My weekly this week is super short, but its Transfers!!! I am so lucky and my companion and I didn't get transferred. This letter this week is super short, but we had one new person being taught, who we started teaching Sunday night! Prayers were answered that night. We also finally had someone at church! Yay!!! Nothing else super new, just excited for this next transfer. My thought this week comes from Moroni 7. Its verse 41: "And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him..." I was shown this scripture after two weeks of not teaching anyone. It was frustrating and hard. But my companion reminded me that we have hope for a better future because of Christ. Its through His Atonement that we are able to change and the fact we can change is what gives us hope! I am forever grateful for that and fi...

Hola! So this week was a really good week! We didn't have anyone new that we are teaching, but we still had a good week anyways! We had another sad thing happen this week. We had someone else not want to meet with us. Remember N who was getting baptized? He ran into some stuff online that made him question what he was learning, so he has decided to stop meeting with us. That was really hard, but we just have to get back on our feet and keep moving forward. Other than that, nothing much has happened that I remember very well. I do want to say thank you to all of you who sent me emails this week! I love hearing about what's going on in your lives and your testimonies. It makes my days a bit lighter and the work seem easier. I do want to leave you all with a thought about prayer and what to do when we have questions. I have had experiences this week that have strengthened my testimony about God answering prayers. I have had some questions that not only have other people aske...

Hola! This week has been wonderful! We had a lot of amazing things happen this week, even though it's been a bit of a rough week finding wise. Remember N from last week? He's getting baptized on the 25th! We've met with him several times already this past week and we definitely believe that God led us to one of His elect! He has already said that he feels like he already has learned this before. (When he said that me and my companion looked at each other and nearly fell out of our seats.) We have also been in contact with a few other people as well and we have faith that at some point some of them will accept the fullness of the truth! We did have one sad thing happen, someone we were teaching (who we were sure was going to be baptized) told us that they didn't want to meet with us anymore. She and her husband really want to be on the same page spiritually and he's worried that won't happen if they go to different churches. We definitely miss teaching her, but...

Hi Everyone!! This has been a good week for us! Almost everyone we were teaching is gone, not responding, or in Mexico, but that's okay! Heavenly Father needed us to meet other people and focus on them. We met a man named N on a bus and gave him our number. He texted us later that evening then came to a New Years'  breakfast and the ward here loved him! Another person we found is this older woman named E! She's a grandma who met missionaries down in So. Cal. (Southern California) before she moved up here. We met her the day after she moved into her apartment, which is closer to ours. We really were supposed to meet them both.  We also had Zone Conference this week and it really focused on the new Missionary Handbook. It did come out last month, but because it was Christmas our mission president wanted us to focus on Light the World. I love this new handbook! It focuses so much love and common sense and how we can better be disciples of Jesus Christ. I walked out of that...
