HOLA
HOLA HOLA FAMILIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How
are things in good old Brigham City?? Warming
up?? Because it sure is here! It was crazy - we came home one day this week
and I realized wow, I didn't use my coat all day long! IT`S A MIRACLE ;) hahaha I am a fan of the warm weather so all is good!
Happy late valentine’s day last Friday
and happy presidents day?? What - I
totally forgot that one!
That`s
exciting that more and more mission calls are coming along and that really the
work of salvation is increasing every single day. It truly is such an exciting time to be a live
and be a member of the church!
This
week was a crazy one! Unlike any week we
have had in the mission! On Wednesday
night the zone leaders called me and told me that Hermana Jacobo and I needed
to get on the bus to go to Juarez tomorrow, in the morning, for a meeting for new trainers in the mission! Yup
- you heard that right; I am actually going to train a new missionary.... No comment! ;) I am just a little bit nervous because I feel
like I don`t know anything because I just finished my training, but I am so
grateful for the opportunity, and I know that the Lord will provide a way! :)
:) :) So anyway, we left for Juarez in
the morning on a 4 and a half hour bus ride! Let me just say that Juarez is a completely
different world.... WOW There are so many cars and people and
buildings and noise!!!!!!! At first I
was a little freaked out; I am used to my cute little Casas Grandes! But it was fun to be in a different place. We stayed with some Hermanas that are there
and then Friday in the morning I had my capacitation with all of the trainers
in all of the mission! It was such a
great opportunity and I learned SOOOOOO much! Now let`s just hope I can put it into action!
;) hahahaha I need all the prayers you
can give please!!!! hahahaha After the
meeting we worked in one of Hermana Jacobo`s old areas and visited a lot of her
old converts and members. Then on
Saturday there was a meeting for all of the zone leaders in the mission and
Hermana Jacobo (because she is the sister training leader), so I went to that
meeting all day Saturday also, and then we came back to casas late late late
saturday night! So pretty much my week was spent, for the most part, in
Juarez! (A little different than usual) but it was exciting and full of
learning!
So
yes... there are cambios (transfers) this week and yes, Hermana Jacobo is
leaving to Dublan (a little city pretty close to Casas Grande) and a new
missionary from Honduras is coming to be in my area with me!!!! I haven`t met her yet and I know nothing about
her except that she is 24 and from Honduras! I am SO
EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!! :):):) She will
get here tonight!
So
that is pretty much it! It was a good
week!
OHHHHHHHHH
- But I want to tell you about a family that we met earlier this week called
the family Torres! They are both pretty young and work for the
law or something, and they have 2 little kids that are adorable. They are Catholic, just like every other
person in Mexico, but really aren`t religious and never have been. They were a reference given to us and we have
been trying to contact them for a long time and finally found them! The first lesson with them started out a
little shaky and they, at the beginning, weren`t really interested but as the
lesson went on something changed inside of them and they began to be a little
more attentive and interested. By the
end of the lesson the husband stopped us and said, “I think that I need this in
my life! I have never let anyone in my house to talk about religion or anything
and for some reason, I let you sisters in... This isn`t a coincidence!” AMAZING HUH?????? When he said this, the spirit testified to me
once again how incredible this message is! IT IS
TRUE!!!! And it is incredible to see
the miracles! And to feel the power of
the Gospel in the lives of others!!
I
hope everyone is reading and praying and going to church - if not.... I will
hunt you down when I get back!!!! ;) I
love you so very much and I am so grateful to be here on a mission serving my
Savior and growing with His help! This
is the true church; I know it with all my soul! Take advantage of the teaching experiences you
receive! There is no greater joy than
preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ!
CON
AMOR!!!
Hermana
