Week 24

Heeey!!!!

So like- transfers are kind of a big deal. It's like ending your mission in one area and moving on to the next. It was literally so hard. We went and saw a few of our members so I could say goodbye and it was so hard. Hna Veliz, one of our members we've been working with, started crying! I was like "Don't do this to me!!!" but hey... it made me feel loved. We had a lot of miracles happen my last few days there and from what I hear they're still going on. Hermano Rivas, a husband of one of our members, FINALLY sat down and listened to us. We taught him about not procrastinating the day of repentance, and he's like "Okay, I'm ready to listen to you all now." He's totally going to get baptized here soon. We also taught one of our less-actives, Moroni, who's a cute-awkward 17 year old that's had a really hard life, and taught him about repentance and the redeeming power of the Atonement. And now he's coming back to church! It's so cool. Oh my gosh I'm going to miss Missouri City so much! I LOVED it!

The Baptism was great!!! It is literally one of the most touching things to watch a baptism. I talked to QuiQue's dad afterwards and I'm like "How do you feel!?" He's like "I feel like a burning in my heart... like a warm burning. It feels good." It made me so happy. He was so feeling like he wasn't worthy or prepared. And he got to baptized and confirm his son. It's so awesome what the Atonement can do.

Okay, so transfer meeting..... Okay. So you're never ever ever going to guess who my new comapnion is. HERMANA DORIAN!!! My comp from the MTC. No joke. No lie. Not kidding one bit. That NEVER or hardly ever happens. Ever. So yeah, we're in Houston 9 aka Ghetto-ish with a billion apartments and hardly anyone to teach YET. But they'll come. It's been really cool to see how much our spanish has improved since the MTC. The first time we prayed together in spanish we were like WHOAA!! I think it's going to be a great transfer and I'll probably be here for a little (hopefully... we'll see...) Hermana Kennedy - my last companion, goes home next transfer and she's had 3 areas her WHOLE MISSION. Ask me how many I've had. In 4 transfers. 3. But I'm not complaining. I think the Lord just likes to give me chances to adapt to change and start over. So ... it'll be good. The members I've met in H9 are great so far!

Oh PS- I'm in a bike area again. YEEEEESSS!! I was riding one day and the roads were really wet, so I go to turn and the bike decided to do it's own thing! So I got a really cool cut on my elbow! This guy like stopped his car and ran out to help me. He brought like tisues and waterbottles and was like "Don't move! We're going to clean you up." It was the sweetest thing ever. His name was Michael. Angels really are watchin out for us.

We met this really really prepared guy named Antonio, he's one of the friends of our members. He was like "Why are there so many churches? I just want to know what's true. I just feel like time is running out before the second coming of the Lord." I'm just like "They EXIST!!" Honest seekers of truth. It's awesome.

Pues dejame saber como esta todo. LES AMO!!! Muchisimo!! Yo se que las oraciones siempre estan contestado! Solomente tenemos que hacerlo!!

Love you!!!!!! Forever!!!!
