Last week was good, a little rough in the finding, teaching, and baptizing realm, but it's all in the process here. It's always hard to drop investigators that you have learned to love so much, trusting that God has a plan for them and for us as missionaries to find the chosen people that are prepared to accept the gospel. Dah well.
Tuesday we had Leadership Council with President and Hermana Bowler, the zone leaders, and the other Hermana Leaders. It was a really great meeting, focusing on teaching more effectively and how we can use the Book of Mormon as a tool of conversion. It is so important that the investigators understand our message before they can put it into practice, and if they can get a testimony and form a habit of reading the Book of Mormon they will truly be converted and will be able to be lifelong members! I have gained such a great testimony of that book, it has changed my life and I learn something new from it every day that I study from it.
Thursday, Friday, and today we took groups of hermanas to a sister in our ward to take their measurements for their pants! So that's almost a reality. It's always fun to be with our hermanas, they are a great group and we always have a great time.
Friday we had splits with the hermanas of Santa Lucia, one of which is on her second week here in the mission field. It was a strange moment for her to be asking me - who supposedly knows what I'm doing - for advice. She is a great missionary and is way more prepared than I ever was!
Yesterday your favorite viejita and mine, Hermana Edelina, completed 102 years! We got to visit with her a bit and bring her some of her favorite candy, which she loved.
That pretty much sums up the highlights. Have a great week! Love yah lots!
Go USA!!
