FLASHBACKS
Happy happy Monday to all my favorite people! You are you all doing?? This week but a bit rough at some parta but this week is gonna be AMAZING! Let's get right into it!
Tranfer news:
I'M IN A TRIO AGAIN WOOOOOO!!! Really did not see this coming until president called us a week ago and straight up said to me in private, "hna Jones I'm gonna have you be in a trio again so you can help one of the other sisters"💀 he just had to decide between 2 girls. Anyways she's the cutest actually I love her, her name is Hermana Lozano and she's from the coast of Ecuador! Shes waiting for her visa to go to Dominican republic for her original assignment she she might leave any day but we've low-key been thriving as a trio it's a blast ngl
☆the amount of times I've gotten flashbacks to my training is INSANE haha. Literally now I'm hermana Mendez (my trainer) because now I'm in a trio again and when my comps don't know what to say in a call, I answer. When they don't know what else to add in a lesson, I try to speak by the spirit. When we walk anywhere, I always always for some reason am walking in front to lead them. The flashbacks are UNREAL and its making me miss hermana Mendez a lot, shout out to the best trainer I could have asked for
☆ went contacting in a new area the other day and a bird pooped warm, dark brown poop right on my forearm in the middle of a contact in the street but was i about to get that stop me from getting the contact?? Absolutey not. I looked back at my comps during it and they couldn't stop laughing lol but the time i finished the contact it had dried and was a bit difficult to clean hahaha-the things we do as missionaries
☆our friend Bryan (a guy we've been teaching ever since we got here and even had a fecha bautismal) came to church with his girlfriend yesterday FINALLYYY. We almost stopped teaching him because she doesn't wanna get married so he can't get baptized, but we finally had a lesson with them yesterday after church and honestly it was everything I've been praying for and more. She said that because she grew up in a good family, she wants her daughter to grow up in one too and she wants God to be the center of their relationship, we have another visit with her tomorrow and I CANT WAIT!
☆6 friends came to church yesterday!!
JAYSBELI'S BAPTISM!!!
Honestly this was one of the most special baptisms I've ever been in. SO filled with the spirit and she just has the sweetest soul. I accidentally forgot to tell her that she has to bear her testimony, but it turned out fine. She got up there and started crying and said that she's been waiting for this moment and to become a member of this church for 2 years but couldn't because her dad didn't give her permission, and finally he did. She is just the cutest person and I cant wait to see how she grows and the hearts she'll touch when she goes on her mission!!
☆we have a couples activity/ noche de hogar on Wednesday for the couples that we're teaching and the elders friends, with 5 member couples that are gonna give advice about marriage and why its so important to be committed to one person hehe hopefully our friends will take that advice and actually do it so they can get baptized
SPIRITUAL:
I was reading my cute friend Hermana Johnson's email and loved these scriptures she shared so I thought I share them too haha! It's in Proverbs chapter 3 and says,
"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it."
Doesn't it sound like poetry? I love the scriptures so so so much because when we read, we grow. When we grow, we learn. When we learn, we have more wisdom and understanding. And when we have more wisdom, we can become more like our Savior. For He has our confidence forever when we put our trust in Him.
