Hola!
Miércoles.. 03/15
Today we had zone conference! It was fun to see so many missionaries and President y Hermana Markham. Something that hit me during zone conference is that our missions are a blessing. These past weeks have been a little hard to adjust to. I also received a blessing after zone conference, because I had been pretty sick for the past few days. I asked for it in English (the Elder is from CA) and he told me he didn't know how to in English. So the anointing and beginning was in Spanish and the actual blessing was in English. I am so grateful to have willing and worthy priesthood holders nearby to offer blessings when needed. I also am teaching English every Wednesday for an hour and then helping the High School students with their English studies for another hour. It honestly helped my español a little bit.
Jueves.. 03/16
Nothing really happened today. One miracle that happened was when we were meeting with menos activos in the night. I shared 2 Nefi 32:9. I encourage you all to read it (: I bore my testimony on the power of prayer and how HF answers our prayers. The mother actually had a question about that, because she felt like her prayers were never answered. I am glad we were able to answer her question and hopefully she will start to recognize the Lord answering her prayers.
Viernes.. 03/17
I didn't write much today, because my companion was really sick and needed to sleep. We went to the second New Missionaries meeting. I was reunited with Hna DeRosier and got to exchange stories. Something that I liked that Hna Markham said was to serve your mission using your strengths. I struggle sometimes with spanish, but I know I have the scriptures and a patient companion that helps me everyday to improve.
Sábado.. 03/18
I have been a missionary for 2 months today. Crazy how time flies when you're busy. One of my favorite families moved into a different area. That was kind of sad meeting with them for the last time. We also met with a 17 yr old girl who has been attending our church for one hour for 8 months. Weirdly enough, the missionaries before never gave her a BoM or anything. So we are now working with her. We played basketball with some members, just shooting around. I made my first tortillas today.
Domingo.. 03/19
So last week, Hno Bayron was baptized and now we are teaching his cousins. He is already being an example for his family. Him and his grandmother are the only members in their family. His grandmother is inactive, so we are working with her as well.
Lunes.. 03/20
I love PDays! We got to go to Chima for the day with our whole district. We all surprised Hna Rodriguez with a Birthday cake. My companion and I went to buy water, because I needed it (the cake was so rich.) The water was supposed to cost 7.50Q, but the guy gave it to me for 7Q. When my companion told the others what happened, the Elders called him a snake. (a snake is a creepy man in our mission usually trying to flirt with the Hnas.) I was just grateful for water. Nothing much really happened after that. Hnas Rodriguez and Jauregui are leaving on emergency exchanges as well as Elder Salazar, so our district is in for a change.
