More about Juany, Jorge, Geronimo and family:
Family! I apologize in advance, I am not going to be able to write much in this email because I spent a lot of time writing individuals, but it was a good week! We finished up the last week of the transfer and we have wonderful investigators who will soon enter the waters of baptism. I was pleased to see that our numbers for this transfer added up to be higher in almost every category than my last change. This is naturally a good feeling, but a relief for me as it was my first transfer as the senior companion and I was training.. which means I was focused and stressed on many many things, but still we did better than the last transfer! Whoo!! Still lots of room for improvement. Alright, I was convinced by Dad to share more about the family we are teaching. They are far enough along now that I dont think I will jinx it haha. Juany is the mom and she is so wonderful. She has taken hold of the gospel and is applying principles to her life before we even teach them....
Zone Conference
Familyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I miss yall and I love you! This week was good!! GET THIS. We went to Piedras Negras for Zone Conference and I was 2 minutes from the border!! If anyone knows where Eagle Pass is.. thats where I was. The closest I will ever be to home while I am on my mission. And I probably wont ever go there again because its really dangerous. The family we stayed over night with kept staring at us and wanted to take pictures with us because they were like "we have never seen sister missionaries before!!" It was really cute. Zone Conference was so great and man I love our mission president. He is so inspirational and just brings the Spirit with him wherever he goes. We learned a lot about the Atonement and about autosufficiency. I wish I had the time to expound. I still am afraid to tell yall much about the family we are teaching because I am convinced I jinx things.. but Juany, Jonathan, and Geronimo went to church for the 3rd ti...
Back to Neuva Rosita
Alrightttttttttttt what a week, We had splits with the sister training leaders and I went to Nueva Rosita! It was really weird to go back there after two months. It seems so small!! Haha I think its like when you{re a kid and your house feels huge, but once you{re older it feels small. Who knows, but it was pretty fun. Nice to also talk with some of the members that I knew, but not I understand and communicate with them MUCH better. Also, the sister that is that area told me that Pedro (my convert) has gone to church every single sunday and is recieving the priesthood this next week. Also, he found the birth certificate of his wife and is starting her temple work!! He is pretty excited about it. AND she told me that he has been asking about me this past few weeks!! I wanted to cry I was so happy. I didnt get to visit him, but good news none the less. He is so sweet. Unfortunately Angle{s parents have changed their minds about his baptism and are not going to let hi...
5 Investigators at Church
Alright Fam fam, whats the 411? Wellllllllllllllllll Angel is a rock star and doing great getting ready for his baptism. I love that he comes to church in white shirt and tie and honestly just is glowing. We hardly have to do anything with him, he{s just great. Huge transformation in such little time. One of the other young men told me the other day Angel even explained a scripture in Sunday school so I am pretty proud of him. His baptism is 11 days away! BUT GUESS WHAT!? We had 5 INVESTIGATORS IN CHURCH YESTERDAY!! Oh my gosh talk about clouddddd 9. And I give the members a gold star because so many people greeted them and made them feel welcome. Mere (as usual), Angel, and my favorite family!!! Jorge still didnt want to come, but Juany finally decided she would just go without him because she really wants to, and their two sons Jonathan (18) and Geronimo (13) wanted to go too, so the three of them came together! It was sooooo great and they all seemed to have a ...
