Well
this week was SOOO GOOD!! So first off my new companion is Hermana
Pleitez!! She is from El Salvador and honestly she is just so nice.
She is also really quite and we dont talk a whole lot but we get along
so well and we teach really well together too so thats good :) She has
been in her mission for 15 months and only has 3 months left! Thats just
crazy to me haha :) We also have a TON in common! She has 4 siblings
also, 3 brothers and 1 sister haha :) But she is the oldest in her
family. She also is studying nursing and wants to work with children
after her mission too! Another cool thing about her is she and one of
her brothers are the only members of the chuch in her family. Her
parents and her other siblings arent members. I am really impressed by
her and i am really excited for this transfer with her! :) I have also
had to really come out of my shell this week which has actually been a
really good thing for me. Hna. Valle use to do all the talking and all
the teaching so i really never had to say anything, but with Hna.
Pleitez, she really doesnt know anyone here and is pretty shy so I have
had to talk A TON! And it has been so good for me! I have gotten a lot
closer with investigators and ward members and it just really has
improved my whole out look. Its so interesting how a companion can
change everything! I really am just so happy here! I am really
starting to love my mission and the people and really have started to
realize how important this work is. Yeah it was a pretty good week :)
So
since we had our baptisms last week we really didnt have many more
investiagors after that so this week was a week of finding new
investiagors and contacting old ones. And let me tell you, we were SUPER
busy! We have a newish investiagor named Paula, she is the sister of
one of our other investigators. We really havent taught her very much
but she came to chuch last week and came again this week! During releif
(i forgot how to spell it in english hahaha) society they gave a little
time for whoever wanted to to bear their testimony and Hna. Paula stood
up and bore her testimony! She was just saying how greatful she was to
have found this church and how greatful she was for the missionarys and
how she cant wait to learn more and keep coming and progressing. It
was a good moment for us :) We are going to work a lot with her this
week and I hope she keeps progressing! :)
Today
we had a zone activity and President and Sister Rowley came! It was so
good to get to see them again :) We played games and got to watch Meet
the Mormons! It was so fun :) We have a zone conference with them in 3
weeks so ill get to see them again pretty soon :)
Mother!!!

important trip right? ;)
