Hello family!
We are currently experiencing a bit of a rainy day. Which fits semi well with the fact that I've had a head cold the past day and a half. It's so not fun! But we continue onward (with tissues and hand sanitizer).
Life is just swell as a missionary. Our investigators are doing well. None of those with baptismal dates came to church :( But we did have a good lesson with Lucia and Jose Luis last night. We hadn't taught Jose Luis in about 2 weeks so it was really good.
Yesterday was just a little crazy because we ran into 2 other Spanish sisters. That's not normal. Our areas aren't supposed to overlap. Apparently there is a fair amount of confusion about the area lines up here, because of the change this past transfer. So....Lucia and Jose Luis may or may not be in our area. We shall see.
We have not seen Gilberto and Odoria again.... :( It's really sad when investigators get "lost". We will continue praying and planning and checking on them. And we shall see.
I know that this is the work of the Lord and even though it is not always easy, it is so worth it! We are helping others have the great joys of the gospel that we have enjoyed all our lives, like Mom said. It really is a different little world that we live in. With it's own vocabulary :)
We have been teaching a male investigator, Marcos, in the home of a member family in his neighborhood. Well, we've only done it once but have another lesson set up this evening. It's so nice to go into a peaceful place where the Spirit already is. He has many questions, but is open and wants to understand. It is exciting.
We are getting really excited for conference. We'll head to the stake center to watch the braodcasts live (9 am and 1 pm). We are working to get others excited about it as well. This is when we get to hear directly from the prophet of the Lord! What a great blessing. We are also going to invite our investigators to write down some questions they have then listen in conference for the answers. It's pretty neat how it works.
We are getting to know more of our members and they are pretty great! It is exciting to have strong members. We are planning to help them become even more excited about missionary work. (naturally) That's so great to hear about the baptims in the home ward! Keep up the great work, Mesa Park. Members truly are so essential to the success of the work. We don't just want people to be baptized - we want them to become faithful members who are preparing for eternal life and exaltation. And we missionaries move often so have to leave them in the hands of the ward members.
We have zone conferences every 6 weeks (approx.) and President Brady is from Orem, Utah. I am keeping a budget, Dad. Don't you worry.
I love you all very much! I know the Savior lives and wants to help us. I LOVE the phrase "come unto me" and am marking it in my scriptures. He says that to everyone, no matter what. So then we just have to put in our effort and go to Him. And oh the peace and joy we experience.
Love,
Hermana Green
