Hola Familia!!
Things are better here!! I’m getting used to everything…slowly.
Pero, its better!! We have water again which is a great blessing. The hard part
is that since my area is in a residential area, no one likes to be out!! So me
and Hermana Calderon have this new saying for different parts of our area, it’s
“El area de the walking dead”, this is because it actually looks like parts of
the TV show…real creepy. But, each day is hard, people reject us all the time because
they say that they are catholic or whatnot, and it’s really frustrating. But
something that I have learned is to find the little miracles in our life. For
example, after getting rejected and dropped over and over. Someone finally accepted
and we have a cita set for this week! Also, we got two new progressing
investigators this week. We are shooting for more this week too!!
It really is a tender mercy when someone accepts because each
time someone doesn’t, I just about die and my heart breaks, because this gospel
is amazing and without it where would we be!
We had a service project this week! It was so awesome, we
went to someone’s house on top of a hill and cleared the mountainside...well…the
elders in our zone did, while all the Hermanas organized.
They also fed us
lunch, and something that was funny was that the head of the house came up to
me and told me, “Hermana, usted va a hacer una buena esposa”, all of the elders
thought that was hilarious. It was kind of strange to be completely
honest.
Each lesson that we have taught I am beginning to feel the
spirit during them a little more, when I try to not focus so hard on my Spanish.
And one experience that happened was that we were teaching two of our
progressing investigators and I bore my testimony on the Book of Mormon, I felt
the spirit so strong during that lesson. And I know that they felt it
too.
Something that I am learning slowly is how to keep the
spirit with me and to act on promptings, it’s really hard right now because I’m
so new here, but I will begin to learn things more and more, and It will
develop with time.
I love you all so much!! I can’t wait to receive your
packages and I will let you know when I get them!
Con amor,
Hermana Reed
