Week 17
Haupei Yall!
Happy Things!!!
1. So this is a
mixture. haha this past tuesday we found out we had transfers :( so as we were
despediring everyone for Hermana Taylor we went to cena and got a LOMIPIZZA!
like a hamburger with the pizza as the bread the lomito as the middle. so
delicious. and a bitter sweet goodbye. BUT later that night we got a phone
call...Hermana Taylor has been called as the new Hermana Lider andddd...
2. IM TRAINING. SOY
MAMA! yeah. I could not believe it either. Lemme tell you I broke down and
cried! I just finished my training! But wow. My sweet unigenita is an ANGEL!
and SO PREPARED! Hermana Montaño is from Santa Cruz, Bolivia and is a rockstar.
On her first day she went right to contacting and in lessons didnt hesitate to
talk! She is 19 and is as sweet as can be. I LOVE MY BABY SO MUCH!
3. Yup and other big
news! Erica and Nicol got baptized!!! They are the sweet girls that have been
excited about sharing with us, learning the gospel, and going to church since
day one! They even got up on Sunday and BORE THEIR TESTIMONIES!!! My sweet
sweet hermanitas are already super great and solid converts! Their other sister
Yanina is getting baptized this Saturday! We are so grateful for the prepared
children God has here in Mariano.
Quick Thought: Being a
trainer was super intimadating to me (hence why I cried) but justamente last
week I read this talk by Stephen W. Owen from the April General Conference. He
talks about leadership and how we can be better leaders. Yall know me pretty
well and leadership is definitely something I am drawn to. But training? I have
never felt more inadequate in my life, but something this talk taught me was
that the greatest leaders are the greatest followers (the title btw) He says,
"Jesus Christ is the greatest leader BECAUSE he was the greatest
follwer" He followed the will of God in EVERYTHING and when we do the same
the Lord qualifies us and we lead others to Christ simply by following him
ourselves. I was super grateful for this simple reminder that I can train
another missionary because I had a great trainer and because my ultimate
trainer is Jesus Christ.
I am so so grateful to
be here in Paraguay serving and more happy than I have ever been before! Truly
serving the Lord brings many if not ALL the blessings we could ask for!
I love yall so so
much!
