Week 48 - San Rafael

Buenas tardes todos! 

So this week was kinda actually super crazy. Hermana Tribe and I were given quite the surprise. I now am in a trio again! Tuesday President Wright called us and told us that a Hermana from South America had just gotten her visa and that the Lord had let him know it was good for us to be her companions for the last week and a half of this transfer. So we traveled to Santa Rosa on Thursday to pick her up and eat dinner with President and Sister Wright. It was awesome and I love them so much, our new companion is Hermana Soba! She is from Uruguay but has taken some English classes so she has a basis in English. We sure talk Spanish a lot more but that's great. Hermana Soba is also super awesome so excited, happy, and energetic. I'm not sure what will happen at transfers but I'm excited to work with her this week she's great.

This week we were able to visit with Jairo some more! We were able to have a member with us at the lesson and it was so awesome. Our member and Jairo really clicked, we showed the Christmas video and talked with him about Christ. Having a member at lessons is the greatest! It lead into keeping the Sabbath day holy and he understood completely why we do need a day of rest each week. It was so great and at the end of the lesson he told us he really wanted to be more involved and that soon things were going to calm down for him, so he would be able to. He also told us he wants to set aside 15 min each day to read the Book of Mormon. It was exciting the lord sure does prepare people and the small blessings that are in each day are amazing.

We began the initiative this week! On Tuesday we went to central San Rafael and had a bunch of chalk and pass along cards. We talked to everyone that would stop and asked them how they are going to light the world this Christmas season.  They would take the chalk and write how they would light the world on the sidewalk. It was pretty fun, some people were super rude but others super nice, so that was a party, we were able to talk to quite a few people!  It's activities like that, that give you hope and take all hope for humanity haha.

Also this week was mlc (mission leadership conference) that I attended with the other STL in our zone. It was a super long meeting where president and sister wright taught with the APs and other people. It was such an awesome meeting, like so good. Very inspiring and now we bring it back to our zones and teach about what we learned, I was so excited to be able to go and I got to see Hermana Bennett and Hermana Garcia and so many others. So it's been a pretty crazy week but a very good one. 

Well I love you all so much and thank you for all your support. This week I would like to bear testimony about just how great the gift of the Holy Ghost it. After we are baptized we can receive the CONSTANT companionship of the Holy Ghost who can guide and protect us. He is our best friend and is there at all times we are worthy to have him. It's so great to know that when I'm doing the right things I can have a spirit with me that knows me personally and can guide me on the path back to our Heavenly Father! Love you all lots!

Que tenga un buenísimo semana. 

Gracias
