Hola Familia!! I have news!! This past Tuesday we had
cambios and I got a new companera, she is from Guatemala and Jeff you´re gonna
enjoy this, she is a wrestler... yes so I feel really girly. J
She’s awesome and she works really hard and we are having a lot more success
here. There are a few differences between us that makes it hard at times but I
am so grateful that I have learned the importance of communication and
communicating openly, it’s so important, especially as a companionship because
if we don’t have unity we can’t teach with the spirit and nothing gets done.
This week has been a week of work work work. We have been
trying to change the mentality of our Ward, they aren’t super great with
helping the work here, but we are working on getting them super excited and
working with them. And so far we have been seeing fruits to our efforts.
They are getting more excited and are more willing to help us.
My Spanish is coming so much easier now!! It’s a miracle!!
The gift of tongues really is real. I have been able to look at my progress
here from the beginning with my language and it is amazing. Never did I dream
that I would be able to communicate with people and they would be able to
understand me and vice versa. I know that the Lord is helping me so much with
this and it is such a blessing.
One miracle this week. So we have been doing a lot of
contacting and have been trying to find people to teach in one of our areas
that really doesn’t have anyone to teach, so many people lie to us and their
directions and everything...a little bit frustrating…but!! while we were
searching for someone in one of the neighborhoods we decided to talk to two little
kids and asked for them to get their mom.
When their mom saw us, she invited us
right in and was super open and super interested. Turns out her family lived
with her best friend’s family for a year and they are members, she loved how
they lived and wanted that kind of family life.
Her name is Nely and she is super positive. We are going to work really
hard with her.
I have a testimony of this work. I know that no matter how
hard things get in the field the best thing is to keep pushing forward with
faith and hope, and the lord will bless you. Just keep pushing forward with a
smile and the spirit. The lord puts the people that need us in our path in certain
times.
I love you all!!!
