HOLA HOLA. espero que me recordaran cuando estuvieron teniendo una fiesta sin su hermanita favorita. TODAVIA ESTOY AQUI NO ME OLVIDEN. pero espero que de verdad tuvieran una buena semana juntas. los quiero mucho. Okay I know youre all dyyyyyying to know what life is like with my hijita. Dani and Dee I'm feeling what its like to me a mom for the second time. i think it's a little easier the second time but all the flashbacks are real. My comp is Hermana Wilson from Utah and she's seriously so cute hahaha I don't really know how to describe her except by saying she's so cute. She went to el ccm en Mexcio like I did and she actually had the same maestras that hermana short did, wow they really are sisters and both my babies. speaking of babies, SO GLAD WE'RE OPENLY TALKING ABOUT ALICIAS BABY NOW! FELICATACIONES ALICIA! Thanks for being kind and waiting til' I get home to actually have the child ;) When I first got the call to be a trainer again I'll be real I was kinda nervous because training can be difficult, but I was excited because training brings miracles and that's excatly what we saw this week!! Here's just a few. Okay everyone remember the mexican party I crashed last week? SO GLAD I DID THAT. Because on Wednesday we had a return apointment with Antonio Barreras who was one of the guys we met at that party. This man is incredibly prepared for the restored gospel. We taught him all about Christ and His ministry and we invited him to follow Jesus Christ by being baptized and he said yes and accepted a baptismal date right there in the first meeting. My favorite line was when he asked us "so you can't come in unless theres another female?" and we said yes and he said "wow. that's really respectful. Theres not a lot of women who respect themselves like that these days. you girls are different". Wow I love the gospel. So we invited him to come on Friday to the church for a church tour because we also have Bible class on Friday nights so there would be members there and we could show him around but then Friday comes around and nobody comes to the bible class.. the only member there was Hermana Jeronimo, the relief society president, and literally nobody else. The bad part of that is that we can't bring investigators into the church unless we have a priesthood holder there, so Antonio shows up a lil' late (hispanic standard time) and we can't even show him around. So we bring some chairs out and have a lesson outside and we are teaching about the book of mormon and hermana wilson asks in some broken adorable spanish "que piensa que Dios quiere para usted?" and antonio responds "creo que solo me esta preguntando lo que quiero. y donde quiero estar" so i chime in and say "y hermano barreras, que es lo que quiere?" and he says "felicidad" and I say "y donde piensa que puede encontrarla?" and he says "en la casa del Senor" .. .. .. "Hermano y donde estamos?" "en la casa del Senor. Puedo sentirlo, aun afuera" It was probably one of the most powerful lessons I've had on my mission, just looking at the church not even inside it you can feel that its the right place to be and that the spirit of the Lord is there. HE IS SO AWESOME AND SO READY. PRAY FOR HIM PLEASE!!! miracle 2: every first saturday in the transfer we have something called finding day where the whole mission goes out finding for the whole day and its basically my favorite day every 6 weeks. Sister Arnold and I decided that we wanted to base our finding with the sisters in Renton off of Alma 52 I think it is where the army of helaman is leading away the lamanites but theres the army of nephites behind the lamanites and they wake up one morning and can't see the lamanites anymore and so helaman asks his army "are we going to go back?" and the fearless stripling warriors trust in the Lord and go back to help their fellow soldiers and win the battle because they were all together. So it inspired us to trust in the Lord, turn back, and go to war together. We bombed an area at a time, all 6 of us and it just felt so powerful to all be there and to pray and then split off and see miracles and come back and have referrals for the sisters there and to know we overcame the world we overcame the battle and we helped people come unto Christ. It was a great finding day. In one situation I was with a new sister, sister Morris, and we were knocking this neighborhood and we were talking to this lady and she was awesome and we taught her and then on the way out we asked do you know anyone who speaks spanish around here? and she just laughs and says "the farm". umm what okay what and she tells us theres this farm that always has mariachi bands. as we walk away I just say to sister morris "sister. we're going to the farm" and she says "we're going to the farm" so we go to the farm and we meet Omar who is like in rodeos and he shows us all his horses and we teach him the restoration in front of his horses who i also think would've accepted the baptismal invitation ahaha but omar was so awesome and wanted to come to church so bad but he couldnt that sunday but he will soon because we're teaching him now. I LOVE MIRACLES. okay i realize this letter is now really long but last quick things. Thursday we took Esmy to the temple because the young women had a temple trip and she freaking loved it and promised we would go in together someday I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Then on thursday morning we had a new missionary training and once again blessings for having a baby because guess who came to talk to us? LINDA K BURTON THATS WHO. For those who don't know who Linda K Burton she is the now ex relief society general president of the church and she's probably the most incredible woman of all time next to marita of course. She talked to us about the power of our callings and just loved us so much and encouraged us to keep going for the rest of our missions and for the rest of our lives. I extend to you all the same invitation! Keep going. for now and for forever and don't forget who it was that got you here. I love you all so much! hermana reed IV 1-3 EL TEMPLO
