Rollin' in Rowland

Happy Halloween!

Everyone got their costumes ready? Got that over priced candy in a

bowl ready to give out? Wow. What a great time of year. Halloween just

gets me excited for Christmas. Did you know that there are 55 days

until Christmas? I just can't wait.

Alrighty this week- here's a funny story/miracle this week:

One day Sister Briscoe and Sister Plumb were knocking on people's

doors, sharing with them a message that can bring a smile to anyone's

face, and hope into their lives. As they made their way cheerfully to

a door, a friendly, toothless Chinese lady opened the door. They told

her how happy they were to see her, and how much they wanted to share

their message with her, but of course- she did not speak English. So

in Sister Plumb's very pathetic and broken Chinese she said- women shi

chuanjaoshi- we are missionaries. She gave them a very toothless smile

and welcomed us in 😳. NORMALLY THAT APPROACH DOESNT EVEN WORK IN ENGLISH. They were speechless. She told them to sit on the  coach as she went to the other room. After about 15 min of the shocked little sister missionaries sitting on the coach trying to figure out how to

give the first lesson to this lady in Chinese, a young Chinese man

came through the door and yelled back to his mom (in English) "the

missionaries are here!" Turns out....... our friendly Asian lady was a

member and that her and her family were feeding the missionaries

tonight, but they are in a different Ward, so they were feeding

different missionaries! The awkward part is that they are really in

our Ward so that was good laugh for us all, as we all ate pie. The

boy’s mom’s name is Irene and she is going to be helping us with Esther

and her family, with translating gospel terms and fellowshipping. We

were so relieved to find her so that she can help us!

Also I'm saying goodbye to good ol’ Glendora!... hence the title of

this email. I have been transferred to Rowland Heights! Yikes! Getting

that call near close to Halloween. Probably the scariest thing that

has happened this season – haha.

My new companion’s name is Sister Zollinger and she is spectacular!

Can't wait to get Rowland Heights rollin’ along! lol I gotta come up

with a different phrase.

Talk to you next week!
