Zarco Cambio Dos- August 10

Family!!

We have finished our first week here in Zarco, Hermana Murset and I. She is a DOLL and I absolutely love her. I think she is the perfect companion for me right now and I have a lot of faith that we are going to be a successful team. She has a lot of characteristics and skills that I hope to develop and I really admire her. We have been able to identify strengths in both of us that work well together and its almost relaxing to teach with her. When we teach I feel like we are actually being instruments for the Spirit to speak. Not that that really depends in us but we try really hard and the Lord blesses us. 

Shes has 10 months in the mission and so we both have been able to get some experiences and develop skills that will serve us well. I imagine I will learn a lot from her this next change. We are the sister training leaders for all the sisters here in Saltillo, like last change, but shes new and pretty nervous, so prayers would be appreciated. We have decided to do things differently on splits with the other sisters and I discussed them with President this morning and he agrees they will bring us more success in the mission and so I am excited about it :). I cant really take credit, it was the idea from the senior sister training leader in the north, but como quiera we are going to put it in practice here too! 

A lot of our progressing investigadores are kind of at a hault right now for being out of town and well... the eternal investigadores that we had before are still eternal due to legal processes... but we are continuing on with faith! We have found a new lady named Alicia who is really interested in the church and will be having a family night with her with the familia Mora (the family that lives right next door to us and that loves us and we love them... they are the BEST) so yeah. 

This morning I took care of my visa for the last time so I dont get kicked out of Mexico before December and then I had an interview with President Rodriguez. I dont necesarily want this published, but so ya´ll, my family know, he rewarded me this morning with an award called "Misionero Consegrado" with means "consecrated missionary". Its something I have been working for my whole mission, not for the recogniction, but to become consecrated, and he said that I have definitely accomplished it and that I deserve the reward. It basically is just private with him, but I also recieve a letter and pin. It was pleasing to be rewarded with such an honor. I hope to continue for the next 4 months as a consecrated missionary. That is my desire.

Well love you lots! I attached a picture of my new companion and then one of me making sure to drink all the filtered water .

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....
