Wow! What a
week! Monday and Tuesday were both extremely busy trying to prepare for
transfers and visiting everyone before Sister Osmond left! We had a
lesson with Holly on Tuesday morning and the whole rest of the day was booked
until 9 at night but we found out that we would actually be leaving at 7 at
night instead of Wednesday morning! It was crazy! On Wednesday
morning they had a really neat special training for the trainers. I am
grateful for the opportunity to train because it is teaching me SO much!
It was such a special experience! I was able to play the piano for it and
I'm just grateful to be a missionary! We sang called to serve and all of
the new missionaries walked in and faced the trainers. When I came down I
was just wondering which one of them is going to be my new companion??
Well, my new companion is Sister Calderon from Midland, Texas! She is so
wonderful and such a great gospel teacher! I love being her companion and
truly it has been a great learning opportunity for me this week! It
hasn't been easy but I am learning so much and am grateful for Sister
Calderon!
As a mission we have an
apostle, a seventy, and another General Authority coming to our mission on
March 21st and we have been preparing by doing a forty day fast! We have
been
Feasting upon the words
of Christ, reading the Book of Mormon and Preach my Gospel everyday
Acting in obedience
Sanctifying through the
sacrament
Testifying with our feet
to prepare for it!
We are so excited! We just found out that 2 families with recent converts
from exactly a year ago are preparing to be sealed on our ward temple trip day,
March 14th!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so exciting!!!!!!!! This is a really
big day for the ward here! Ebony, a recent convert, is preparing to go to
the temple for the first time along with a lot of the other recent converts and
some returning less actives we have been working with! It is such a big
day and we are so excited!!!!!!!!!!! When we started focussing our recent
converts on the temple it really motivated them!
We saw a lot of little
tender mercies this week. We invited Thaina to be baptized on a specific
day and were able to see Joleen and Faith again. We started working with
a few new people and met a girl named Becky. I have to go now but I love
you all!!! Have a great week! I know that this church is
true! And I know that our Savior loves us SO much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never forget that! There is great power in the pure love of
Christ!
