Edificando el Reino: Hermana Roberts en Saltillo, México

Familiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Well this was a SUPER boring week. Like its pretty much even pointless to write yall haha cause nothing happened. I decided that we should add 2 new statistics to the list of numbers we report to the mission every week. The first would be "number of people you dropped" and "number of people you went to visit and weren´t home". If those were added, we would have had great numbers this week. One awesome thing happened, that being that both Jonathan and Geronimo recieved the priesthood yesterday!! I feel pretty content with that :). The church needs more priesthood here and so.. yep. Jonathan is so awesome. Gonna miss him. I was feeling a little bummed/bored with this week (and honestly... I am looking forward to transfers in 3 weeks because I am worn out with Sabinas after almost 6 months) so this morning in my study I made a list of the miracles that I have seen in my mission to help me be more grateful. 1. Alt...

HELLO FAMILY!! Well I have lots I want to tell you about this week!! First off... JONATHAN GOT BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY !!! Bet you werent all expecting that...... *insert sly smiling emoji that is only on the iphone which i dont have*. I AM SO HAPPY!!  It started with last Monday. We had a lesson with him in the evening to practice the piano and we planned to talk to him about baptism afterwards. It was more of a conversation between all of us because he basically is just our friend now and so he super opened up about his thoughts and such. We were direct and it was SO SWEET because I was able to feel the chain of questions that need to be asked to get him committed. In final I asked him why he had stopped smoking. Why did he do it? He replied so that he could get baptized. And so I was like "Well, you{ve stopped smoking so.... now what?" and after thinking for a second he was like "baptism". We just let his answer sit there and then I asked hi...

Okay okay, I kind of dont have much time... BAH HOW FRUSTRATING. This week was really good though, actually!! I enjoy working with Hermana Abanto, my new companion! Although we arent perfect, shes awesome and we have already gotten a good rythmn down with our teaching. Its so nice. The work is still stressful, but I feel a lot less stressed out with her. I finally have a companion after 3 months that talks to me and laughs with me and.. whoo!! I am really sorry to do this, but I am going to attach my experience in spanish because I already wrote it up to send to president and... well.. here ya go.. use google translate or something haha. Tuvimos una experiencia con nuestro investigador se llama Angel (tiene 16 años y sus papas no quieren que se bautice). Tuvimos una cita con él pero estaba lluevindo muy fuerte y nos llamò para verficiar que ibamos a reunirnos por la cita. Preguntamos si pudimos tenerla en su casa pero la respuesta fue un claro "no.. no pod...

FAMILIA!! LE AMO!! Alright, heres the update for this week... CAMBIOS!! I am staying here in Sabinas for another transfer with Hermana Abanto and.... Hermana Rebolledo is leaving! She is just going to the other area in Sabinas so I will still see her like.. almost every day.. but we wont be working together anymore. Its been a good run and I love her, definietly learned a lot, but I think it will be better if we are apart.... :).  I am pretty excited to work with Hermana Abanto! The dynamic has been different with her this week because we continued to work in a trio, but it wasnt a bad week. I cant think of anything exciting that really happened, if we are being honest. I pretty bland week. Hermana Abanto fell down the stairs at our apartment complex and bruised herself up pretty bad and then had some weird breathing problems the next day (I just dont understand sometimes haha) but it doesnt seem to be anything that is going to last. I just want to work, darn ...
