I am now in Lemoore!! Lemoore is super cute! It's this little town that reminds me a lot of Los Banos! Ha ha, it's great! I'm really excited to be here! I'm working in an English ward...I forgot what it's like to serve in an English ward. It's not just getting used to a new area but getting used to a different culture again. I haven't had rice in beans since I've been here so that's fun! Ha ha!
The water here is disgusting!! When I was my hands, I can never tell if I actually got all the soap off...the water is slimy! Same thing when I wash my hair...I can never tell if I really got everything or not...The toilet water looks gross too...it looks green! Ha, it's great! It'll take some getting used to but it's fine!
My new companion is Sister Corbridge. I didn't really know who she was, but then an elder in Fresno told me she was from Pleasant Grove, Utah. Then all the sudden the name started ringing a bell. She totally went to Oak Canyon! I remember that she was friends with Kelly! So it's been really fun being with her! We have remembered teachers from Jr. High and just really getting to know each other! So that's been great! I know that we'll work together.
Being here in Lemoore is also a little different because they have a Navy Base here. So a lot of the ward members move in and out.
We have a handful of investigators right now...I haven't quite met them all...I think I've only met about 3 or 4 but we have an appointment with one tonight, so we'll see how that goes! I'm really excited to work in this area! I know that I will learn a lot from it! I'll learn a lot from Sister Corbridge too.
Let's see...I can't really remember all that we did this week! Tuesday, we went to the Farewell ( I was still in Fresno). There were soo many missionaries leaving! I think about 27 missionaries left, so the farewell was packed! I got to see Elder Davis...Dakota now...and Elder Kulbeth...Sam...They both served here in Merced while I was there, so that was fun to see them! We got home at about 10:20 that night because we had to move some Sister's luggage that was going home. When we got home after, I still had to pack...that was rough! The next day we woke up and I went off to Handford! Ever since...things have kind of been a blur! It's been a lot of unpacking! But I'm pretty much done!
I know that this church is true. I know that we truly are doing
the Lord's work. Christ will come soon and He needs His children to be
ready. We need to help others find the happiness that they are looking
for. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I know that God really
truly does love us. There really is no other thing I would rather be
doing. I wake up every morning feeling like I didn't get enough sleep but I remember that I am serving because I love the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my motivation. I want to return to live with Him and I want all
those that I love to return to live with Him too. I know this church is
true. This gospel is the only thing that brings us true happiness.
Love,
Love,
Hermana Ramos-Escobar
