Last week in the transfer

By -
Wow, its gone by fast, right? Things went well this week!! Hermana Tah and I were TOTALLY bummed on Sunday because Maria and her son couldnt go to church.. they had some family obligations. I was kind of feeling deflated, but we visited them in the evening and they are still doing well with the gospel and everything. Maybe there is a hidden reason or blessing for their absence. Maria still doesnt have a date for her baptism, but we are trying to cool it as not to pressure her too much. She is learning and reading. I just want her to have a testimony NOW.. haha its defintley a patience thing. I just have to remember sometimes that I have been working on my own testimony and conversion for years... where as these people are only beginning to discover the full truth. 

Something I have been thinking about A LOT lately, especially with my study of the Book of Mormon, is that I am working with the descendents of the lamanties....... !!! When I read the Book of Mormon and then leave our house to go work, its just an interesting perspective. As we are teaching and i am looking into their eyes, I think about where they have come from and all that has happened right here when I am teaching back so many years. Its really cool and also very strange haha. 

This morning we finally went and hiked the mountain!!!! I have some AWESOME pictures that I want to send but something is wrong my with my memory card and every time I plug it into the computer it says its empty.. but I do have lots of pictures I want to show. Any ideas from anyone on what I can do to fix that? Or what I can buy? 

Prayers for the Hernandez family, especially Luis, as he is struggling with the word of wisdom. But prayers for their whole family. And of course for Maria and her son. I need help knowing what to do for them to ensure they arent convinced, but are CONVERTED and act according to their own desires. But please pray that they will HAVE those desires haha.

Love you all so much!! Have a good week!!

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...

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....
