December 21, 2015

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
