Hello Beautiful people of the world! Transfers were this
week! President Smart decided to send out the information at 10 at night a day
early! So all 4 of us in our house went to bed at 9:30 after a hard days work
and woke up to 6 missed calls from our district leader at 10:25 that night. We
finally answered the 7th call when He let us know that we would be serving a
trio now! So Hermana Nelson (My current trainer) and Hermana Boston (the one
wearing a green bucket hat) are my companions for the next six weeks!
We are also saying goodbye to our beloved Hermana Cordova.
She is headed back to Utah this week :) Show her some love out there my Utah
Friends :)
On a more mission related note :) Our district had two
baptisms this week and it was an amazing experience. Jose and Gloria. I am so
proud of both of them for the decision they have made to become closer to
Heavenly Father by keeping commitments with the Lord. It has been full of ups
and downs. Jose at one point was about to stop taking the mission lessons
because he found a lot of anti-church literature on the internet. The other
sisters came to the lesson ready to teach him more when he pulled out a stack
of anti-church documents and pointed at them to explain all these questions
that he had. The sisters took a moment to breathe and then asked Jose a very
important question that we should all ask ourselves. "Are you going to
listen to the words of angry men and words of people who do not know all things
or are you going to listen to your Heavenly Father?" We don't know
everything and the people in the world don't either. We have resources to learn
more but we have the most important resource and that is prayer. Heavenly
Father knows everything. Trust in the words and advice and testimony he has and
will give you at every moment of your life. Doubt your doubts before you doubt
your faith. After hearing this question and seriously reflecting on it Jose
decided to continue his search for answers through prayer and inspired
resources. He wanted to listen to the words of his Father in Heaven over the
words of men. In silence Jose stood up and tour the documents of anti-church literature
into the garbage can. Jose has been baptized this week and in his own words,
"This is what I have always been looking for without knowing it"
The Chruch is True and Joseph Smith is a Prophet. If you struggle
to know or believe then search the scriptures and get on your knees to pray.
Heavenly Father will answer you.
