ANO NUEVO VIDA NUEVA // week 70
9:04 PM
Hello everyone. Happy 2017! That's crazyyyyy. I cant believe I
lived all of 2016 as a full time missionary. It is definitely a year I will
remember forever and one that has shaped my life and will continue to do so.
This week was a good one.
Monday we had an hermanas pday and watched 17 miracles. It is a
really good movie. My comp was sick so she rested in the evening. Seems like
our companionship can't kick getting sick.
Tuesday i have no idea what happened. Oops....
Wednesday we had a cool experience with a prayer. On tuesday
when we were planning we prayed that we would be guided to find a new
investigator. And our prayers were answered! We went to go visit an
investigator of ours but she wasn't there... sad day. But her brother, Carlos,
was. So we shared a message with him and he stopped us and said, "Im
feeling something with you right now. I want to feel this again." So we
are going to teach him! Whoop whoop!
Thursday I went on exchanges with Hermana Guerra and I was able
to go back to my beloved Arbor! Oh my it was wonderful it felt like I had never
left because I remembered it so well. I was able to see some awesome members
that I have missed and then miracle of the week for me. I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE
QUINTANILLA FAMILY AHHHHHH we were knocking on their door and I had my face
against the door just begging them to open up, we weren't sure if they were
even home, but they opened. It was so good seeing all of them. I wasn't able to
see Yesenia though. That's okay I will soon. I cant believe its been a year
since they were baptized. Oh how I love and miss them so much. So it was a
great reunion.
Friday we had district meeting. It was good. Always interesting
with our elders but we were able to learn from them. Then we did weekly
planning and we got that done in one session. Then in the evening I felt like
we really needed to go visit the Burrola family and we did. We talked to them
for a but then shared a message and the hermana said to us "hermanas you
were an answer to my prayers thank you." I love moments like that.
Saturday NEW YEARS EVE. We walked from noon to 5 pm and visited
people. It was good, and suuuppperrrr cold. Had another tender mercy when we
met Kevin in one of the trailer parks. Started talking to him and he is
actually a member, but super inactive. And we talked and testified of the Book
of Mormon and he accepted one with tears in his eyes. The gospel. Its true. It
changes people. In the evening we met up with our district and watched Finding
Dory. Super cute. And it was a lot of fun. We played some games after and just
enjoyed ourselves.
Sunday. HAPPY NEW YEAR. Man thats crazy. Good day at church and
we did some visits. Over all good day.
Good week. Cant believe that it is 2017. That just means that we
get this next year to even become better than who we were in 2016. So go keep
those new year resolutions everyone! Love you all. Have a great
week!
