Hola hola!! :) Espero que todos estén bien!
This week i received my new companion... Hermana Castillo. :) She is from Peru, and she is a convert of about a year and a half. She is 25 yrs old and so sweet! we are having a great time and learning lots together!
On Tuesday we received a training from Presidente Riggins before we received the new missionaries. he talked to us about the important assingment of a trainer and how we really have the opportunity to help a new missionary and help them learn how to be a missionary in the mission field. he talked about this assignment as being one of the most important assingments in the mission! :) wow i feel so honored and happy to be training again!
On Wednesday morning we went to the temple with all of the trainers and new missionaries and i as always i loved being in the temple! it is such a special place of peace and love and blessings. how grateful i am to know that we have a loving Heavenly Father who wants to bless us with all the blessings He can give us. :)
Then all day wednesday we received trainings from presidente and hermana riggins and the assitentes... and then at the end of the day i received my new companion hermana castillo!
on thursday was the first day in the mission field for hermana castillo, and it was great to watch her work and take the initiative to invite our investigatores to be baptized! she invited many people to be baptized (the goal of week 1) and did a great job!! We have some great investigators and great new investigatores that we found. we were able to visit them, and it amazes me each time as we talk to people, how some are so willing and open to come unto Christ and learn more about how they can change their lives through Christ.
On Sunday we had a great day in the church! 5 of our investigatores came and that made me soooo happy!! :) That night we were able to have a family home evening with the familia nunez, and that was so great. hermana nunez expressed her thanks for us and how we have helped her. But it really wasnt us!! it was her and Jesus Christ. She and her family have progressed so much and have really made Christ the center of their lives! :)
As ive reflected on this week, ive realized that when Christ is the center of our lives, we can be blessed with the blessings we need spiritual, and temporal. its amazing how God wants to bless us! We just need to be obedient, and He will bless us. DyC 130:21-22. i know He loves us so much. as we follow in the footsteps of Christ, and try to be more like Him, we receive more and more blessings, as a result of our obedience. Each day is a new day to be better, and work a little bit harder to follow in these footsteps. I am grateful for the opportunity i have each day to try and follow in His footsteps, as a representative of Jesus Christ.
Love you all!! have a great week!!! :)
con amor,
Hermana Warburton
