¡¡hola y'all!!
So sorry I didn't write last week, just trying to keep y'all on your toes, ya know?;) But I hope everyone is doing so well! Orange is actually a dream. We went and walked around downtown today and it's SO CUTE! I love it.
So since we're kind of limited with different ways to talk to people, we had this idea to offer free math lessons on one of the local market pages on Facebook! Since I'm an el-ed major and Hna Jensen is a math major, it was actually so fun. We taught some cute little niños how to multiply big boy numbers, so I'd say it was a success:)
This past Wed was our bff Max's 75th birthday, so we made him a big ole plate of brownies and wrote him a little card and left them on the table in his front yard. Whenever he called us after he found them, he told us he almost cried!! How precious:')) I love that man. We also have been talking to our sweet friend Rosa a lot and she's so funny. Every time we call her she just tells us that right whenever we're allowed to visit people again we have to go to her house so she can feed us, so I am v excited for that.
ALSO just recently I've been asked to be más o menos in charge of our new Facebook page in Orange County (Representantes de Jesucristo en el Condado de Orange), so y'all should go check it out! It's all in Spanish, but maybe learning a new language will make quarantine a little more exciting;)
In some of my studies this week, I got back around to my FAVORITE chapter in the whole Book of Mormon, Alma 26(!) and wow it's such a good one. The whole thing is really just glorifying Jesus and recognizing how amazing and powerful and merciful and loving he really is. My favorite verse is 16, that says, "Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yea, we will rejoice, for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel," and I LOVE that bc I really can't even express to y'all just how grateful I am for the never ending love and light of Christ. This week too I've been learning "Nearer, My God, to Thee" on my ukulele and the lyrics just match this idea so well. He is good and He is kind and I •always• want to be near Him:) (and truth be told, I think He wants to be near us all the time even more)
But hey I love y'all so so much and I'm really truly so grateful for each of you! I hope everyone has an amazing week!
Con amor,
Hermana Brayton:)
