Praying For Spanish

I AM SO HAPPY FOR KYLE!!!! Seriously I tell pretty much everyone about his call. He is going to do awesome! I put that picture as the background of my phone haha. 

 

 

This was one of the busiest and craziest weeks of my mission! But in a good way.

 

 

Last week for pday, we lost a bet so our zone leaders got to smash pies in our faces. It was pretty funny haha. Then that night we met up at the beach with our investigator Jack and taught a mini lesson before the bonfire. It was super fun and he was talking to everyone having a good time. 

 

 

We had zone conference this week! It was my second to last one ever and it was super sad. The missionaries that are leaving this transfer gave their "dying testimonies'' which is their last testimony to the mission before they leave. It is weird to think that i'll be doing that next time. Time is going by too fast. I love zone conference because we always feel so spiritually uplifted and ready to go be better missionaries. 

 

 

So each transfer all the missionaries I'm the stake have a breakfast with the stake president and we talk about the work and how we can improve. He came up to me while everyone was eating and asked me if I would be willing to teach the female hispanic investigators and less active in the spanish branch. I nearly cried. I was so excited. I had been praying for more opportunities to speak spanish and be more involved and I was blessed! I haven't started yet technically but this week I should start teaching them. So excited :)

 

 

We picked up a guy named Ben as our new investigator. He seems pretty cool but don't know a ton about him at the moment. 

 

 

We had back to back exchanges this week which was SO incredibly exhausting physically and mentally. We had a bunch of service and it's hard being the person that has to help people correct behavior. Not my favorite but I have to do it. 

 

 

Jack has not been progressing this week. He doesn't see the need to get baptized and thinks that a person can just say they believe in Jesus and that's all they have to do. We have tried everything we know but in the end it will all work out and be according to God's will. 

 

 

Saturday was the best day EVER! In the morning we drove to the temple and 2 of my recent converts from Temecula for the first time! It was so cool to see them progress and be excited about doing baptisms for their ancestors. After that we went back to San Marcos (My first area) and had dinner with one of my favorite families! From there we went to the baptism of one of my old investigators from that area! That was awesome too, super cool to see how much the gospel has changed them and me!! 

 

 

I love this work. I love being a missionary! I love you all, have a great day!!
