LUIS GUILLON, Argentina -
So if you were wondering here are the results of
the transfer........ Drum roll.... I am staying here In Luis Guillon! I have a
new companion and I will be training her to be a sister training leader. She doesn’t
need to be trained because she is ready and soooo awesome but, I guess I will
do what president tells me ;)
My New Companion- Hermana Vargas |
Her name is Hermana Vargas. Yep I get another
Latina. I am very excited. She will help me out a lot with the language. She is
from Nicaragua and is 20 years old. I don’t know her super well yet because we
have only been together a few hours but she seems great and is ready to go
work. She is very fun and happy so I have no doubt we will work great together.
Hermana Mills is done with her mission now, which seems so crazy but her
parents came and got her today. It was fun to see them but so crazy at the same
time. I got to have the opportunity to translate the whole Transfer meeting for
them both because they couldn’t understand a thing. It was a lot of fun and now
I am very tired but it is good to know my brain still works ;) They seem like
very nice people and I know they will just love visiting the mission with their
cute daughter.
Working the Clothes - Hermana Mills |
Crazy as Ever |
The Mills-Newman Chapter comes to a close |
As for my week. CRAZY! But great. We had lots of
meetings and I was on exchanges alot because hna mills went to the temple and
capital. So i was with some of the other sisters here in my zone. Its official.
The Velazquez Familia was Baptized and Confirmed! I am one happy camper. I couldn’t
be happier. But... If you think i am happy... I wish you could have seen their
faces. On Sunday they were just glowing! They were so happy and you could tell
they were ready to start this new part of their lives! I am glad I get to be
part of their journey. Now we will be working on helping Hermano Velazquez
prepare to receive the priesthood and for them to go to do baptisms in the
temple. I just love the gospel. It makes everyone happy no matter what the
circumstance. Yes, we still have trials but nothing that the gospel wont help
us over come
I got to mow a lawn |
We have another mother and daughter who have a
date and will be working hard with them as well. Lots of less active work
here to do in Luis Guillon and of course we are always looking for more `people
to teach who are ready to my covenants with our Heavenly Father. Keep our ward
in your prayers and of course i will be praying for you all! We are ready to
see some miracles. Sorry this email is really short and simple but thats how it
goes sometimes right?
To end I want to share a thought that Dad emailed
me today. I think we can all use it and apply it to our lives.
Here is
the quote of the day:
Please
don't nag yourself with thoughts of failure. Do not set goals far beyond your
capacity to achieve. Simply do what you can do, in the best way you know, and
the Lord will accept your effort. Gordon B Hinckley
Yep, That's our Bishop. I think he is 26 |
Saying goodbye to some friends |
I just want you all to know how much i love you!
We listened to all the missionaries leaving the mission today and heard their
testimonies. It was amazing! Lots are leaving and lots are coming. This work is
an eternal thing and I love being part of it. The coolest thing is we can all
be part of it! Think about it! :) I can testify of what Pres. Hinckley says. It
is true. All he asks is that we give Him our best. My testimony is simple
but true. I KNOW God lives, He loves us. He sent us his son. I cannot repay him
for that... but I can help my other hermanos use the wonderful gift for their
lives. The gospel is real, the atonement works. I love my life! Couldn’t be
happier :) If you are not happy, there is a problem. Get down and pray and be
ready to change the things in your life. I know you can do and God expects to
always be changing and getting better.
Love you with all my Heart. Have a
great week"! Tear it up
-Hermana Newman :)
