Hola
Familia Mia!!
Wow I can´t
believe how fast time is passing! It’s incredible! It is almost Christmas, this
year has really flown by.
So first of
all-- I have great news from Chimbote!! Hno Roger baptized his son Jose Luis. I
was so so so happy to hear this. I can´t believe how well they are doing. They
are truly converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Also I hope
you had a great thanksgiving! We sure did. We celebrated with Papa Johns and
Mangos! It is always a great time to spend focused on what we are
grateful for. I hope we can all be more grateful all year round. Can you
imagine how great our lives would be if we were always in a state of gratitude.
We would be looking for the blessings not the problems. What are you grateful
for? I´m grateful for Peru, the mission, my family, and all of the
wonderful things God has given me.
Today Hna
Langi went home. It was quite sad, but it wasn´t as hard leaving her as it has
been my other companions. California is a lot closer than Nicaragua or Lima.
But we had a great time together and we made lots of good memories.
Remember
when I told you about our wards here in Trujillo were being put together, and
there were four missionaries in our ward. Well with changes President has
decided to take out two of the missionaries. And it’s not the Hermanas. So
yes.... along with Hna Langi leaving the elders are being taken out as well. So
Yes I am being left with two huge areas and with a new companion. Yea, lots of
hard work, but it will be good, we’ll have a lot of great investigators.
So my new
companion will be hna Cevallos. She is from Ecuador, and we had the same
trainer. So in mission language we are sisters. It’s quite funny. But it should
be an interesting week, we are going to be walking a lot and exploring our new
area.
So that is
all that I really have to report on, I have learned a lot these past
couple of weeks, of how I can be a better missionary and a better person. That’s
what the mission is for, right? Every day, Every Investigator, Every Companion.
It’s a learning process. I am learning and I know that I am so far from the
kind of person I want to be. I love that we have the opportunity to repent and
to come unto Christ. CADA DIA (EVERY DAY)! I am so grateful for the atonement
and for the opportunity I have to be in this learning process.
