Hola Hola! Feliz Semana de Pascua! :) Espero que todos puedan recordar a Jesucristo y su resurrección durante esta semana santa. (Hello Hello! Happy Easter Week ! :) I hope everyone can remember Jesus Christ and his resurrection during this Easter.)
This week we were able to visit some new families. Some families that are part members... One member of the family is a menos activo, and the other is an investigador. I enjoy teaching PF (part member families) because its neat to have a perspective of another person who has been a member, and then realize how much they love the Gospel, and how the Gospel has helped them in the past.
This week we had a zone conference and training with Presidente Riggins and all of our zone and another zone. It was a great training! We always start our zone conferences with a trip to the temple, and a temple session. As always the temple was so nice, and i love being able to go and feel the love of God all around me. :)
After the temple we had our training for the WHOLE day. but it was good! we received some exciting news!! An apostle is coming to our mission in june!!!! but... we dont know who yet. presidente riggins knows, but he wont tell us! :) haha... so i guess we will find out a little later on!
Second big news... our schedule of our mission has changed!! (the horario que tenemos). Before, we woke up at 6:30, and prayed, excercised, showered, prepared, ate breakfast, and then at 8am we started our 4 hours of study... but now! its different. we have an extra half hour in the morning to prepare. because the nurses of our mission were finding that many people were skipping breakfast or exercise because there was not enough time. so now we have from 6:30-8:30am to exercise, get ready, eat breakfast, and then start our studies now at 8:30. i have to say im super excited for the change, and the little extra time we now have to exercise and eat a good breakfast! :) and im already feeling a little sore from the extra excersises! haha
Amalia, our recent convert is doing great! Yesterday she received the Holy Ghost (because the week before we had a stake conference). I was so happy to see her receive the Holy Ghost and be confirmed a member of the Church! :) it was such a neat experience! :) She is a wonderful woman. I feel so blessed to be able to teach her and watch her progress in the Gospel.
Also Michel (the investigator from Cuba) has his baptismal date planned for this saturday! ah! its kinda crazy, and this day came up fast! but he is a good guy, and progressing well. he reads ALL the time different things from the Church. He is always reading his Book of Mormon, Liahonas, the manual Gospel Principles, and all the pamphlets we give him. its great! so really he is studying and learning himself too. He even said he invited people through facebook to come to his baptism! :) we are excited for him and his fast progression. But i will say.. his accent is still a little hard to understand at times!!
I am so grateful to be a member of la Iglesia de Jesucristo de Los Santos de Los Ulitmos Días. i feel so blessed and so happy that i have this Gospel in my life. yesterday we were sharing with an investigator about baptism and the Holy Ghost. as my companion was sharing her experience of baptism, i was reminded of when Rachel was baptized, and how happy i felt that day for her and for my family. that day i felt the Spirit tell me that this Church is true, and that families can be together forever. As we talked to our investigator i was reminded of this experience and realized how sincerely grateful i am to be a member of this Church. the Gospel of Jesus Christ has brought me such happiness and hope throughout my life. Sé que el Evangelio de Jesucristo es verdadero y esta es la única iglesia verdadera en la faz de la tierra. Estoy muy agradecida ser una misionera en ecuador! :) (I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and this is the only true church on the face of the earth . I am very grateful to be a missionary in Ecuador ! :)
Les amo mucho!
