After skyping with you last week we had
dinner with Yoana! After dinner, it felt good to hit the streets again after
Christmas and having so many things going on this week. We visited our
investigator Yuriamy. We went to go pick her up but she wasn’t feeling good, so
we came back later to just check on her. She appreciated our concern as she let
us in her home and we talked for a good while. We left the home with a prayer
that she would feel better. Our message is that Christ
will comfort us when we must wait in distress for the Savior’s promised relief
that He knows, from experience, how to heal and help us. The Book of Mormon gives
us the certain assurance of His power to comfort. And faith in that power will
give us patience as we pray and work and wait for help.
I like visiting
people and let them know that Christ loves and cares! I always feel as the Lord
is pleased when we take care of the sick, afflicted and lonely. Also, we always
pray on ways how we could help our less active members. Speaking of which, the
zone leaders gave us a list of less active members and so we began visiting and
inviting them to return to church. I testify that there is nothing more important
than bringing people back to church, nurture and strengthen those that somehow have
been lost.
Also, we
also had a lesson with a man from Nigeria and I just love sharing the message about
Jose Smith, the need and importance of the restoration. Again, I bore my
testimony to this man about the sacred priesthood, our prophet Joseph Smith and
our living prophet Thomas S. Monson. I have witnessed how a sweet, pure and
simple testimony can bring the Spirit into our discussions. I have also come to
realize the importance of teaching together, testifying and complementing each
other’s thoughts! It’s wonderful to be part of this great work and I just love
it! That being said, I love to have the opportunity to share this knowledge
with everyone we come in contact!!
También! Para que
sepan la foto mia es cuando estaba preparando una pizza para las navidades. Es
verdad, Hermana Volpe prepara pizza y pasta casi todos los dias. Eso es super
divertido! Recuerden que ella es de Italia. Jajajha.
Hasta la
proxima semana….Muchos abrazos y besitos.

This is President & Sister Deere's daughter Annie and Hermana Arce, who we think looks an awful lot like Annie!
A few members in the Malaga Ward have mistaken her for Annie too. |
