Transfers

Buenas tardes!! ¿Como le va?

TRANSFERS!

i have been transferred to a new zone and new area of ecuador! we left early this morning to travel to guayaquil and get our new companions! i am now in a zone very close to guayaquil It is very much a city type area. there are lots of houses and gated communites. sooooo different than my last sector!! My new companera is Hermana Childs. :) and crazy enough... we both went on the Utah Ambassadors of Music trip to Europe about 2 years ago, and when we found out we were companions it was a miracle! She is so sweet and im excited to work with her!! :)

But for my expereinces last week in Quevedo....

We got a new investigator, Angel Rodriguez. He is so great! His story and how he found the church is kind of crazy, and truly a miracle. He wanted to change his life and become a better person, and so he went to attend a Jehovah Witness church, but the taxista accidently took him to the LDS Church. And when he was there he knew that God had sent him there, and it was the right thing. He has such a desire to learn and to change, and he is so grateful for the missionaries. We taught him the first lesson about god and the Restauracion, and he accepted a baptismal date for this month! and he even attended church this past Sunday all by himself! wow! 

I had another intercambio with the hermana leaders in my zone on friday, and it went really well too! I helped teach one of Hermana Rebolleta´s investigators- Arturo- the Restoration, and he was so touched when we read James 1:5 and shared the First Vision. he started crying when we presented him with a baptismal date and plan, and kept saying througout the whole lesson that he wanted to be baptized! wow! it was so neat to see how the Spirit touched him, and helped him know of the truth. The scriptures are so powerful, and like Jose Smith, Arturo was so touched by this scripture in James.

I know this Gospel is true and it really can help people change. Only through Jesus Christ can we be clean, and really change. He loves us so much, and is always waiting and willing to help us through anything. It is amazing to see the hand of God in everything. He truly has a plan, and it amazes me everytime, when i am able to see the result of things, and a greater aspect of His plan.

Thank you so much for all of your love and prayers. I know that God truly does hear and answer our prayers. Thanks so much! Until next week! :)

Les amo,

Hermana Warburton

PS-- On a funny note... this week we were walking down the street, and there were these kids playing soccer, probably 7 or 9 years old. and when one of the little kids saw me he said in a awed voice "Angelito". hahahah me and the other member who was accompanying us died laughing when we passed!! hahahaha
