"Ya comieron???"
BUENAS TARDES Me encanta la navidad. :)
It's been kinda an intense and busy week, it's been super awesome!
We went on exchanges. I had Sister Evans with me and it was so fun. I taught her to pray in Spanish and she tried to participate as much as the language barrier allowed. We visited Pedro who speaks some English and he thought she finished the prayer and said "AMEN," and then continued talking. I was about to cry it was so funny. The exchange was just fullllll of miracles. We had our follow up lesson with Faby and Ingrid. They made us amazing food! And we talked and answered so many of their questions. It's really cool to see how even though they are in a very unique situation, God has really prepared them. We went again on Saturday and they had their 4 housemates there too. All 6 of them came to church and it was awesome.
Hermana Bechtold and I got super cool revelation this week. We have just been able to bounce so much off each other and had this big list of things that we wanted to find out or improve in our area and in our zone. We had a devotional with Brother Brough from the General Young Men’s Presidency. One by one, he addressed everything we'd been thinking and worrying about. The Spirit was so strong in that meeting and we felt like the spirit just edified everyone so much.
They changed our branch presidency on Sunday! After 5 1/2 years Presidente Acosta was released and they put in Presidente Segura. We are stoked and sad. It's all good things. It's going to be so cool to see how much Presidente Segura can do and the miracles that will come. I had to translate the meeting for the stake visitors. I am very familiar with translating English to Spanish, ohhhhh my... trying to go from Spanish to English was so funny. I kept accidentally just speaking in Spanish. By the end I got it, no worries.
Hermana Dora came out with us and we did some ministering visits for all the Birthdays. We had a surprise Birthday party for Mireya and their whole fam. That was so fun!
Food. FOOD. Food. It feels like we are being fed constantly!!! CONSTANTLY. That was just a side note, I just feel like I am constantly full. We go to all of our appointments and they just worked so hard to make us a yummy meal or feed us. We have just been so grateful and feel really blessed.
Other miracles, A less active that hasn't come in YEARS finally met with us and is planning on coming back. The branch is on fire! Jesus is our Savior, and I am so so happy to be a missionary. This last week, we were able to be in a couple of member’s homes and the spirit was almost palpable. The efforts of those families to be focused on Christ and love in the home was so powerful. We walked away just in awe at the power of a righteous family and the difference it makes to have a worthy priesthood holder and harmony in the home.
LOVES,
