October 28 - Happy Halloween, Almost

Hola Familia,

 

Happy Halloween to you too. My new companion is Hermana Howell. We were in the MTC together. No it is just me and her. I'm not training, I am still driving. Tiwi is good, hasn't yelled at me for a while. 

My hair is fine. I don't need a cut or color yet but when I do I'll let you know. One thing that I probably could use is a new El Libro de Mormon because my book of Mormon has been breaking because I use it so much. :) 

We are getting dinner invitations. For meals, it is the basic Mexican meal beans, rice, tortillas, but I can't wait to make chili rellenos for y'all because they are my favorite thing to eat. 

No I haven't had to talk in church yet but I do participate in Gospel Principles and Sociedad de Soccorro (Relief Society). I haven't shared my testimony on fast and testimony Sunday because mostly the members take up the whole time, which is a good thing. 

My Spanish is getting better.   I think when I do go back to school, I will minor or double major if it is possible in Spanish and the health stuff. 

The missionary work is going good. We are reknocking doors that I have already knocked or that other missionaries that I know have knocked. Because there isn't a lot of Spanish work in this area, we only have pockets. 

Thanks for the article. Don't worry about a camera I just bought a new one so it will be good. Now I can send you pictures!!  Look forward to those next week. :) 

This week we taught a lot of lessons but one miracle that I want to share is with one of our investigators named Humberto. We have taught him everything and we were really stressing the importance of coming the church. When we began he told us that he didn't want to have a church tour. But we asked him yesterday and told him that we had the time to take him and HE ACCEPTED!!!  SO exciting. We were on the verge of dropping him because there wasn't anymore we could do if he didn't come to church. So we committed him to come to church next Sunday and he said that he would.

 

One thing that I learned that was interesting this week. During my studies I have been studying a lot about the Restoration of the Gospel in my Preach My Gospel manual. I have been reading in the Book of Mormon too.  One thing that I discovered is that in Alma 18 you could sum up Preach My Gospel in two pages. I also discovered that when we were baptized we took upon ourselves a covenant to Preach the Gospel. We were called as missionaries at the age of eight years old. We didn't have to be set apart or reach the ages of 18,19,20,21. When baptized, we promised God that we would share the gospel.  When we share the gospel, that is when we are truly converted to this Work. So when we share the gospel we are showing God and Christ that we are truly converted to the gospel.

 

I'll write more in my snail mail

Love y'all
