Hi!!!
Okay, this week was soooo good. To start, we went on a hike with our zone and it was so fun and it was so good to just go and walk with great people for a while.
Then, on Tuesday we had exchanges. I got to go to Santa Maria!! And I worked with Hermana Killpack (for the third time) Oh how I enjoyed to return to my area and see how things have changed! I also really enjoyed working the Hermana Killpack again. Since it was our third time working together we say we are companions now. It was so nice to talk to her about less active members that I remember working with, who are now active and have callings and are working hard to help with the work. It was a day full of miracles and lots of hugs seeing my friends there.
Then on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday we were in Lompoc. We saw so many miracles there as well. Hermana Zarate and I have been working on being completely obedient to all of the mission rules and we have seen the blessings. We have been able to find many people in Lompoc and all of the people that we have talked to have been so ready to hear the gospel.
Jose came to the sports night and it was so cool to see the members show him how much they love him and have missed him at church. I feel like little by little he will return and realize how much we need him at church. Oh, we were also playing futbol and Hermana Zarate and I were the goalies. We got hit so many times with the ball! But it was ok because they didn't make any goals!
Then on Saturday after seeing lots of people, we went to eat with Arturo. He is doing so much better, and he even came to church yesterday with Jackson and Isabel (his children). But on Saturday after eating (some delicious enchiladas) we were heading to the other room to teach a discussion with Arturo when some of his mom's friends who were also visiting asked us if we were going to share the Word of God (its somthing everyone says here) and Arturo said yes and they asked if they could stay a listen to the discussion as well. We told them obviously yes that they could! And we had a really nice discussion! We shared about the Book of Mormon and about Temples and we showed the video about He Lives. They loved the video and everything we shared. They are from Los Angeles so we gave them a copy of the Book of Mormon and then we invited them to go the Temple and to go to the visitors center.
Also yesterday after trying to find somebody at home, we thought about Juana, a less active member. When we got to her house, come to find out that she was not feeling very good and wanted to give up. She sang a hymn to her and after talking a little while, she told us how grateful she was and told us that we were the answer to her prayers in that moment.
I love this work and love being an instrument in the Lord's hands. I know that we didn't do anything except be obedient and be prepared. The Lord is the one who does the rest.
I love being a missionary and I so thankful for the opportunity that I have to work everyday in the Lord's work and to be part of so many miracles and blessings. I invite to you to read the Book of Mormon everyday. This is the other thing that really helped us this week. I promise you that you will see a change in your lives.
With lots of love! Have a great week :)
