So . . . my companion went home . . . again. I was really really sad to see her go and I still miss her a lot because she was an awesome missionary, but I´m glad she´s going back to get the help that she needs. So, we had an emergency exchange, and it´s been absolutely crazy, haha. My companions are Hna. Murdock from Utah, and Hna Olaechea from Argentina. They´re from the area right next to mine . . . SO . . . we are working in both areas . . . so we have two areas, two wards, to district leaders . . . it´s weird. Every night I call and report to my district leader and they report to their´s and it´s just so weird. I had to go on splits with a member just so I could attend my ward . . . it´s really crazy. I have to find someone from the ward to go with me almost every day to teach in my area, otherwise, we end up having to chose between the two areas . . . it´s rough, but I know the Lord will bless us so that His work will continue to move forward, even though we´re one missionary short.
This last saturday, one of my investigadors, Elvia, was baptized. She´s 17 and her parents are members and she wants to serve a mission, and I´m so super excited for her! She´s super awesome and at her baptizm, she brought about 6 friends who aren´t members of the church, and almost all of her family was there and she just had a TON of support. It was awesome. Members stay members when they have the support of the ward and their family. Not only do they stay members, but they go on to do great things, like, serving a mission and going to the temple! So, my challenge for you, think of someone you haven´t seen at church in a long time, and go visit them. Invite them to church and sit with them when they come. When you join the church, you join a FAMILY, and that´s how we should treat each other :)
Thanks so much for all your love and support. I hope you have a GREAT week! Love you all!
