Hermana Thetford and the Investigator

Morgan has been in the CCM for two weeks! It seems crazy to me that she's already been gone for that long. We miss her around here!

So, you know how I mentioned in the last post that Hermana Thetford and Hermana Jordan had met with an investigator a few times already? Well, we heard more about their investigator this week in Morgan's email.

Hermana Thetford and Hermana Jordan found out (before they were supposed to) that their investigator was really a teacher there at the CCM. Knowing this, they figured that he (Hermano Sanchez) didn't speak much English, and continued to teach their discussions with intermittent whispering to each other as they decided what to say or do next. But when they had him as a teacher, they found out that Hermano Sanchez served his mission in the United States and spoke English fluently! They were embarrassed because they realized that Hermano Sanchez could understand everything they were whispering, and probably laughed at them afterward! I doubt that he laughed at them and the things that Hermana Jordan and Hermana Thetford were saying to each other. But I have no doubt that he enjoyed understanding what they were saying when they didn't think he could!

Morgan got to play the piano in sacrament meeting this last Sunday, and she really enjoyed being able to use her talents while in Mexico. Her branch president asks each missionary to write a five-minute talk on a topic, and in the meeting each week he calls on random people to get up and share their talk. Morgan didn't get called on last week, but she heard that every person gets called on at least once to speak! It'll be fun to hear how it goes when Morgan gets asked to speak.

Our little hermana only has 26 days left in the CCM! Time has been going by for her in a weird way while she's there. The days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days. She is still loving every minute!

We love you Hermana Thetford!
