Things have been really good this week. Last week was just so hard and stressful, but this week things really picked up and I'm really excited for this transfer. I just love it here. It is a really good area and we are working so hard. Hermana Clements is a really good example to me. She is ALWAYS working. She is an obedience NUT! But it’s really great because we both feel a ton better when we work as hard as we can and Heavenly Father provides us with more blessings. This week has been a true testimony to that. I love the ward too. There are some crazies, but I love them! There is this recent convert named Gustavo. He is so cute! Every Sunday he meets us in the hallway after sacrament meeting, holds up a bag full of treats and say "Bendiciones! " He is always looking out for us. He just recently received the priesthood and has been blessing the sacrament. Every time I can’t help but smile. The ward is really supportive of him and all the recent converts. He has also been sharing the gospel with everyone. He gave us the numbers of two of his friends yesterday. I love him so much, he reminds me of Roger. It's nice to feel so close to people here like the people I love back home. There is also a couple that work in the temple that feed us every Sunday. I really love the husband, he told us his conversion story yesterday. He is so great. His wife scares me....she's a little fuerte....She told the elders to make the message short because she wanted to go to bed:)
I did get released as sister training leader. We have a small zone here with only three companionships of hermanas, they took a companionship out, so there is only need for one STL in my zone and Hermana Costiogla has more experience than I do. It is actually a load off my mind and I feel like I can relax a little and focus on building up our poor little area.
Yep, we are right across from the plaza and next to the library. It really is so cute and they have everything all decorated for Christmas. There are two huge Christmas trees and a big nativity scene set up. We are going to pradillo (the town square) today to check out all the stands and take pictures. It is like the fair in West Valley. It makes me miss home.
Hermana Clements and I have been talking to everyone like crazies! We even talk to the scary old Spaniards and Jovenes! We have really funny stories from those experiences. We have been trying more to involve Christmas more into our contacting. It is interesting how much more open people are to listen to you when you share a message about Christ...or tell them you want to sing them a Christmas song:) We are doing really good though. I don't think I need anything in particular right now:)
I love this time of year in Utah. Everything looks so beautiful. That’s really cool that you were able to hear the madrigals. There aren't very many this year that’s really surprising.
Blessings from Heaven! A guy sitting next to us right this very moment gave us his number because he wants to know more about our church. We didn’t even have to do anything! Crazy!
Thank you so much for the family history stuff, It helped a lot! This whole experience has really helped me realize I need to do more of that when I get home. It is so important and will help us be together as a family sealed together with our Father in Heaven.
Thanks for everything. I sure love you. I have needed a lot of your support these past couple of weeks and I have surely been blessed . Thank you for being there and for being an example to me. I love you and I can't wait to talk to you!
