Week 45

6/8/15

Hi Family and greetings from Newbury Park USA!  I am so excited to be serving here!  Well, my new companion is Hermana Pirir from......Orem UT.  Yes, it's true, and yes we met before the mission.  We went to High School together and we have some of the same friends.  It was so good to see a familiar face again.  I am so happy to be her companion and to be able to serve with her.

Our area is so beautiful and the members are so good to us!  The members of the Spanish group are really excited to have sisters again :)

Almost all of our work here in this area is with less active members.  This week we met Walter, Carlos, and Angel.  They are really nice and they have testimonies of the Church but each one of them has their reason why they don't go to church.  Walter is having doubts about what he knows and about his testimony.  Carlos is really focused on what his friends and the world thinks even though he knows what he should be doing.  And Angel, it's just hard for him to wake up on Sunday morning and go to church.  So, we are praying to know how to help each one of them.  We are trying to contact everyone on our member list in order to get to know them and see what their personal needs are.

Supposedly we also have two investigators that want to get baptized but we haven't been able to find them at home and they haven't answered our phone calls.  But don't worry, we will keep trying and we are going to find them!

Well, this morning I finished reading the Book of Mormon!  I started my first day of my mission and today I finished :)  I am so greatful to be able to have the Book of Mormon in my life because by reading it I have been able to see that they only thing it testifies of is Jesus Christ, of the love He has for each of us and of the plan the He has for us.  I know that it is true and I know that no matter what is happening in our lives, the Book of Mormon can help us.

Ok family, I love you all so much, Thanks for everything!
