Elder Pieper

By -
Well I was going to send some pictures from this week because we had a really awesome conference given by Elder Pieper, a 70, who came to tour the mission, but it isnt working hehe.

But the conference was amazing!!! I wish I had time to expound but basically my journal is FULL of notes and I truly felt the Spirit. We are already putting things into practice as a companionship and we are seeing the fruits. It has to do with people deciding their own baptismal dates instead of us setting them.. and a whole bunch of others things where they CHOOSE to do things. Clearly we guide them, which is where the trick comes in because we have to help them desire to do things... but its really cool to watch. Its going to take a lot of skill development and practice, but I am excited to see the success that will surely come. 

Right now we are working with a family who apparently were baptized when they were little (the parents) but havent gone since. They are the family Hernandez Figaroa and are basically re-invesitgating the church. Their 18 year old daughter is really interested and the father has a tonnnn of questions. Those two went to church yesterday and later we taught the whole family the lesson about the Restoration up until the Grand Apostasy. They are currently contemplating the necesity for a living prophet until the next time we visit on Wednesday to teach about Joseph Smith. They are reading the Book of Mormon and I pray the progress. I ask that yall pray for them too! 

Leobarda is also progressing and still working on stopping smoking. Shes doing well but needs a little spiritual push to recognize the need to get going.
We are working with a few other families are just waiting on divorces and marriages to get baptized. Sounds great!! 

Haha love you all!! Have a fabulous week!! Please please please open your mouth about this gospel!! Its a beautiful beautiful thing :).

Con 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...

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....
