Cambios?

Hola! Well, the time came to leave El Tejar. I am now in San Miguel Petapa with Hermana Bonilla! So far I love it. It is a bit of a change, because it is the capital and I am not used to the climate. I will miss the mountains. I am excited for a new adventure and to find and meet more people. I love you all! Conference is this weekend! General Conference is one of my favorite things. I would invite you all to have a question and write it down before you watch conference. I know you will receive your answer if you have a question and write it. I know that Thomas Monson is a prophet of God. I am so excited for all the talks and advice that I need to hear, learn and apply.


Con amor,
Hermana Tibbits

Bendito El Tejar

Hola todos! I am still doing great! I love being a missionary and saying that I am a representative of Jesus Christ. It is the best feeling and I almost think it sounds better in Español ;) This week was a rollercoaster in itself, but we finished it with smiles. We are going to go to have changes this next week. Vamos a ver que pasa. We had a baptism this week. It was amazing to see the desire of these 2 girls to come unto Christ. One is 11 years old and one is 15 years old. When we taught them, we taught them how we would teach our sisters. I love my sisters and want the very best for them, so seeing Kency and Sara in white for their baptisms was the greatest. They have grown up and changed in this month that we have known them. I have faith that they will keep learning and growing in the gospel and maybe one day serve missions. We got to go to an activity to play football and hang out as missionaries for the 15th of September.

No tuvimos cambios

So a lot has happened in the past two weeks. The mission is great. I love being a missionary. My companion and I are doing great. There have been bumps in the road, but I know it is for our benefit. We found some bien calidad people this week. Honestly, I love the mission. I love contacting and teaching people. I know that there are people prepared. We just have to do our part to find them. We found a 14 yr old girl who has a lot of family problems. She wants to learn more and be with her family for forever. She came to the church this Sunday sólita. Pure example of faith. Our convert has had a lot of problems this past week. He got robbed twice and his parents practically kicked him out of the house, but he was there in the capilla early for his confirmation. I know there are people ready and that the Lord trusts us that we will find them, invite them and help them.

I love you all!

con amor,
Hna Tibbits

7 months down, forever to go (:2

Hey everyone!!

This has been a crazy last two weeks. It has been a rollercoaster from almost the lowest lows to the most happy I have ever felt.

This past week a dear friend and hermana in my mission died as a missionary. I know she is with our Father in heaven and continues to preach the gospel from the other side. It was a hard day for our mission, but we have seen blessings from this and have felt peace. We had a memorial service for her this past wednesday.

Josué was baptized this past Sunday.He had problems with baptism for the longest time, because he was baptized before in another church. We went to visit him on Thursday and he told us he had a surprise for us. We talked him into telling us what it was and he had decided to be baptized. We challenged him to be baptized the next Sunday and he told us he would send us a message in the night. He sent us a sweet message about how we have changed his life and he is ready to be baptized. A true convert (: He wants to be a missionary to bring more souls unto Christ.

We had cambios this past Tuesday and Hna Sánchez and I will be together for another 6 weeks in El Tejar. More baptisms to come ;)

con amor,
Hna Tibbits

Hard Week

President Cluff,

This week has been hard to say the least, but we are in the lucha every day. I know there is a reason for the things that have happened this past week and today. I know that the Lord has a plan for each and every one of us that leads to happiness we can not imagine. I know the Lord knows me and my deseos y desafios. I love this gospel and the happiness it has brought my family and me. I know you received an email from my mom this week. My cousin is going home today from the CCM. My heart breaks for him, but I know it is for the best if the CCM president says he needs to recover. I know that the sadness we feel is only for a moment and that it is a way we can recognize when we are truly happy. I love the mission. I love the happiness that I have felt as I have shared the gospel and served the people of Guatemala. This time is as great as a time to seguir adelante and serve. The best thing to do right now is forget ourselves and serve. I know that you and all the mission presidents are called of God. I know you want the best for us and receive revelation for us. Thank you for all that you do for us. Thank you for coming to Guatemala and bringing your family too. We love you all dearly. Thank you.

More Miracles in El Tejar

Buenas!

I love being a missionary here, especially in El Tejar. There are so many miracles here in our area. I know that the Lord has put my companion and I together in this area for a reason.

Our zone baptized 10 people this past Saturday in our Noche Blanca. We now have 2 new conversos in our area. We were all so happy and the spirit was so strong. I know there are people waiting to know the truth and all we have to do is act our part. I really do love putting Christ´s name over my heart everyday and everyone sees His name and not my own. Honestly, I love being Hermana Tibbits.

Read 1 Nephi 10:19 (:

I love you all!

con amor,
Hermana Tibbits

Baptisms and fun times together (:
