20 New Moms ;)
Oh
my goodness!!! Kiela is almost leaving
for the mission! What is going on?? She just got her call!!!! I am so excited for her and well, for
everyone; the mission is the best thing ever!!!!!!!!!! Make sure all "my girls" know how much I miss
them!! And that they are looking
great!!! It is crazy that things are
moving around so quickly back at home! Nothing
is happening, but everything is happening too! hahahaha
This
week was a lot better!!!! (If they keep getting better I am never going to come
home.) hahaha We are working better with
the ward, and it really is going to show here in a few weeks - I know it! The Lord always completes with his promises
and I know that in his timing we are going to see progress in this area!!!
1. Did you get a new apartment with this your
transfer?
We have a new little
house! And it is super nice!!!! We are pretty much in heaven; our bathroom is
like amazing!!! hahahaha
2. Is you comp a fun girl or serious?
My companion is great but really different than
me; she is really quiet but happy! Sometimes
I feel I need to shut up and let her talk more, but we are working it out :)
hahaha YOU JUST CAN’T GET ME TO BE
QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha
3. How
are the referrals going, any new prospects?
SEE BOTTOM!!!!!!!!!!
4. Do
you have a new Mom in your new area?
I HAVE ABOUT 20 new moms that help so much. This whole entire ward is just the kindest and
happiest. I am really happy to be here. I wish we could see some more success with our
investigators, but the Lord will complir! Sabemos que si :)
Quick story:
So yesterday we went to church and well
nobody came once again. To be honest we
were really disappointed and felt like we had failed because we had worked so
hard this week. But anyways, we left to
work and to try with everything we had. We
were praying in our hearts with everything we had, (to be honest, I was almost
at the point of tears..) We FELT
HELPLESS! But we passed by the house of
one of our old references. And it was a
miracle - she was there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was just getting home as we knocked on her
door! (YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN OUR SMILES
WHEN WE SAW HER) She wants to learn - she
wants to come to church - she is so excited to fill the gap in her life. MIRACLES HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!! And the Lord knows what we need and when we
need it! Sometimes we have to feel weak
and helpless so that we will enjoy the blessings more!!!!!
I
KNOW THE LORD LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS OUR EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you all; have a great week! I’m off to play
SOCCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Giving sign
New Area & New Companion :)
How are we
doing this week, fam fam??? The sun is
shining here and sounds like it is there.
It is starting the hot season so pretty much all my sweaters are in my
suitcases and aren´t going to come out until.... well, probably October! WEIRD HUH!!!!!!! But I am getting tan and everyday I am looking
and sounding more like a MEXICAN!!!!!!!! :) one day maybe... hahaha
Like everyone
knows we are in a new area; it actually is right next to Estacion (my old area). We go to the same capilla and everything, but
this area is a lot different. There
aren´t hardly anyone in the streets and hardly any stores either. But I am close to home and I see a lot of
familiar faces! Even though we are close,
we hardly ever know where we are at.... We
are learning the streets and trying to find houses. But why not right?? It´s part of the mission of being lost ;)
hahaha We started at pretty mucho zero. Our area book didn’t have anything in it! NOTHING! hahaha But we are finding and knocking a little
(don´t tell) and soon enough we will be pros!! hahaha
My new
companion is from Guatemala!!! (yup another Guatamalteca) haha Her name is Hermana Estrada, and she
is great! She just started her mission,
but she is an expert! She is a little
quite and really patient. (pretty much the opposite of me! ) hahaha I’m
just kidding! Haha But we get along
really well and are happy to be companions. I think I have become crazier from being her
companion, because she is so calm and quite! (someone’s got to be the crazy one
right??) hahaha
The ward here
is really great! We have 4 missionaries
in this ward! (2 Elders and us) It is
something new to get use to, but I like it! Sometimes I wish I was an elder and could wear
pants!!! (hahahahaha) But there is a lot
of work in our area, and our ward is really involved in the Work! It is incredible and such a blessing!
So yup....
that is my week!!! IT HAS BEEN SO
HARD!!!!!!!!!!! But great :) There is nothing like seeing the miracles of
the Lord, it makes everything worth it! The
Savior knows how it feels to be in a brand new area and be lost always ;)
hahaha I am growing and enjoying and
smiling always!!!!!!!! :)
I love you
and you are always in my prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great SKYPE Yesterday
Are
you missing me yet?? Hahahahaha It was SOOOOO good to see you yesterday!
The funny thing was, at first when I was talking to you I had no idea
where you were in our house! Like I
couldn´t imagine it! WEIRD!!! hahaha But it was good to hear your voices and make
sure everything is going good! The
familia Carballo wanted to make sure
you know that I am doing great and they are taking care of me :) They really are amazing and such a miracle! It was great that you got to meet them... They were so excited to see you and try and
talk to you.
First
off let me tell you something I didn´t have enough time to yesterday! I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER
DONE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea
how much I appreciate your examples and your help! I never wonder if you are there or if you love
me; I know without a doubt in my mind you guys are always there. I wish I could explain how much I love you and
care about you. I know it is so hard to
be far away from each other, but can´t you just see all the miracles the Lord
is working in our lives! He is the
reason we are happy and progressing, we HAVE TO go through hard times or we
will never progress. This is part of His
perfect plan He has for us! There isn´t
a doubt in my mind that I was put in our family for a reason; I know the Lord
knows EXACTLY what we need and when we need it!
I
don´t have much to say because, well... we talked yesterday... but I am getting
a new companion tomorrow! Today Hermana
Soto and I are going to Juarez to pick them up and then we will return in the
morning! Her name is Estrada! We will be in the area “Libertad”! Libertad is right next to Estacion!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am close!!! I am a little nervous to be in a brand new
area, but I am mostly excited!! The Lord
trusts me (scary but true). He only puts
us to the things we can handle!!!
I
love you family! YOU ARE
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Con
todo el amor en mi corazon...
