HELLOOOOO BEAUTIFUL
WORLD!
Welp Mckenzie is
ENGAGED. This is such wonderful news and I am so so so so happy for
Mckenzie and Jason. Ahhhh it’s just all so exciting I feel like its not
even really happening!
This week was awesome
though! We had dinner with one of my absolute favorite families in the Rama,
Los Corps Cruz. They are from Puerto Rico! All their kids are grown
and gone so its just Hermana Rosa Cruz and Hermano Carlos Cruz. She makes THE
BEST Puerto Rican food of all time.
Thursday we had an
actividad de la Sociedad de Socorro. Or a Relief Society activity for
Christmas at the Lopez' house! It was so fun. Sister Mitchell was able to meet
all the Hermanas and it was great.
Saturday we had a
lesson with **** *****! She is the 22 year old pregnant girl that has been in
America for about a year. She is so elect. We just went over there
so she how she was and she was so excited to see us and told us she has been
continually reading the Book of Mormon and so we decided to read Ether 12 with
her about Faith. She had so many comments and insights. I was in Awe....we
are going back tomorrow with a member. She really wants us to come over
Christmas day and see her! The only probably is that her novio or
boyfriend lives with her and has absolutely no interest in talking with us and
doesn't want anything to do with us. But doesn't care if we continue to
teach Ana. So we are praying!
Yes I am training!!
Although it was really sad to be separated, Sister West is now in
Altadena, a Spanish branch in Birmingham. Transfers was wonderful.
I LOVE THE ABM (Americas Best Mission) Sister M is my new
companion! She is from Roundrock, Texas, near Austin! But her family
moved to Orem, Utah when she just had a month left of high school so that's
where they are right now. She is so cute!!! Just little and has so much
energy and LOVES missionary work. After our first lesson/ tracting sesh
she just said "This is literally the best thing I have ever done!! How
cool was that lady that we talked to? She is so getting baptized." I
love, love, love her enthusiasm. It really is just contagious.
Honestly it is refreshing! Getting someone as a companion so new and just so
ready to learn. She never had Spanish before now so she is still
learning as are we all!! She is really into planning and being organized
and clean which is good because those things are just not me so I can
definitely learn from her and hopefully we can benefit from each other’s
strengths and what not! She loves purple and went to a year of BYUI
before she came out! She’s great and I am excited to continue to get to
know her and work with her this transfer!
This first week
training honestly has been draining! It’s been kinda slow but I am
excited for this week and after Christmas for the work to pick back up.
Emmaus Experience:
Tracting at
night. FREEZING. It was getting late so we start heading back to the
car. We see a guy walking so we go up and start talking to him. Turns out
he just lost his job and told us he could really use some upliftment right now.
BINGO. I just smiled and gave Sister Mitchell the eye that she got this
one. She turned to a scripture that I later found out she had read in
personal study that morning. It was in 3 Nephi talking about how God
knows our needs. How we should not fear what we should eat or what
clothes to wear because if we seek the kingdom of God FIRST then he will
provide all the rest. We testified of that and left him with a
prayer. It was a short and sweet little experience. The spirit
touched him. I know it. It was a cool experience of how personal
study is inspired and is not always for our benefit but for others.
Sister Mitchell is already a solid missionary.
So many other things
happened this week but just know that I love this GOSPEL!!!
I love missionary
work! I am SO SO SO SO excited to see you this week! Christmas is so soon!!
Lets make it the best year yet.
Love,
Hermana Moline
