Hola a todos!!
Well, transfers are here anndddd I'm STAYING in Guaynabo!!! We kinda
guessed it but we were surprised to find out that Hna Ahlander is headed to
Humacao! I'm a little sad - she is seriously one of the funnest sister
missionaries ever and we've gotten along SO well, but at the same time I'm super
duper excited for her because it's her first change in the mission; I know she's
going to go on to work miracles in the mission, how grateful I feel to have been
her companion. She has taught me SO much!!
This week was definitely a lot better and we are seeing some progress!
Quenia ALMOST made it to church this week! We stopped by to see how she was
doing and she just says, Sisters I want to go to church this week! ... WHAT?! Is
this not the less active that just two weeks ago and told us straight up that
she wasn't ever planning on coming back? I seriously just wanted to cry in that
instant. She has been trying so hard to change and has made a lot of progress!
The Relief Society sisters had started this week reading the Book of Mormon in
90 days and when we told her about it, she got right on! She's super strong and
I have learned a lot by her example. For health reasons she didn't make it this
Sunday but there is always the next! Prayers for her!
Our dear Maria is believing more and more every time we stop by - she's
like a living miracle! We LOVE her! She told us this week that she really
believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet, wow! We keep pushing her with love to
come to church and know that someday she will make that step. I know that she's
been feeling the Spirit more and more, and I know that he will give her the
nudge she needs :)
NEW INVESTIGATORS!!!!! WOO!! Don't you just love those two words? I do! One
of them is Marcy who is actually the friend of Cecilia! One day when we were
teaching Cecilia she was there and told us that we can stop by anytime, so we
definitely took that invitation! She's really Catholic but she's super sweet and
willing to listen. We taught her about the Family Proclamation this week and she
really liked it so that's a start!
The other is Rosa! Ohh Rosa, she is AWESOME! She's the contact I think I
mentioned last week.. well anyway, she has a LOT of potential and she's really
looking for some spiritual guidance, and I know where she can get that from!!
The only hard thing is that she talks a ton.. haha which is super good to get to
know her but it's a little bit more complicated to teach! But we are super duper
excited for her! I know Heavenly Father put her into our path for a reason, and
the amazing thing is that Rosa recognized that too!
Well, the church is true everyone! I realize that more and more everyday as
I share that with the people here! That's the awesome thing that happens when we
share our testimonies, it is strengthened! I testify that God loves us and He
truly knows us better than we know ourselves. We are His children! And what
Father doesn't want the best for His children? He has a perfect plan for us and
as we faithfully and willingly follow that plan, He will guide us to greater joy
and happiness than we could have ever imagined! Have a great week!
Love,
Hermana Holt
