Our new ZONE |
Well we didn´t have any baptisms this week but they will be
baptized all together on the 29th, so keep your fingers crossed and
pray! I will talk about investigators in a little bit. So as you
already know I went to the mission home this last week! Haha no it was
really funny I was talking to Hermana Deere about the pictures getting
up on the blog because I have called her like 3 times about it! I was
like Hermana Deere I don´t really care about me getting on the blog it´s
the mother. Haha so the next day she literally finishes taking the
picture of all the District Leaders and sees me running out of the
bathroom and starts laughing and giving me crap! So she took one of my
face all close up! Good times. District Leader Conference was great. I
got to sleep in Elder Manning´s piso with Elder Rhees Jackson and we
slept in a seperate room and we talked for a while I love Elder Jackson.
ME and Elder Jones on the way to DL Conference. We met some Asians that spoke English haha they loved us |
So this week I got your package on Tuesday morning, I had just
missed it when we went to email last week so I had to wait until Tuesday
morning to go pick it up! I love it so much thank you!!! I love the
Book, ha it kinda scares me though, President Kimball makes me feel like
a lot of people are damned or not going to live in the Celestial
Kingdom. As President Clegg say´s and I quote "NOBODY STUMBLES INTO THE
CELESTIAL KINGDOM" or "THERE WILL BE NO ACCIDENTAL SALVATION". Those
are my two favorite quotes along with others. Thanks for the face scrub
and the candy even though Heather supplied me with candy for a couple
of months! I have been sharing my candy with some of my close friends!
So I was out of town for two days this week and Alba won't be able to
go to the temple this week so we are going to teach them and hopefully
get Paqui, Paqui, Alba, Belén and Antonia(HOPEFULLY) baptized on the
29th. They are all Spanish from Jaén. That is a lot of Spaniards right
there! We also started teaching a guy that is really good. He is also
Spanish and his name is Juan. He has come to church for the past two
weeks and we finally got to teach him and he wants to get baptized! He
told us he wants to stop smoking and he knows he has to before he gets
baptized. So pray for him and Paqui to quit smoking. Antonia is still
there, not really progressing. She has her problems and we are hoping
that when she sees Alba get baptized it will touch her and make her want
to change. Miguel and Rocio are doing great and they will be baptized
on the 28th! We are just teaching them and they are doing great and
it´s reactivating the mom Pilar. She is great and has desires to stop
smoking and find someone to get sealed in the temple with. She really
wants to raise her kids in the gospel. Blanca taught Relief Society
yesterday and she loved it she says.
This is what I EAT pasta always...it´s cheap and good and I make it |
So probably the coolest thing in my mission happened this week. It
was so simple but the best thing in my mission. So we gave two Books
of Mormon to Rosana and Sebastian and told them to write their
testimonies in them and we are going to hand them out to their
neighbors. So Rosana is writing hers and finishes and then Sebastian
finishes and his mom reads it and starts crying. Man I am crying right
now. That was the best experience in my mission. I know that the best
thing a parent can read or hear is the testimony of their child. It
was the best thing in the world. Well with that I finished my week.
Everything is going great and I am good and things with the companion
are good. I am just learning patience. The Lord really wants me to
grow up and leave the mission knowing how to be an adult and kind of
take care of a kid. I know the church is true and I love my mission.
