Living & Chilling

Hey Y'all,

Another week in quarantine! Super exciting! We were able to visit the temple grounds and to go on a hike. #grateful.  It was so nice to be able to take a break from the apartment for a bit, while making sure we keep those face masks on.

We were also able to let Gloria take a tour of the L.A. temple visitor's center via technology.  With a three-way zoom call (Visitor's Center sisters, Gloria and us).  She loved it!

This last week I studied a lot about faith, and we really do need to have faith in all things, without faith we can't progress. It's the first step to get closer to Jesucristo :) (Jesus Christ).  One scripture I love in the Book of Mormon is Alma 32:21 "And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith, ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." 

Love y'all! Stay safe!

Love,

Jumping for joy with Sister Westcott because we were able to go on a hike (more like a nice stroll).

Hi Y'all,

Another great week in quarantine and the Lord's work continues.  We have been working with the members of our ward (via technology) to find people to teach and this week we were able to find two new people.  It is really hard to find people to teach when we can't leave our apartment, but the members have been amazing.  Also, we were told this week that we may be in quarantine through the summer. :(  LA has been hit really hard. 

This week while we were teaching Gloria and her family, we found out that she was short on money and they didn't have food in their fridge.  When the quarantine started, we were told to get a two week supply of food in case we were not able to get food.  We were prompted to take that supply to her and we left it on her doorstep along with some cookies and ran.  She was embarrassed about it, but was very grateful.

This past week Hermano Flores, a member in our ward, past away from corona. His wife, Luz, is the one we've been teaching my whole mission, so it was really sad to hear about it. He was always super nice and a great example and I know he'll continue to be an example to those on the other side. 

God has a beautiful plan for us, at times it can be super difficult, but he only gives you trials that he knows we can conquer.

Love you all! Keep being the best! Stay safe!

Love,
Hermana Weenig <3 

Ready to doorbell ditch some food.

Pizza delivered by a former missionary from LA that served in the same mission as by brother, Hayden.
 So thoughtful!

I LOVE MY MOM

Hi Y'all,

I hope everyone spent some good time with their mamas for mother's day. I'm sososo grateful for my mom! She's such a blessing and I love her so much. LOVE YOU MOM!

This week was the same ol' same ol'. It's hard to be in quarantine, but we can leave to exercise in the morning and we can take an afternoon walk.  Best of all, the Lord's work progresses no matter how hard Satan tries to stop it. However, we found out we have to push our baptisms back another three weeks because here in downtown LA, Corona is still super bad. But all is well.

Have a great week!

Love you! Be safe!

Transfer 5

Hi Y'all,

Okayyy, so our president said that we could drive to the temple and take a walk if we wanted to get out of our apartment.  So of course, we drove to the temple.  When we got there, the security guard said we couldn't come in and that President was mistaken. So we parked out side of the temple grounds and walked outside the gates haha.  When we were way on the other side of the temple grounds, President called us and asked what happened, and when we told him, he was like "Okay, come around back and all let you in, I'll wait for you guys".  We started running to meet him because we didn't want to keep him waiting, and keep in mind it's super hot right now in California and we are running our little hearts out in dresses and sandals. When we finally got to President, he took us to the mission house where his wife had fruit, crackers and water for us. We were literally dripping in sweat when we got there. But they just talked to us for a little bit to see how we were doing (of course, keeping social distancing) and then we had to leave to get back because we had a lesson. President Cordón y Hermanita Cordón are literally the best. They take great care of all of us. Feeling super grateful. 

Gloria, Junior, Marvin and Isabella are doing great. They are my favorite people to teach. Isabella and Marvin always fight over who gets to say the prayers. They are the best people and I'm so grateful to be able to teach them<3

We also had a talent show as a zone via zoom and we went full out for it. It was super fun. I love my zone! 

It's the beginning of my 5th transfer! And I'm staying in my area with the best companion ever! Hermanita Ramírez!!!!!!!! I'm super excited. She tried her first pop tart and her first hi-chew. Her dream is coming true -- she's becoming a gringa. Jaja 

Love y'all, stay safe 

Love,

Hermana Weenig

Camping in L.A.

Hi Y'all,

This week was good! Another week of serving the Lord! We set a baptismal date with our friend Owen. Which was pretty cool, because we've been working with him since my first transfer and we have been able to really see his progress. So grateful to be able to teach these people! 

Also, one night this past week, Hermana Ramírez and I slept on our mattresses out on our balcony. It's the closest thing we get to camping. 

All is well! God loves y'all and I love y'all 

Stay safe y healthy ;)

Love, 

Hermana Weenig

Gloria, Junior & Marvin

Hi Y'all,

Just living the quarantine life here in L.A.  The mayor has extended the quarantine through May 15. :(  Hope you all are well.

We continue to find and teach online.  Great news!  Gloria, Junior and Marvin are all getting baptized!!!! We set a date with them on Tuesday. They will be baptized in May, after Marvin turns eight.  They are possibly the cutest family.  Isabelle said "I wanna be baptized, I just turned six. Can I?!" Possibly the cutest little girl. It's been super cool seeing their progress and how much they have grown. I love them and I'm so excited for them.

All is well :) Love y'all, stay safe. 

Love, 

Hermana Weenig
