Wow another week went by already... Time is going by so fast! And its already May!! What happened to April??
Well
this week was soooo good! We taught TONS of lessons this week haha.
Also this week we went on splits with some sisters in our ward. And
honestly I was TERRIFIED! I mean i speak spanish pretty good but its
still kinda nervewrecking to teach without your companion for the first
time! So i was super super nervous but i mean i wasnt gonna tell Hna.
Rivera that we werent gonna do it because i was scared haha so i had to
buck up and get over it. But it really was such an amazing experience
for me. So in the lessons that we had, in 2 of them i had to commit to
baptism! So that made me even more nervous. But honestly it went sooo
well. I was being helped out thats for sure :) I mean i had never
spoken that good of spanish yet in my mission! And all 3 people that I
challeneged to baptism acceped!!!!!!! Yeah it was a pretty good day :)
And
yes we had a baptism this week!!! It went soo well! I will try to
send pictures if i have time :) But we baptized Anderson! And his dad
attended the baptism! Hna. Violeta also attended but we are not sure of
what she thought about it because she left too fast after it ended! But
we have a family home eveneing with her tonight
so we will find out :) We are kind of getting discouraged with Hna.
Violeta because she stopped reading her book of mormon, stopped praying,
and hasnt come to church in a couple weeks. We are trying to help her
have a spiritual experience so she can know that she needs to be
baptized. We are hoping that tonight she will have one... Because honestly we dont know what else to do!!! Ugh.... But we are going to keep working with her.
THIS
WEEK IS MOTHERS DAY! I am so excited to get to be able to talk to you
all!!! Gosh it feels like just yesterday was Christmas hahha :) But
anyways... I am going to call at 6pm
PERUVIAN TIME. And honestly i dont remember what time that is in Utah
haha. I think its at like 5 or 7 or something like that... But i hope
that works for everyone!! If not... Mother i hope you are connected
right now to tell me otherwise haha. But honestly I am soo excited to
talk to you! :)
I am not playing my violin as much as i use to but i am still really greatful to have it :)
And
honestly i meet super crazy people every single day hahaha :) but the
most interesting person i met this week was probably Hna Filomena haha.
She is a little old lady and she told us that we are literal angels
sent to change her life and then just kept talking for about 30 minutes
and we were just laughing because we didnt understand hardly ANYTHING of
what she said haha. And no it was not just because my spanish haha :)
And
my scripture of the week is Alma 37:35. Learn wisdom in thy youth :)
Really i was thinking a lot this week about how greatful i am for the
oppertunity i had to be raised in the gospel and learn true wisdom in my
youth. I got to share my experiences of learning the gospel in a
loving home and how i obtained my testimony. Gosh i love being a
missionary :)
Well that is it for my week, i hope you all have such a good week this week! I cant wait to talk to you on Sunday!!!!
My companion is super obedient so i really might only get to talk for
30 or 40 minutes but shes talking to her family first so i will find out
haha. I hope it gets to be a little longer! I love you all and miss
you tons! Have such a good week!
Love,
Hermana Lauren Jane Mitchell :)
