Week # 52. Post Transfer!


Hey Everyone!!

This week was so cool because I have been so tired! I dont think I've felt like this in a long time but I just hit the bed ready to go the next day haha missions are the best! Haha

It has been a blast to be a district leader! Doing call ins with all the companionships in the district was so much fun! Everyone around here is killin it and spreading the light of Jesus Christ!

We got to be with lots of members this week and share and make videos with them and this one member family shared a story about service helped them during a bunch if hard times. Service helps so much! I've seen so many people on my mission change their attitude about missionaries completely just because kd some service! Find some opportunities to serve!!

We were on exchanges and we came up to a door and a lady was sitting outside and She said that we could talk with her so we were super hyped about that! we walked up and introduced ourselves talked a little bit about the church and somehow we got to the topic of coming to church. So we of course invited her but she said that she felt like she wouldn't feel very welcomed. And we shared the scripture with her that talks about how the gospel is for all people and that everyone should have an equal opportunity to come to Jesus and that's so true!! I love this gospel!

I was big sad to leave elder Jimenez :((( we got along so well! Every day was always something new and fun and I loved it haha always have a spot in my heart <3 But we got him down to transfers and got him all set and then I met my new companion!! Hes got the young missionary fire and I've loved to help him along! Hes gonna do great things!

1 Nephi 7:21
""21 And it came to pass that I did frankly forgive them all that they had done, and I did exhort them that they would pray unto the Lord their God for forgiveness.""

I've never understood the word frankly in that sense so the other day I looked it up! In one definition it means sincerely. I love that! Nephis brothers had just tied him up and left him to be eaten but He still sincerely forgave his brothers! Hes an amazing example of the commandment we have to forgive everyone!

Never forget the things you already know, and always keep building on them! Dont forget to say your prayers and read the Book of Mormon! Have a good week!

Week # 84. Other cities & conference!

Image
Hello Everyone! This week we had some good experiences so we can just hop right in!  We found that some earlier sisters had worked in a smaller city outside the main city and we decided that we we're gonna go out there and give it a go! I'll just say that was the best decision ever haha we basically got to knock doors for 5 hours straight to a bunch of people that were super willing to hear about Jesus. At one point we got to a house where this lady was washing clothes so we went up, introduced ourselves and asked if we could come back another day because she was busy and she goes, no no! Please sit down! I could never turn away representatives of Christ. My mind was blown!!! So we got to have a super amazing lesson with her right there At another door that we clapped, this older man of probably 80 years old life in him opened his window and we introduced ourselves and then he opened the front door and his son hurried to the door and was like "hey who are you guys!"

Week # 90. Weddings & New Friends!

Olááá Everyone!! We had some miracles this week!! First and foremost, our convert who got baptized two weeks ago, brought his whole family to church!! We were so proud of him!! We immediately went over and talked with them all and our convert goes "so let's mark some lessons right now, and let's have at least two lessons a week." I was so excited!! Not one but two lessons this week!! Then the coolest thing, we got to give him the priesthood :') It really made me remember of when I got it back at 12 and I had so many feelings!! This church is so true!! With the couple that's always so apt to change, we had a stressful week!! So we needed to take them into the city building with like 20 documents for EACH of them so we can get them married! Some how, by a miracle from God, they didnt have any problems!! It all went very smooth:) but then when they asked for my ID I whipped out my Utah Drivers license and they said that wasnt valid and I was like "are you ki...

Week # 88. Three Separate Beings

Image
Olá tudo mundo!! This week we taught a few more reinforcement lessons to our friends who are struggling with the word of wisdom, but these lessons were so good!! For one of our friends we talked about the vision of the tree of life. And when I shared what I thought, I talked about the verse that says: "And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost." So from that i talked about how it is the same with us! When we start to get a testimony of something, we learn that not following through with that thing is going down a forbidden path! And then that line "were lost". So SCARY! Basically I told him that now that he is gaining a testimony, he gets to have more blessings but live at a higher standard! And he said he is ready to stay off the Forbidden paths!! Then this week we started teaching a new couple!! Yall. I have never ever had anyone in my mission, pay at...
