Well, I'm leaving Lompoc! I'm going to be moving to Newberry Park and my new companion is......I don't know. I will be training a new sister missionary so I don't know who it will be yet! Tomorrow we are going to meet in Ventura and there I'm going to meet her :) I am really excited to have this opportunity and to be able to serve and love her! I am a little bit nervous because we will both be new to the area, but it's ok. We will get lost together :) I know that good things are going to happen these next 6 weeks and I am excited :)
My new address is:
1780 Via Calle Rojo APT. F
Newberry Park, CA
(I don't have the zip code yet, sorry)
But! I am also sad to be leaving everyone in Lompoc! I feel like part of my heart is going to stay here and I don't want to leave the members and the investigators. But I know that this is what the Lord wants, so I have to trust Him.
This last week was so great! We had a discuss with Beatriz, a new investigator and we taught her about the Restoration. She is so READY! She understood really well and she really liked what we taught. We left her with a Book of Mormon and we invited her to read and pray about it. She said that she will take the time to do it because she knows it is important. We also went with Hermano Julian and we taught about the Plan of Salvation. The Spirit was so strong and he really felt it and this time he accepted it! At the end he thanked us told us that he felt so good and felt so peaceful. I know that little by little he will let the Gospel into his heart and into his life again. We had lots of other great discussions with members and less actives. I have been able to see that everyone has a desire to be good and follow our Heavenly Father. That fire to be baptized is still there inside of them but they let it go out a little bit. Maybe it's not as big as it was before, but that testimony is still there. We just have to help them to find it and help it grow.
This weekend we had a baptism and three brothers were baptized! They are 16, 13, and 9 years old. It was so cool to see them take this step :)
Well, I love you all so much, and hope that you have a great week!
