Oceania!

Hello hello
Well here I am in Oceanía! Its not too far from my last area in Zarco, but I am in a different zone and stake. My zone (and stake) is called Valle de las Flores. The mission office is in my area, as well as President Rodriguez´s house. We should be eating with them this month. I share an area with the assistants and we eat with them several times a week. They are pretty fun and as I have heard, sometimes its a competition cause we dont have divisiones of the area.... we share it completely.
My new companion is Hermana Trejo from Tlaxcala, Mexico. Its south of Mexico City and close to Puebla. She is 19 years old and has one transfer in the mission. She is a fantastic missionary and has lots of potential. Sometimes I dont feel like I am her trainer. Shes great :). I hope to be a good example to her and be able to pass on all of my exansive knowledge and experience and charisma ;) in this last transfer.
We were able to set baptismal dates with two of their investigators this past week for the 14th of November. Ricardo is 19 and his mother is Vicenta. They are both doing great and have gained testimonies of the church. I have seen much progress in them this past week.
We had a bit of a trial this week and havent had much success in finding new people to teach, but we have faith for this upcoming week and ask for lotttttts of prayers. Its a little rough having to learn a new area at this point in my mission, but I hope to make the best of it and go home tired.
LOVE YOU ALL LOTS!!
Hermana Roberts
P.S. I took a picture with my new companion, but I didnt like it so sorry.... maybe next week haha.

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....
