Hola a todos!!
Well, this week I'm pretty sure everything you could think of happened!
First of all, we have transfers and.. I'm off to GUAYANABO!! It's near San Juan,
so close to the mission home and from what I've heard it's definitely a lot more
city. But, we'll see what part we actually live. So no more ocean from what I
know, but a new atmosphere so we'll see what happens! Mi hija Hermana Lopez is
going to take on Arecibo, and she is going to do absolutely amazing!! She is
completely prepared and has a lot of work set out for her; but she definitely
won't be doing it alone because she is going to be in a TRIO!! Can you believe
that?? The mission has had a lot of changes, apparentely 24 missionaries are
going home this transfer and of course more are coming in!
I think Heavenly Father told me without me realizing it that I was going to
Guayanabo haha here is what happened! A contact had given us some pasta de
guayava which is from a fruit here and Hna Lopez asked me, What's this called?
Pasta de Guayanabo? Hahaha I was like, no Guayanabo is a city here! And the
crazy thing is, she's never heard of Guayanabo!! So as soon as she said that I
thought, haha that would be funny . . and it happened! So here we go :)
So talking about this week, like I said, we experienced a bit of
everything. A lot of success, a lot of rejection, a lot of small miracles, and a
lot of faith trying moments. But I've come to realize that really no matter how
many bad and hard moments there are, they just all seem to disappear as we focus
on the good we are given! And the Lord blessed us a lot this week.. because.. we
have a BAPTISMAL DATE with Kayla!!!!! Yayaya!! I've never seen someone so
willing to change and to be baptized! She is working for the 6th of June and we
are super excited :) Yes, it's going to be a little hard not to see it, but I am
confident that Hna Lopez is going to work miracles here! Also, we found 2 other
new investigators this week who are both willing to be baptized as well, how
great is that?? One is a college student who is truly looking for the truth, and
she told us that with just reading about the Restoration and some of the Book of
Mormon, she feels like she's found it. LIKE WHAT?! I am so excited for what
Heavenly Father has in store for Arecibo. I know He loves the people here and it
has been amazing to feel just a little bit of the love as a missionary!
I don't have too much time but we also had our Zone Conference this week
with Presidente Cornish, who is presidente of the Carribbean Area! It was
incredible and he gave us a lot of good ideas and tips to better work with the
members and how to help the investigators come to their own conversion. I
testify that the Lord speaks through His servants!! How grateful I am for
that.
Well, on to a new adventure! How amazing it is to know that no matter where
we are or where we go, that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is always the same!! So,
here I go to teach the people of Guayanabo! Wish me luck!!
Love,
Hermana Holt
