Family!!

This really will be short this week and I say that because Mark commented I always say that and still write super long letters... haha

Well in the way of this week, we have had several inactive families come back to church that we have been working with and so that was super great!! We havent had new investigators for a while, but at least we are still seeing fruits of our labors. 

I am leaving Sabinas!! My new area is Manantiales in a city called Ramos Arizpe! It is just outside of Saltillo, and I will be opening the area, which means that both my companion and myself are new in the area. I am nervous about that, but it will be a fresh start and so thats good!! We will be the first sister missionaries there in over a year. They closed the area to sisters a while back, but this transfer are opening it up. So we will see whats in store for us! 

My new companion is Hermana Tah and I dont really know anything about her.. only that she arrived here to field at the same time as me! I am still the senior companion, so I hope that dont cause any conflict since we have the same amount of time, but I havent heard anything bad about her so thats good :). She has been with Hermana Barnard the past 3 months, my old companion.

Hermana Abanto is also leaving Sabinas so we are running around trying to get everything ready for the new sisters that will be arriving tomorrow. Its been crazy, but all is well.

I am really happy to be leaving. Yes it is bitter sweet cause I have gotten to know and love a lot of people, but 6 months is long enough.. I have spent almost my entire mission here. It will be strange to work somewhere new for exactly that reason, but I think it will be good. I am getting stir crazy and need something to get me going again. 

I hope and pray the work keeps moving forward here in Sabinas and just so you know Mom and Dad, people have made me PROMISE to come and visit and I told them we would come in December haha. It makes me happy that I have been able to touch some peoples lives here and build relationships with them. I hope and pray they continue onward with they testimonies they have started. Its a delicate thing, a testimony, and needs a lot of care. I will be doing lots of praying for them.

Mark, I think this is still considered a long letter based on your terms, but hey, I tried ;).

LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!! Have a fabulous week! Miss you tonsssssssssssss. I sure am blessed with a wonderful family and am looking forward to our reunion at Christmas!! 

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....
