Edificando el Reino: Hermana Roberts en Saltillo, México

Hello family!! Well I talked to you on Christmas so I dont have too much to say. Plus, I wrote a lot of personal emails this week which I think I actually might like better and may do more in the future.. I will discuss it with myself throughout this week haha. But talking to yall on Christmas was the bestttttttttttttttttttt. Miss you so much. Love you so much. And I think the best thing I have EVER heard is that you are all coming home next year when I come home. Man I am soooo happy I will only spend one Christmas in the mission. It wasnt horrible, but nothing like being with family haha. I am only going to share a quote from my personal study this week that had a big impression on me. Its found in the book Jesus the Christ by James E. Talmadge. It says  Our Heavenly Father has a full knowledge of the nature and disposition of each of His children, and knowledge gained by long oberservation and experience in the past eternity of our primeval childhoo...

¡¡Hola hola!! Well everyone, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! It doesnt really feel like Christmas to me, just because I have never had a Christmas like this before, but I am trying to enjoy the experience rather than being sad!! Also, pretending its not Christmas helps too :) jaja. We speak this thursday !! Whooo!!!! Okay well this week was great! Still super stressful, offffffff couuuuurseeee because I still have to arrange schedules for EVERYONE (or so it feels like). But whatever because JUANY AND GERONIMO GOT BAPTIZED!!! I have attached pictures becuase those speak better than words anyways, right? Well I am just going to write what I wrote in my journal again.. "Juany was SO nervous. I went with her where she enters the font and she was shaking and jittery, but she did great and came out smiling. Geronimo was baptized last (this was a baptism of 7 people.. it was huge) and complained the water was cold haha but he did great too. Admist all the crazy I was able to re...

Buenas tardes familia, Well this week was an interesting one, thats for sure! We went to the doctor on Monday night and my companion, Hermana Rebolledo, was instructed to not walk for 10 days. I talked with the mission president and we came up with a plan for the time being so that we could keep working. Hermana Abanto, one of the sisters in the trio in Rosita, came and worked with me all week and members from the branch stayed with Hermana Rebolledo in our apartment during the day. It was SUPER stressful honestly because I had to coordinate all of that on top of the nomal missionary work, but this week should be better because its more organized. On Thursday , the 10 day mark, we will review with president what we will be the next plan of action.  Working with Hermana Abanto was GREAT!! I LOVE her!! She arrived in the field the same time as Hermana Rebolledo, so I am doing both of their training. Hermana Abanto is from Peru and man, I just really like her. She...

¡¡Hola hola!! Well fam, there wasnt too much that happened this week in the way of our investigators. That would have to be due to the fact that my companion sprained her ankle or something (still not sure whats wrong) on Tuesday afternoon and so we were pretty much down and out for the whole week cause she can hardly walk. We still tried to work, but it was really slow and in the long run, we didnt really accomplish anything. After a lot of hassle and a lot of waiting, we finally are seeing a doctor tonight at 7. I think its a tendon because.. well I wont go into medical details, but we{ll find out if I am right haha. I wish we knew so I could tell yall what this next week it going to look like.  On Friday we had our mission Christmas party!! Whooo. It was just with our zone, but president and his family came as well as his counselors and their families. Elder Diarte (one of the consejeros) took a picture of me eating and told me he was going to send it to ...

Short again this week.. sorry!! And my keyboard is being dumb. Gah, cant wait to one day use functional computers again. Man I took the BYU library forgranted. Well my hija and I are still here in Sabinas working every day. Nothing too special happened this week, but my wonderful Medrano family is progressing very nicely. Jorge went to church again this past Sunday and I think he is planning on making a habit of it ;). We watched the Restoration video with them this week and talked a little more about the Book of Mormon to solidfy their understanding. They all pretty bore testimony after that they know it is true...!! Whoo!! Very comforting to hear as a missionary haha. Geronmio and Juany will be getting baptized on the 13th, due to a prior obligation on their original baptismal date (the 6th). Jorge will hopefully be getting baptized in the weeks thereafter, although we do not have a date for him. We did have an awesome lesson with him this past week though about th...
