Un Gran Cambio!

Hola Familia!

I am getting transferred! I am going to Rochester and will be serving there as a Sister Training Leader! I am super excited for this new adventure and to see all that is in store! It will be really cool to work with the other sisters and learn from them as well. The only thing is that its a zebra area! So that means that I am a Spanish missionary and the other sister I will be with (sister smith) is English. So it will probably be a lot like St. peter with a lot of English work! I will miss it here in Richfield. Especially since we have so many awesome people here right now but I know God puts us where we need to be. I have loved working with Hermana Hougaard. I have really learned a lot from her. :) She is so sweet and cute and I am excited for her because we are taking on another area. Bloomington is being closed (the city we live in) and we are opening it! So Hermana Hougaard will be having a good challenge! The weather over here has been pretty cold. The air hurts to breath in haha. We were knocking some doors this week and saw this awesome ice glacier on the side of someone's house. I'll send the picture!

This week we had a miracle with the Rodriguez Family. There daughter is having a hard time in the teenager years and so we decided to go visit their family but specifically focus on her. We got a member to come out with us and when we were knocking on the door she asked us what she liked. We told her that she loves drawing and is really good at it! She was like oh that's cool because before I left I felt like I should grab this drawing book I have to give to her. She gave she  the book and it was perfect, such a great way to help them connect even more. That is why members are so important and SO COOL that she was in tune with the Holy Spirit.  If we just listen to the still small voice miracles can happen!

We had an appointment this week with a great family and so we had a member coming out with u s. When we got to their apartment building it was locked and they didn't answer and no one let us in. It was freezing cold and the member didn't have a jacket on. We felt bad because he really went out of his way to come with us and now he was just outside freezing. haha so we had another appointment that night and we just thought we would take him to that instead. We got there and started to teach and talk about our life on earth and the purpose that we have. The non-member wife started asking a lot of questions and our awesome member started bearing his testimony and answering her and just followed the spirit. It didn't seem like he said anything out of the ordinary but all of the sudden she asked us why did you choose him to come with you? And I was like well he is a great member and yada yada and we pray about who we take out...she was like did anyone assign him or why did you chose him, specifically. I didn't want to say well actually he was supposed to come with us to another person but they weren't there so we came here. Haha so I kind of told her about that but that Heavenly Father must have had a different plan and knew he needed to be here. She started to cry and marvel at how of Heavenly Father works. She said she wasn't going to share what touched her but something he said really hit home with her and really opened her up. She truly recognized we are in the Lord's work and that this is true. I am so excited for the sister to keep teaching her. She is a toughie but her walls were taken down by an awesome member!

There was a lot of other good stuff that happened like we met with Ely, had a fhe with maria and her family and we have been helping a LA member with cancer a lot. It is such a privilege to be guided by the hand of the Lord. I truly know he wants success for his children. We just have to listen him and then follow him. It all starts with our faith though! Grandma sent me this scripture in the beginning of my mission and its stuck with me ever since. Its in Luke 1:37 for with god nothing is impossible. Something along those lines :) I love it and know that it is the truth. If we have faith all things are possible with God!

I love you family and I always always love hearing how you are. Make it a great week!!!!!!
