| Sister Vasi and me just being twins |
So much has happened this week! Last Tuesday, we got a
referral from the sisters in my district for this lady named Mirna. So we
stopped by and talked with her. It was so amazing because she was seriously not
interested at all but we told her we would just take like 10 minutes and share
our message and if she was interested, great. If not, no worries. 30 minutes
later we were still there.
She ended up sharing with us that her son had passed
away and it had been so hard on her. She asked us to pray for her family. We
went back and visited her again on Saturday and we felt like we should share
Mosiah 16:8-9 where it talks about how the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ.
8 But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ.
9 He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death.
We had barely sat down and she just started talking about her son and how hard
it had been not having him here with her. I am just so grateful for the Spirit
and that God knows exactly what every individual needs, even if I don't.

We also found this woman named Jacqueline! Hermana
Martindale and I were just driving in our area and we saw this lady on the side
of the street who was pushing a stroller and had a little boy walking next to
her. We've been praying that we will find families and so Hermana Martindale
just whips the car around the corner to the next street, we park, say a prayer
and casually walk up to her like we'd been walking up that street the whole
time. haha. It was a miracle. We talked to her for just like 5 minutes and told
her a little bit about eternal families and she gave us her number and
address.
On Thursday, we got Cali burritos with Junior. I take back
everything that I said. La Paisa is the place to buy Caliburrs. This whole
paragraph will just be about food, I guess. Obispo's (bishop) wife makes the
best enchiladas I have ever had. We had dinner with them on Sunday. They only
speak Spanish so he kept talking to me and I had no idea what was going on. I
just told him that these where the best enchiladas I had ever had so they gave
me 2 plates and I guess he said (I definitely did not understand him say this)
that if they are the best enchiladas, I need to eat 3 plates. Hopefully,
they'll give me another chance. We're eating with them next week again, so I'll
try to not eat the whole day and make Obispo proud.

| Cali Burritos ... OK, I take everything back. They are wonderful! |
I'm so grateful I'm here in San Diego. Even though this week
has been so up and down, I know that this is where I need to be. I'm so
grateful for eternal families and Jesus Christ who makes our burdens
light.
I know that it is true that "There is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no
victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ. He is the light and
the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be
darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more
death."
Love you all so much and I'm so grateful that no matter
what, we're together forever. I promise I'll be there with you on Monday.
Love,
Hermana Helton
This pic is in the Battalion with Sister Baker who
is like
4'10 and weighs 90 lbs. so I look like a giant.
We broke into our district leaders apartment.
It had to be done. They had our key.
Not sure if that's allowed butttt
desperate times call for desperate measures.
Sister Vasi and I have big hips.
Sister Martindale calls people and I take pics.
