Familia y Amigos!
Ok the time here is going by so fast I can`t
even believe it! Another week has already gone by! One more week of my first
transfer! What?! But it was an awesome week for sure! We have been working
really hard to find people to teach and are seeing many miracles. The members
are awesome and are helping out a ton and we ended up having 7 of our
investigators come to church yesterday!!! So stressful, but so awesome. :) We
also have an investigator who told us this week she wants to be baptized! 2
weeks ago we couldn`t get her to take our lessons seriously and she told us we
could baptize her in 10 years and now she is praying about a baptismal
date...miracles!! :) The Lord can soften and change hearts faster and better
than anyone else I know ;) Please pray for her, Dinna Gonzales. We also have
some other investigators whom we have a lot of hope in! Please pray for Silvia,
Rosio, Justina, Beatty, Natalie, and Celinda. Also Raul, Lina, and Paula who
are menos activos we are working with right now.
And to make the week even better we got to go
to a baptism yesterday!!! We have Elders, the APs, who are serving in our ward
too and a lady they have been teaching got baptized yesterday. It was so
amazing to hear her testimony and feel the spirit there. She`s only been taking
the lessons for 1 month, she is definitely golden! I can`t wait to see the
people we are teaching in her place soon enough!!
We`ve also been studying a lot about the Book
of Mormon this week and the power it has in conversion. It is amazing how
reading the BOM can bring the spirit so strongly and testify to the hearts and
minds of the reader that it`s true. It is the keystone of our religion and our
greatest tool in conversion. Challenge for the week: Read the BOM every day and
pray to know how to better study it and apply the teachings in your life. I
have started to improve my study and have felt the difference of the spirit
throughout my day. I LOVE THE BOM!!! :)
Overall, a really great week and another great
one to come, I can feel it! My Spanish is improving like crazy, the gift of tongues
is so real!!! And I am feeling so much more confident and loving every day more
and more. I`ve gotten through the hardest month and now I feel like I am
finally becoming the missionary the Lord wants me to be. :) Being a missionary
is the best!!!
Love you all! Have a great week!! Read the
BOM, pray always, look for the miracles in everyday life, and learn how to love
the gospel more and more every day. :) Lots of love!
