Cambios!

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 it. 

We have set a baptismal date with Jonathan!! the 17th of this month. He is still feeling really unsure about a date, but he wants to be baptized and hes worked really hard with not smoking and stuff. He is such a good kid. This week when had a lesson with him where he gave the closing prayer, asking to feel good about the baptismal date because he wants to get baptized, and he cried. He didnt really say much, but I know he really wants it. 

Jorge is pretty much the same. He is being really stubborn and I am kind of stumped as to what to do right now, but well figure it out. Its going to be the workings of the Spirit, but the other week we had a super awesome lesson with him where I was able to tell he felt the Spirit as a testified of baptism. It was one of those moments where I myself was learning as I spoke. 

Oh!! We went on splits this week with Hermana Ferguson and I love her!! I have attached a few pictures. She is the one with brown hair, and Hermana Walsh is the other blondie. Us three are pretty good friends and I am jealous they are companions.

We have a new investigator named Galilea who is 18 and lives in Barroterran and I was able to really connect with her this week. Her mom was talking NON STOP in the lesson and we werent even able to teach. I pretty much stopped her and was like "I want to talk to Galilea" and turned to her and testified directly to her that the church is true and that this is what she needs in her life, etc. We were able to have another good lesson with her yesterday and I feel like I am the missionary that is able to connect with  her. I can just see it and it feels good to be an instrument in the Lords hands. I pray to be worthy of this calling.

Well, got to go, but heres a quote about obedience that I read this morning by President Monson. Sorry its in spanish. "No hay mayor propósito que éste escoger aceptar Su disciplina llegar a ser Sus discípulos y hacer Su obra a lo largo de nuestra vida. Ninguna otra coas, ninguna otra elección, podrá transformarnos en lo que Él nos puede convertir."

Cant say it better than the prophet!! I sure love and sustain him. 

Love you all, have a great week!! Be the example that your relative, neighbor, friend, coworker, etc needs to see!

Con mucho amor,
Hermana Roberts

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! (in Mexico.. clearly)

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! (in Mexico.. clearly) Well what a week... it unfortunately was not very successful... haha but because I took a suprise trip to Saltillo in the middle of the week.... ALONE!!! We were studying one morning and I was getting all pumped to get out and start working and I was feeling good and we had great plans for the day when all of a sudden the mission office calls and told me I had to take care of stuff for my Visa and come to Saltillo.. in like 2 hours. So yeah, and they sent me alone. So this week I conquered the fear of traveling through Mexico as an American muchacha who is still learning spanish... alone. But hey, I did it, and nothing bad happened. And I even got to Saltillo and got a taxi and traveled through the city and made phone calls (in spanish thank you) and got things taken care of. BAM! Clearly they trust me or something because apparently that never happens (sending a sister without her companion... none the less a American ne...

Travelling Sister

I dont really know how to start my letters anymore cause I always say the same thing haha... entonces... Hola Family!! Mmm not too much to report. Just working and trying to stay awake in the lessons in this heat. Haha mostly exaggerating but after lunch in this heat... listening to someone tell you a really long story... it gets hard, ya know? I only work about half the time in my own area now. We go on splits twice a week and the are each for about a day and a half so it gets kind of crazy sometimes. I have been leaving to work in the other sister´s area every time because I still dont know our own area well enough to direct it with someone how does know it at all, so I have basically been a traveling missionary. I love working with Hna. Walsh and we are a good team, just sad we are only together like half the time haha. But its been a good experience to get to know other sisters and try to help them improve and find what is keeping them from having more success.  A...

Rosi & Fransisco

Hello hello!! This week we saw our new investigators, Rosi and Fransisco  on Monday  night and challenged them to be baptized with a specific date. They.... turned it down... hahaha but only because its for like a week from now. They have to have 5 weeks in church before they can be baptized, but they already had a few in the states, so we went ahead and challenged them. They said they want to be baptized, but they want to learn more first and everything and 2 weeks didnt seem sufficient haha. I couldnt blame them. We didnt get to seem them again during the week (they are VERY busy for an elderly couple) and unfortunately they didnt make it to church  on Sunday  which was basically devestating, right? But we passed by in the evening to see why they didnt go, and they werent home. Their adult son greeted us and let us know that they suddenly had to take a trip to Monterrey and he was their caring for their house. So we´ll see whats up. But they are super cute....
