Hola a todos!!
Well, transfers are tomorrow and guess what..?? I'M GOING TO BE
TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And my cute Hermana Lara is headed for Trujillo
Alto!!! We are SUPER shocked but at the same time we felt that there was a
change coming.. Hahaha of course I am completely shocked because I was NOT
thinking training!! But at the same time, I'm super excited! Wow. Ah!!! Tomorrow
we have a meeting for all the trainers and then I should be picking my
"daughter" up at like 5 or so. I'm so excited to meet her!!
This past week we had our Zone Conference and it was AMAZING!! I love being
a missionary so so much, I just want to be a missionary forever!! There are
still so many things I need to learn and so many things I want to accomplish!!
I'm praying that in these next 7 months I'll be able to do that! We focused a
lot on our purpose as missionaries and the word invite. As we continually
invite others to come unto Christ, we are able to help them change and use the
Atonement of Jesus Christ! Hermana Boucher also talked to us about Family
History and the book called My Family. Get it and fill it out!! In these next
months we are going to be trying as missionaries to focus on our Family History
(obviously we can't do a lot) - but we each received a copy of My Family and
began filling it out!! We felt the Spirit of Elias SO much and I testify that it
is real! How loving is our Heavenly Father that we are able to do the work for
our ancestors? That we are able to also learn about them and link families
together for eternity? I just love it all! And I'm not sure if I told you last
week but a contact contacted us and is super interested in doing her Family
History and we've already been able to visit with her and has been in contact
with members about the Family History Center we have at our ward building. How
cool?! It's such a great way to bring others to the Restored Gospel. And really,
doing Family History is SO important and really should be big apart of our
lives. And I love something that Hermana Boucher said, that as missionaries we
are a apart of the Work of Salvation, not just Missionary Work!
This week we had a miracle! Haha well after the Zone Conference we felt
like we were just on a spiritual high! We were invincible haha! Right after we
had a lesson with an investigator that we weren't sure if she was progressing or
if she really had a lot of interest.. but we taughet her the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and it went SO well! She was super receptive and paid a lot of attention
and everthing!! So at the end of the lesson I had the impression to invite
her... Invite her to what?? So, I just looked at her and said, Theresa, when you
pray and come to know that these things are true, will you follow the example of
Jesus Christ and be baptized by someone who holds the authority of God?
....silence..... then she says, YES!! Uhhh huh?! Haha it was SO cool!! We
haven't set up a date but we have a lesson with her this week so we're praying
it goes well!!
We continue to see little blessings and miracles every day. How grateful I
feel to wear the missionary plaque that says his name, Jesus Christ. Wish me
luck this week with the transfers!! I'm a little more than sad that Hermana Lara
is leaving - she has taught me so many things and I am forever grateful for her
example! But I know she is going to work miracles throughout her mission! The
mission continues and I hope and pray that now I'll be able to help my new
daughter see how much I love and the Lord loves Arecibo!! Have a great week
everyone!!
Love,
Hermana Holt
