Hola familia y amigos!
It’s so-o-o-o ccccccoooldd here--my fingers are
cold typing on this keyboard. This week, specially, I had to bring out the hat
and gloves since the temperatures have dropped considerably!
And yes, Hermana Crockett is going home this Wednesday
and my new companion will be Hermana Volpe and she is from Italy. I hope my
Spanish improves with her. So far, I hear that she’s been on the mission for 6
months and I’ve been on mine for 4. So we are both fairly new. I am
excited though to learn more things and work with her.
On a separate note, all that I own appears to be
falling apart. My jacket ripped, along with my sweater, and skirt and both my Spanish-English
scriptures spine where the pages are bound is coming lose—I am like—Oh my
goodness! But it’s okay because I bought some super glue and I will do some
sewing today. All is well… You see, I have learned that when something becomes
weak, it does not necessarily mean is bad item or person; but that it gives
them the opportunity to put their Trust in the Lord and make their weak things
become strong. Just like all my items, you can always apply the gospel to
everyday things! Neat huh?
A new member was baptized this Saturday, so we had
two members receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. One of the members was blessed
to go and serve a mission (because he is only 20 years old) and has a strong
testimony. His parents came to his baptism and I know he will be such a good
example to his family and friends! Our friend from Belgium is still awesome as
ever! She is even trying to share the gospel as well with people.
I have to go until next week. “Les Quiero Mucho!!
