Ceci baptism

By -
This week Ceci was baptized!! I am going try to get pictures sent, but the computer is being wierd. It was really beautiful and she is a sweetheart! She was SO excited for her baptism, and then at the last minute she started to freak out about the font haha but all was well. 

She was confirmed on Sunday and she is already doing great in the ward. She already has friends and is recieving support from the ward. I am realllllyyyyyy content right now because her inactive family is showing signs of becoming active again. Her mom went to her baptism and I saw her cry a little bit, but the next day she had to work and couldnt go to the confirmation. When we visited that evening she was really sad she couldnt go. She talked about how she needs to get active because its not right her 2 daughters are active and going and keeping their convenants, and their parents arent. She wants her family to be unified in the gospel and is finally making the decision herself to change... not just us telling her. A few weeks back I advised to her start looking for a new job, but she didnt really consider it. Last night I asked her if she was looking and she replied with an absolute yes. She wants this for her family. We talked about them being sealed as a family and we are working with them to make it happen. I LOVE when people make the decisions for themselves to change because they feel the Spirit. Prayers for this family!! We have formally solicited help from the bishopbric and leaders, informing them that NOW is the time for this family. If we all work together, beautiful blessings with be reaped. 

Things are going well with my companion! I am formally taking on the role as spanish teacher and its kind of fun! Its rewarding too cause shes a good student and I have seen a lot of improvement already this week! 

I love this work and I love being a full time missionary!! The day I take my tag off will be a day of bawling. Still a member missionary, but its just not the same. Love you all!!

Con amor,
Hermana Roberts

P.S. my birthday is in august... if anyone is interested in sending me a book of arranged hymns by like john schmidt or something for the piano... I would not be opposed. :)

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....
