11 months....and a daughter

Well, 2 weeks passed really fast and ended my 7th transfer in the mission. I enjoyed these past 2 weeks in La Hermosa with my companions, but I have been transferred to train my daughter, Hna Gandara. We are super excited about this new adventure together here in Solola. It is so beautiful and I love it here. We have already seen miracles and we have only had a day together.

I went to the temple a week or two ago for the first time here in Guatemala. I absolutely loved it. I am so grateful my companions and I had the opportunity to go to the temple for our PDay. This time of year has been so special and I love being a missionary. I love the Book of Mormon. I know it was written and translated to change and save lives. I know miracles exist. I know Jesus Christ lives and love us individuallly. I know Joseph Smith was a man, but he was also a prophet called of God to restore the church of Jesus Christ.

Feliz Navidad!

con mucho amor,

Emergency Transfers

Hola todos!

I am doing super well. I am really happy and really enjoy being a missionary. So on Thursday night, I got a call from the Assistants. I am now in La Hermosa, Villa Hermosa and big surprise they called me to be the Nurse's assistant. So that's cool. They made Emergency Transfers on Monday and I could be in the baptism of Juan Carlos. It was super awesome and President showed up with his wife and daughter (the same age as Kensley). I love being a missionary. Juan Carlos wrote me a super cute card and signed it as "Hermano Juan Carlos" He is 21 and studying engineering at the university. He has always talked to Elders on the buses but they never came to visit him in his house until we showed up. He reads every pamphlet or reading assignment we give him (I am also learning to be a teacher in the mission giving homework but spiritual homework). We taught the Word of Wisdom and the second day we showed up we asked how he was doing and he told us he was keeping the commandments with a smile. (: I love investigators like him. When we were taking pictures at his baptism, he was a little disappointed that he couldn't give us a hug. After his baptism, we were talking to him about serving a mission. He just asked us "You see potential in me?" Umm, yes. My week was super good. We are working with the Light the World campaign. It is super awesome and the video is even better. ( mormon.org ) 

I want you to invite each and every one of you to share a Book of Mormon with someone you know or maybe someone you don't even know (someone on the street). It will change your life and will also change the life of someone else. The Book of Mormon was made to change and save lives.

con amor,
Hna Tibbits
