This week has been so amazing!! We've met a lot of interesting
children of God! For some reason we were having a harder time finding
people this week and helping people progress. It was such a neat
experience and testimony of fasting and prayer to see miracles and
find people who are prepared. We ended up finding this girl named
Hannah who is in high school. We had a girl in our young women's come
out with us who wants to serve a mission and we ended up knocking on
this door and it so happened to be one of her friends. It turns out
she already has a Book of Mormon! Also she talked to her friend about
being baptized and changing their lives around the night before we
talked to her. It was just so amazing to see how interested she was in
learning more and how much desire she had to follow Christ! We're
definitely going to teach the whole family and help them all follow
the gospel and be baptized! I know this work is truly God's work and
he leads us every day and miracles happen every day!
I didn't mention this last week, but For P-day a couple of weeks ago
we went rock climbing! Our stake president has a climbing wall in his
basement, it's actually one of the kid's rooms! I was pretty excited
when I heard it was approved by the mission to go climbing! I actually
started climbing in my dress when we first saw it... The next time I
was prepared with pants. They have an automatic belay and it goes up
pretty high like 25 feet. They even have holds on the ceiling! They're
a pretty neat family and they do all sorts of things like beekeeping
and cutting off chickens heads (Sister Manu wanted to do that with
them).
This week is transfer week! I'm staying and my new companion is Sister
Pritchet! I've served in the same area as her before so I'm excited!
And of course at the same time I'm a little sad for Sister Manu to be
leaving. She's been teaching me some Tongans and I should've taken the
opportunity to learn more! Well, I'm technically a Spanish missionary
but you never know when you'll run into a Tongan in Kansas! My last 3
companions have been English speaking and I've been in English Areas
but that's okay, we'll run into a couple of latinos one day!
I love you guys so much! I know how important it is to share your
testimony as much as you can! When you share truths, the spirit will
be there to testify. I know this church is Christ's only true church
and that President Thomas S. Monson is his prophet. I know the Book
of Mormon is the word of God and should be studied every day. I know
Heavenly Father loves us and answers our prayers and helps us align
our will with his. Jesus Christ is our Savior and as we repent and
turn to him we can be forgiven. I'm so grateful for the ordinances of
the Gospel and how we can truly be forever families in the temple. I'm
so grateful each and every day to be a missionary and share these
things with everyone I see!
Speaking of sharing testimonies... I just wanted to share a funny
experience that happened this week. When we had fast and testimony
meeting there was a fairly new convert who bore their testimony and
talked about the Jungle Book and the song "bear necessities" and how
we don't need all of these things we think we need. We just need the
gospel and our families. And he actually started singing the song...
I thought I was dreaming for a second, but no it actually happened and
there were a couple of kids singing along!
I love all of you! Thanks for your support and prayers!! Ofa Atu! Te quiero!
