Dearest familiares,
So, guess what!? We moved! Yes! I´m so happy too. We moved from an apartment that had paint falling off the walls, no hot water and plumbing problems to a way better apartment. and it is awesome because there is a whole bunch of storage space so everything can be way more organized! :) Now we just have to travel further to get to the church, but still, it is so worth it. Now we just have to clean 2 apartments instead of only one. haha Weird story, when we were organizing some things in our apartment i came across an english hymn book that was left behind. the funny thing was that when i saw the word "hymns" i was like, "that looks weird. it looks wrong. i looks like it is missing a letter" haha i´m just super used to the spanish hymn books that say "himnos"
And my companion is awesome because she is willing to wake up at 6am with me so that we can go running. So for this week we are going to see how 3 times this week works. We have so much stuff to do, so the past week we were getting up at 6am (after being sick for a while i hadn´t been getting up at 6am...so now i am again, but my companion is too.) to work on stuff that we have to do. i´m excited to start running a little bit again. i´m super out of shape. speaking of running, that is cool that you saw coach shane.
Yesterday was a fun day because Francisco our investigator accepted the law of tithing which at first was difficult for him. Also, he hasn´t smoked for 1 week now and is getting baptized this coming saturday! :) He is awesome (un capo)! And we got to eat lunch with a missionary family that came to our branch on sunday. It is always fun to be other missionaries, they feel like family.
oh and we also finally completed with our goal of 15 lessons with members in one week. it has been a battle the last couple months, slowly getting better, but it was so nice to finally get there. we are hoping and praying that we can keep the members involved. things are turning around here and i´m hopeful for the future. my companion is great and is helping a lot and i´m super grateful to my Heavenly Father that she is my companion.
i have seen how Heavenly Father answers prayers but in ways that are very unexpected. but i know that He does answer. and i had a really cool experience this week that built my testimony of our prophet Thomas Monson. i know that he is a prophet and i love being able to see how things change in the church according to the prophets and how they receive revelation. love this gospel. it is the truth.
ok, lots of love,
sarah
p.s. becky, i´m really hoping and praying that you will recover quickly. just know you are in my prayers. love you!
