But to start it off, Friday night after work I went to go teach a lesson with the sister missionaries (which I had TOTALLY forgot about till my lunch break that day) I was sooo exhausted after work, but it was definitely worth it! The Spirit was so strong and I even got to speak a couple times! Well, the first time I spoke was because one of the sisters invited me to bare my testimony about a time I felt the Spirit. Afterwards, we got to go meet with a member who wasn't able to come to church because of transportation issues. (A lot of members that come to the Chinese branch at the Oakland temple commute from all over, like my parents. It's a 30 min drive, but after living in Hawaii that's nothing bahaha) But seriously, he was the cutest old man and he even remembered me from a year ago! I'm glad I got to go since sister missionaries can't visit members of the opposite gender without an accompanying member of the same gender. After they dropped me off at bart, I was tired but soo happy at the same time.
I got home and me and my mom cleaned the house in like 2 hours, faster than our normal six months haha why? Because my boyfriend and his bro and friend were coming!!!! Why?! Because I was going through the temple on Saturday morning! So he had to work until 10pm Friday night and they left Reno at about 12, so they called me at about 3:30am so I let them in and went back to bed haha
Saturday morning, woke up and didn't even put makeup on because boyfriend over here said I might cry during the end of my session. (I didn't -____-) But we went through the temple and I learned something about my dear mother, who was my escort through. She really doesn't know how to be reverent and whisper lol but my sister in law, my dad, my bf, his bro Toni and our friend Soni all came through the temple with me :) I'm glad I got to share this experience with my loved ones! Afterwards, we went to this buffet my family loves going to. And afterwards, the Reno boys told me that this place was super good and the buffet that they always go to in Reno is like dookie compared to this place and all me and my family could do was laugh! Then we all went our separate ways, my brother, his wife and my parents went to go grocery shopping around Chinatown and me and the Reno boys went to drop me off and so they could change and nap. But I followed along so my babes could change and then come back to my house and hang out with my parentssss. So we were on the couch; him watching football and me with my head on his lap doing hw on the iPad and just hanging out. It was awesome.
Then we got picked up by the two other boys and went down to San Jose to see their girls haha we went to Christmas in the Parks and it was raining but right as I got my jacket, it stopped. Of course -___- then we all met up with my parents and bro and his wife to eat pho but we kinda went late so like 10 after we got there they left haha
Sunday - they were supposed to come to church, but I got a text a 7am that their dad called and their rental was supposedly due at 1pm so they were going to leave right away. So they were going to come and say bye. I fall back asleep and an hour later he calls and is like "mmmm what're you doing?" and then goes on to explain that the rental isn't due till 11:30pm so he was like lets go eatttt. We get in the car and its POURRRRRING we went on the freeway (last min, after I told them to go to SJ so they could take their girls to eat too) and the boys so a car flipped over with someone either crawling out of the car or crawling in to get someone out. That's so scary! But there was a flash flood warning and the sidewalks were flooded! But we went to Ihop and ate sooooo much! We hung out at the bro's gf's house for a bit then they came to my house and watched football and I cooked dinner so they ate and then left. But before they left, my mom shared some gospel related stuff with them and the Spirit again was so strong. She broke down some barriers with some of boys :) But then they left and I watched Christmas devotional and it was awesome!
All in all, this weekend was awesome and went by super fast. And it's so totally real with my boyfriend. (which is still really weird for me to say.. "boyfriend" ahahahahahahaha)
