How's everyone doing?
Can
I just start off how I love this area? I love Logan. I love the people
here in Logan. They're all just so nice! Transfers are coming up and I'm
not very excited about it. I'm really hoping I don't get transferred or
get a new companion. Hermana Judy and I have been having a lot of
success. We're now trying to find new investigators. So please pray for
us.
Any how, last Thursday we had
mission conference. It was so much fun! It started at 9 am and ended
around 5 pm. 9-12 was training by some missionaries and then someone
came to talk to us about his life as a missionary. He was called to the
Boise Idaho Mission and that he wasn't very happy about his mission
call. He also had a football scholarship but lost it because he decided
to come on a mission. But when ending his mission he had to start
thinking about college. He was able to get a football scholarship from
BYU and played for them. He talked about blessings from serving a
mission. Then he told us that we're called to a certain mission for a
reason. People have been waiting for US to teach them. We need to stop
being selfish and bring people come unto Christ. It was a great talk
though. Then we had lunch. The office staff made us lunch and it was
super good. We then had a talent show. A couple of the missionaries and I
did a Mexican dance. "El Baile De Los Viejitos". It was so much fun. We
dressed up as Mexicans, well I didn't really have to dress up because
I'm Mexican so I just put on a Mexican Pancho, wore a Mexican hat, and
an old man mask. All the missionaries were at mission conference. When
it was time for us to dance I was having second thoughts about it. haha,
I was super nervous. The talent show was about 3 hours long. Longest
talent show of my life. But it was a lot of fun. Oh and after mission
conference, we got our car! Heck yeah! No more walking in the freezing
cold and getting knee pains from how cold it is. :)
On Saturday
we had 2 baptisms. Lucia and Elmer. Lucia is amazing! She has so much
faith! I don't think I've ever met someone with so much faith. I know
her and her son are going to be very strong members. Elmer who is 11
years old is even thinking about going on a mission. The baptism was
very spiritual.Lucia had to get baptized 3 times because 1st the baptism
prayer wasn't said correctly. 2nd because she wasn't all the way in the
water. 3rd, she finally got baptized correctly. 2 of her children still
aren't baptized but I know they'll get baptized soon. Steven who is 17
years old is a very difficult one. I was very bold with him and asked
him..."so Steven, when are you getting baptized?". He said he didn't
know. He's been going to church with his friends. :) it's great! Pray
for him as well! Oh and his sister.
On Sunday we went caroling with
the branch missionaries and the ward mission leader. We caroled to the
less actives and out investigators. It was a lot of fun but VERY cold!
Well everyone hope you all have a great week! Love you all!
