did it in the church parking lot. So we were stranded for the night without a car, because Elder Seipert, the vehicle coordinator, couldn't drive all the way up here until the next morning to break into it. He is such a good man. Literally the most tender soul. Hahah! You could tell he was just like "you girls are so dumb," but he's so kind he would never say anything.

-We are still teaching Lourdes, Veronica's daughter, and she is getting baptized on SATURDAY!!!!! She is seriously just one of my best friends. The most elect 16 year old ever!!!! Well just an experience that I want to share real quickly. Probably one of my favorite experiences ever. We go over and are teaching her the Plan of Salvation right? And she just understands everything, for some reason, everything just clicks for her. But we get to the three Kingdoms of Glory, and all the sudden her pregnant cat starts crying. We look around to try and find her, and low an behold, the cats stinking water broke. HAHA, we start freaking out because the cats just running around leaking everywhere, then her huge dog is trying to attack the cat, so Sister Bingham and I are trying to control the dog and also use Siri to find out "what to do when a cat is giving birth,” but we literally cannot use technology anymore so we were useless. Hahah, it was probably the funniest five minutes. I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall. Any who, after much commotion, we watched her cat give birth to four little baby kittens. Oh presh. Hahha hands down the best Plan of Salvation I have ever been apart of. (the lesson.. TBC) But Lourdes is the best. She tells us every time we go over, all the people that she is talking to about the "Mormon church". She is seriously just being a missionary already, and she is just the biggest example to me. I love her.

-Well we had kind of a crazy week with Linette. It was just a roller roaster of emotions with her. She was supposed to get baptized on Saturday, but due to one problem, she has decided to wait, because she wants to be "completely ready" and show God that she is committing 100%. (This is a Law of Chastity problem that is way too long of a story that I am not even going to go into. But long story short, she is living this commandment, but she just needs to marry her partner back in Puerto Rico legally. She won’t be going back for a few more months, so therefore just a slight setback...) I was so heartbroken at first, as I just KNEW that she needed this right now (okay but lets be real, WHO DOESN'T just need baptism right now? haha), but it honestly has been the most humbling experience. Hearing Linette pretty much bear her testimony to us, and hearing how seriously she is taking this baptism, just made me realize how much stronger of a member she is going to be in the long run. She told me, “I will be baptized, and you will be there. And when I go through the temple, you will be there too." I hope and pray that I am not there for her baptism, even though I would give anything to be, but I just hope she doesn't wait that long. I have really realized from this experience though, that the Lord just has his timing for everything. Linette is trusting in his timing, and I need to trust in his timing and his will more. In her words, "I know the Lord has the paintbrush in his hands, and he is painting me a beautiful picture." She is really just something so special. I have learned so much from her. I cannot even explain the joy when I see sweet Linette enter the Lords house in Puerto Rico. She is SO SPECIAL!!!!!! I am truly changed because I have met Linette. So glad Sister Bingham and I have been together to share these experiences.

Well I had the most special birthday ever. I have never felt so loved in my life. Thank you all so much for your sweet words and emails and letters. I am seriously the luckiest gal in the whole world. A day I will never forget cuz ahhh (never been sung happy birthday by a Mariachi band before) (:

Your all the best! Keep smiling and have the best week!

xoxoxo
