Week 21
Haupei Yall!
Happy Things!
1. This week we had
divisions with the Hermana Lideres! And I got so lucky to be with my MOM again!
Hermana Taylor! We had so much fun catching up and learning from the other on
what we are doing in our areas, what we need help with, and just how to be
better missionaries. She is a BOMB hermana lider.
2. This weekend we had
District Conference! The WHOLE district came all the way from the chaco to our
chapel! We go to hear from the district presidency and Presidente Evans and his
wife! A lot of the talks were about action. How we can be better members,
better serve, and stay active in the church. Key principles that everyone
talked about was daily scripture reading, prayer, and frequent visits to the
temple. Definitely things I am ready to apply to the rest of my life.
3. We had a rockin
Noche de Hogar with Yanina, Erica, and Nicol with a sweet family from the ward.
We have been struggling with them because their mom did a complete 180 and was
not liking us anymore, BUT with the help of another sweet mom with a strong
testimony, their mom is more open to letting the girls go to church again. We
are so grateful for the members constantly. The work cannot get done without
them! AKA YALL!
4. Our convert Adrian
is on a mini mission for the next two weeks! We are super siked to hear how it
goes.
5. Our sweet Leis from
the less active family we have been working with is getting baptized in
two weeks! The family has been against having a baptismal date with her, but
they have been attending for the past month and sweet Leis has a HUGE desire to
get baptized and play a part in the church. Her example is truly pulling the
parents back in to activity and I am so impressed by their progress. Keep this
family in your prayers!
One of my favorite
songs to rock out to by MoTab is How Firm a Foundation. But the song isn't
kickin until we get to verse 7.
"The soul that on
Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot, desert to his
foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll
never, no never, I'll never, no never, I'll never, no never, no never
forsake!"
The mission has never
been easy. All hell truly is fighting each one of us everyday when we get up
and get out on the streets, but there is something that we have that Satan can
never take away and that is our hope and faith in the Lord. He is going to try
and shake that, but we must always remember and declare that we will never
forsake what we know and what we have felt to be true. I find so much strength
in the Lord each day. Without him I could not continue forward. I add my
testimony to the words of this hymn that I will NEVER forsake this gospel. I
know and hope that each one of yall will also add to this declaration. I
promise you that you will never regret this decision.
All my love and more!
