Change in the Area!

Hola familia! 

Just another week in paradise! I am staying here in St. Peter for another transfer yay!!! And I am getting a new companera! Her name is Hermana Rawlins... she just got done training so I am excited to get to know her but I don't know anything else! I will miss Hermana Jones we are best friends and sisters but change is always good.

Let me just tell you a pretty amazing statistic! Our mission baptized 28 people this week and 43 the first two weeks in June... wow so cool to see.

This week we taught Gaspar an English lesson our last lesson before Hermana Jones leaves...we told him at the end one of us would be leaving (probably her) and he got all sad but the spirit was super strong because we prayed together one last time and he said the prayer. As he prayed he prayed for us and the work here and for our families, his prayer was kind of like a thank you to us and it was one of those "glorious moments". Talitha is having a lot of struggles right now, going through a rough time. We were able to stop by this week and help her a little in the house even though she didn't want the help. She didn't really even talk much but we knew she was appreciative. We told her we loved her and that the lord loved her and she had tears in her eyes. Even though her progress is slow I know with out a doubt we were placed in her life for a reason to bring her hope and peace. I know she will never forget the spirit she feels with us.

 Member missionaries are amazing! We have an amazing lady in our ward named sister cragun. (she speaks Spanish score!) She is always willing to do missionary work, she is a great example to me! We went teaching to a lady named arisely this week and Sister Cragun was able to touch her and help her open up that we have never been able to do. That was our best lesson we have had with Arisely. It just shows you how powerful members can be in this work. SO the less active we found last week Jesus we learned some more about his knowledge of the gospel. He is a talker let me tell you! Talkers are kinda hard to deal with out here hahah but we learned how he knows the story of Joseph Smith. He said that he got tarred and feathered and so he was sad (obviously) and went running into the forest crying and prayed and an angel came to him. Hahaha we were like okay, lets clear some things up for you :) He is going to be a blessing though to the Spanish movement here we just have to clear some doctrine up first!   

I am so blessed to be out here at this time it is such a blessing. Don't stop doing the little things everyday to bring you closer to God that's what will bring you strength and happiness!!

I love you all! Make it a great week :)
