Saturday Night Surprise
Hey everyone!
On Saturday night, President called me to serve and finish my mission as a Sister Training Leader. The big surprise is that I have been called to serve as the STL in San Lucas Toliman, Sololá (the other side of the lake.) I am super excited for these new changes and to keep working in the Lord's work here in Guatemala. I will also have the opportunity to be here when Sololá becomes a Stake the 12th and 13th of May. My new companion is Hermana Rotellini from the Republica Dominicana. She is awesome. She will finish her mission in June (6 weeks left!)
Alma 26
37 Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen.
I love you all!

My beloved Sololà
Buenas!
First things first: The most exciting news of the week.. Sololà is going to be a stake. After 38 years of praying that this District could become a Stake, it will happen on May 13th. We are exceeding.
I am doing great. I love the mission. I love missionary work. I was reading in Preach My Gospel this past week and came across the First Presidency Message that explains my whole mission. "More happiness awaits you than you have ever experienced as you labor among His children." I have felt this happiness and more love during these past 15 months. I am not perfect, but I am trying to be better while serving Him and His children.
Les amo!

Sololà's Pioneer
Buenas!
I want to start off saying that I love El Mirador, Sololà. This week we did a few fun service projects. There is a sister in our area that was one of the first members here in Sololà. Now there are three branches just here in Sololà and will be a Stake soon! The sister is Hermana Ana, or abuelita. Her husband passed away about 2 weeks ago so we showed up to cheer her up a little. We painted her nails, tried on her corte, and just were there for company and jokes.
This weekend will be a special weekend. We have a baptism prepared. There is General Conference, my favorite weekend 2 times a year. During General Conference, we will have the opportunity to sustain our beloved prophet, Russell M Nelson. I invite everyone to watch general conference as well as have 3 questions that you would like to be answered of any topic. I promise you that you will receive your answers in different ways during the conference through the Holy Ghost.

Miracles Exist
Buenas!
Things are going well here in El Mirador. We saw a miracle this past Sunday. We passed by all the investigators we could to bring them to church, but they weren't home or said they couldn't. We were near the house of a convert that hasn't been to church these past 2 Sundays so we stopped by to see if she would come to church. We were able to bring her to church and as we were sitting in the reunion her older brother (convert as well) showed up with their younger brother (not a member.) We were so happy and are going to fijar la fecha with him for the 31st. During the week, we finished a service project early and still had time before lunch. There is a less active in our area that we always pass by to find, because his wife and kids aren't members. We felt that we should go pass by before heading to lunch. We found him and made an appointment to visit their family today. The father of the family (less active) said he would go to church this Sunday so we will see if he will bring his family.
Moroni 7:29
And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men.

Hermana Tibbits is going to... stay in El Mirador
Buenas!
Well, I will be staying in El Mirador, Sololá for another transfer with my companion. I love this area so much. There are so many miracles here and the members are awesome. This past week we got to shake hands and listen to Elder Cook talk. That was the highlight of my week. Something that he said that stuck out to me is that we all said "yes" to serve the Lord in some way.
I have been trying to finish the Book of Mormon before Easter and I loved this scripture, so I thought I would share it (:
Alma 29
9 I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.
Les amo!
