So I'm serving in
Riverside now and I absolutely love it. I'm companions with Hermana Gomez
and I love her so much! We get along super well and she's such a hard worker.
Having such an awesome companion has made being here so much more fun.
And it's super
fun serving in the city of Riverside! For all of my mission I've been in pretty
small towns, so I am loving the city! The feel of it is just so vibrant and
cultural. I think I'm a city girl at heart.
And I've heard so many
good things about this area, so I'm excited to be here. I've never felt so
sure that this is where I'm supposed to be at this time, which is a good
feeling.
The work is going
pretty well. We're working on finding solid investigators, but we have one,
Miguel, who is pretty cool! He accepted a baptismal date for the end of May so
we're hoping to be able to help him progress towards that.
Today I've been
celebrating turning 21! Woot woot! It's been a really awesome day.
Probably one of my favorite birthdays. We went and hiked Mt.Roubidoux
(not sure how you spell it) with the elders in our zone this morning at like 7
am. We all met at their apartment complex and before we left they brought
out a cake with candles on it and sang to me, which was really nice.
The hike was awesome
and there was a great view of Riverside from the top. I'll have to send
pictures next week. Then we played a little bit of kickball afterwards.
When we got home, the
sisters that we live with had decorated our apartment for me. It looks
like we're about to have a fiesta (with pin the tale of the donkey and
everything!). Then we went out to Cheesecake Factory with all the hermanas
who are serving around here (including Hna.Juarez and Hna.Carlson, two
of my past companions).
So so far it's been a
pretty awesome day! And a pretty awesome week!
I'm happy to be here. I love being on a mission. And I'm so stoked
for Spencer, who's about to enter the MTC in a couple days. What an
awesome missionary he's going to be! I
love you all so much. I love this work. I love this gospel. I
love the Lord. Cuidense.
Les quiero mucho,
Hermana Horne
