Dios les bendiga

Holaaaaa

Okok, so these last few weeks have been great. I had a really cool experience with our recent convert Reina. She told us about how she attended some other meeting via Zoom in another ward. So I asked which ward it was and she said, "LA 6th."  I told her how that was my first area, and she asked me if I knew Emely Muñoz.  I was like, "YES. She was my first baptism in my mission." Then Reina proceeded to tell me that Emely is her niece! I was so shook.  I showed Reina the pictures from the baptism.  While I was sliding through the pics, I noticed I had taken a picture with Reina!!!!! It was so crazy. A year ago, I baptized her niece.  Then a year later, I baptized Reina in a completely different area and had no idea they were related. It was so crazy. Reina wants me to come over when Emely is at her house and we are going to have a little reunion haha.

Another story about Reina.  It was her birthday last week. So we took her some balloons, a stuffed unicorn (she loves stuffed animals), and some cookies.  We got permission to eat with her!!!! She had bought herself a cake and we sang happy birthday to her.  While we were singing, she began to cry and told us how she hasn't eaten cake with anyone since her wedding ... most of her family still lives in Honduras. She is absolutely amazing. She named her stuffed unicorn Weeeenie (she has a hard time saying the "g") after me. Hahahahaha she's so cute. She also helps us out so much with missionary work. She has such a strong testimony and really wants everyone to hear the word of God.

We had some really good lessons with our friend, Ana Maira, she is sososo cute. She calls us everyday to make sure we're doing alright. She wants to be baptized, but we have to figure a few things out before then.  She is amazing!!!!!

Last but not least, we have our friend, Joseph, he's awesome. Literally every time we call him he says the same thing: "Hola buenas noches Dios les bendiga siempre" ("Hello, good night.  God bless you always") jajaja.  It never gets old. He loves to learn about the Gospel. It's so cool to see people change though the love of Christ.

Our roommates are so fun. One is from Fiji and the other is from American Samoa. I love them so much. #grateful

Love you all!!! Have a wonderful week! Stay safe!!!

Love,
Hermana Weenig

Staying in Inglewood

Hi Y'all,

It's crazy that this transfer is already over!!! I'm staying in Inglewood!!!! I'm super excited because I love all the people we are teaching here and the members are amazing. Reina is my favorite person, she's so pumped to help us with missionary work! She is such a blessing to this world.  I'm sooooooo grateful to have met her. 

Our other friend, Ana Maria, is so cute. She always calls us to check on how we are doing. We had a really good lesson with her this past week.  After, she said that she had had a lot of doubts before the lesson, but now all her doubts are gone. Super cool! 

We were able to furnish our apartment with some used couches, which was much needed.

Anyway, all is well! 
Love y'all.  Stay safe! 

Love, 
Hermana Weenig
