Hola a todos!
Well, I forgot my mission planner and now I feel like I can't remember
anything that happened in the week haha.. but can we just start with GENERAL
CONFERENCE?!?! Did you guys just LOVE it?? I definitely did, it was amazing! I
can't even explain how grateful I am that we have a living prophet and apostles
who guide us here in these last days. Their words are truly inspired words from
our Heavenly Father!! I hope everyone will take time to read and study their
talks again once they come out. I know that we can all improve on something and
that as we pray to Heavenly Father, He will help us to know what to do and where
we can improve! It was absolutely incredible, and I testify that ANY question
that we have, we can gain our answers through Conference - through the words of
living prophets and apostles. My questions were answered and so I know yours
will be too. Wow!! I just can't get over it haha I'm pretty sure that us
missionaries haven't stopped talking about it since yesterday!
So the work was a little bit slower this week, but we were able to contact
a lot more people and we have some potentials, so hopefully this week will be
better in lessons! This week I had exchanges with Hermana Ramos and it was so
fun! She is absolutely hilarious and has no fear when it comes to talking to
people haha and I mean none!! Haha I have been so blessed to work with sister
missionaries who have no fear speaking, it has helped me a ton! In the process
of the exchange I was introduced to two new less actives that we were able to
teach, so we are super excited to work with them! One is a sweet family of 5 who
actually got baptized about a year ago or so, but they are super humble and we
are praying really hard that they will have the desire again to come to church!
They have a daughter who is 16 who is more willing than the others, but we are
hoping that we will be able to help the parents feel the spirit. The other one
is an older lady and she actually got baptized into another church... last
saturday... but! She lets the missionaries into her house so we'll see what
happens!! Haha faith, right?
So do you know how in the hymn I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go it says,
"...over mountains or plains or sea.."? Well, this week we DEFINITELY
walked over mountains. Haha well what happened was, the other Hermanas told us
that there was a road they hadn't been on that was now in our part of the area
and that one day we should see what there is. Haha so we did.. oh my goodness it
was literally just a one way windey road for miles in the mountains!! There were
some houses a long the road thank goodness but it was insane!! As we kept going
and going and going we ended up in an area called Rio Cañas Arriba which when
you take the main road, is about 20 min IN CAR from where we live... and we got
there through the mountains!!! Yeah, my body has been pretty tired this week,
but all the hard work comes with the name tag, right? So it's definitely worth
it!!
Well, I hope everyone has a good week, my time is limited this week because
the Library is full so they are kicking us off! I love you all!!
Love,
Hermana Holt
