I love reading Eric's emails and think it is so cool that
we get to share this experience together. I can't wait until we are both out in
the field at the same time! It is crazy that he leaves the MTC so soon. The
rest of the mission will only get better. :)
This has been such a busy week. My
companion is sure teaching me how to work hard, shes the best! Transfers are
next Monday and I have a feeling that I might be leaving this area, especially
because I have been here my whole mission. I am still the youngest Spanish
speaking sister in our mission but we have two new ones that are finally coming
next week.
This week we had many great lessons. We are teaching
xxxx, and she talked her mom into listening to us too. Both of them are great!
Her mom changed her work schedule so that she can come to church on Sundays. We
hadn't even asked her to do that yet and she did it on her own. They both want
to be baptized and were talking about it once we left and xxxx's little brother
who is 9 heard them. He asked his mom if he can be baptized too. He is planning
on coming to the lessons from now on so that they can all prepare together. I
love seeing the people we are working with progress and change and seeing how
happy it makes them. I think one of my favorite parts of the mission is being
able to see the change when people accept the gospel into their lives.
We had
another great lesson with one of our single adults. Her sister who is 20 sat in the lesson with us and it went really well.
They didn't see the importance of baptism again since they have already been
baptized into the xxxx church. She has received an answer and knows that
the Book of Mormon is true though. We have explained the restoration and the
authority many times, but this time basically told them straight out that the
xxxx church doesn't have the authority to baptize. We asked them to pray to
know if they should be baptized again into this church. We have never been so
bold, but I think they finally understood and agreed to pray about it. They both
want to come to church on Sunday, and said that what they have learned from us
makes more since than the xxxx church. I just hope they really do pray
about and come to church because I know that they will feel different here.
A
couple of nights ago we were talking to people as we were on our way back to
the car. We started talking to three guys standing outside and taught them a
quick lesson. After, one of the guys looked at me and he was talking really
fast. I thought he asked, "Are you married?" But he really said,
"Do you believe in marriage?" I said "no". Lets just say it
was really awkward and I am thankful for a companion who fixed what I said!
Haha!
Eric I'm glad you liked the package. I'm so proud of you!
Anyway, time to go play soccer with my zone! Woo! Have a great week!
Love you all so much! :)
