It has been super fun working with Hna N. I still kind
of feel like we're just on divisions, and then it hits me that we'll be
companions for at least one more month! I hope it'll be longer...! She has
actually had a few gringa comps before. We've been having lots of fun together!
She is super musical, so we've been singing a ton. Also, another crazy
connection...she was roommates with Kristen Grant! That was pretty crazy!
So Tuesday was pretty crazy....during companionship study,
one of the APs called and said that they were going to work with us all day!
Usually APs only work with ZLs and DLs, but for some reason they decided to
work with us. It was actually pretty fun! They came in the morning, but then at
lunch, Presidente called them and said he wanted them to work with the other
Rosario hnas too....so they did divisions! It was super weird because Elder
A worked with us...and his comp with the others. But it was way fun...E.
A was actually our zone leader until this last change. It was pretty nice
having him to threaten all the flirts away! He said it was really hard to work
with us because there are lots of people who just want to flirt with us...now
he understands our pain...haha. But it's all good!
We had zone conference this week, too. It was super weird
because pretty much everyone is new! I'm one of the missionaries who has been
in this zone for the longest time...it's weird! But we have a new ZL, Elder V,
who was actually my first ZL in Managua! I think I've changed quite a lot since
then...haha.
So we've had a lot of great teaching experiences this week!
Hna N and I teach really well together...it's awesome! We've been working
on being more direct (something I've always had a problem with growing up) and
it's been really helping our investigators understand more! We taught a man
named Y who has been going to church for about a year. The missionaries
taught him a year ago, but stopped teaching him a long time ago. We randomly
found him one day and started teaching him. He knows so much! But he said he
needed to know more before he could be baptized...so we read 2 Nefi 31, which
talks about the doctrine of Christ, and he loved it. He summarized the purpose
of baptism and everything, but said he still didn't feel like he knew enough.
So I kind of interrupted him and said exactly what he needed to hear (that he
was more than ready)....and he got super excited. Apparently he just had some
insecurities...haha. It was awesome. So hopefully he'll progress even
more!
We also taught a contact named F...which in english
means fruit...not even kidding. I really wanted to be able to say that I helped
don fruto be baptized...but he just wants to marry me. So if you want a 50
something year old son in law named F, it's totally an option....haha jk.
Happy Valentines day to me, right? I just celebrated the pure LOVE of Christ
that day....haha. But actually, that's a pretty great type of love. I know that
charity is something really important. I am literally a representative of Jesus
Christ, so I need to help others feel the love that He feels for them. Because
when I talk to investigators, I really to feel an instant love for them. It's
awesome! I know that each of us are children of God and that He loves us so
much!
And I love all of you too! I hope you have an amazing week!
I can't believe we're over halfway through Feb. already! It's so crazy! We're
coming up on March so quickly! I saw a ''kiss me i'm irish'' necklace today in
the market...it made me laugh...haha. But I hope all is going well with
everyone! Love you!
