Transfers... Again


Seems like yesterday we were just transferred. But it makes sense because this one is short.

Anyway, literally there is sooo much anticipation for the "Sunday night phone call". It makes Sunday feel like an eternity.

Anyway a little recap on my week.

Monday-We played Bi-zone soccer and 

MISSION ZONE WON 3-0

we were sooooooooooo happy we beat Hidalgo zone. That made the day soo much better. Well and talking to my family. Haha

Monday night-Great FHE with literally 5 members and 6 missionaries. None of our families came. But we played telephone. At the end. Man I thought that game was hard in English... Let alone Spanish. 😂😂

We had a pretty cool lesson with the Lara Family. They are wanting to learn more. So that's always awesome.

Tuesday-we had a great Zone meeting and learned about more rules we need to follow. YEAH RULES!!

It sucks because their is so many but I have been gaining a testimony that obedience brings blessings. And exact obedience brings miracles. So I'm gonna be following them for sure.

We went by some really cool potentials in the afternoon and got some return appointments before dinner with Hermana Lucy Sonera. She made Tortillas de Harina!!! Mi favorita! She is soo awesome. And her Mom is like... Ancient, not trying to be rude, haha but she's a little hard of hearing and she just start talking randomly at times and gives us comments about how pretty we are. She's so cute.

Wednesday-What an awesome day. We went caroling at an adult day care. They are basically ficilities where super old people who are bored go and play bingo all day. They lady that owns it is being taught by the sisters in the English ward and loves when they go and help out. So she invites us to go sing. We had like 7 missionaries go. It was super awesome.

They made us little thank you gift bags. We talked to a ton of them about what we do as missionaries. It made their day so much better... Hopefully our singing wasn't too bad for their ears. Haha

We had a lesson with Juan today. Every Wednesday and Saturday at 4. He is so excited for his baptism. We went over the commandments with him and made a little poster so he can remember them. At the end right after we explained the word of Wisdom. We wanted him to recap on the 5 things we should out in our bodies. At first he said, no fornicacion. They we had to explain a little bit more. He was like... Oh, sí no marajuana, no cocina, no heroina, and a few others. We were dying laughing. Then explained the others. He only has a problem with Café. And he said he'll be drinking leche en las mañanas. Yes!!!!!!!

We also went to the Hidalgo Lights. Where it's like a neighborhood filled with decorations and buttloads of Christmas lights. It was so fun we met so many amazing people that wanted to learn more about Jesus Christ and his church. They had free hot chocolate and doughnuts at the church right by the Hidalgo lights and as people came in and grabbed some we started talking to them. And tons wanted missionaries to go by their houses!

Thursday-We stopped teaching like 4 families. That was sad. But now we have more people to go out and find that are truly prepared to become converted to the Lord.

Friday- We met this super cool guy Gilberto. He said he's never gone to church and never been been baptized...we can help with that 😉

He is so awesome he really wants want to learn more.

Saturday-busy as always. We got like 12 missionaries together and sang some Christmas hymns at our less active members store. We got some super interested people too. She's such a good member missionary... Who's less active. Haha love her!!

We went by Juan again. He's getting more and more prepared for his baptism. I love this MAN!!

Sunday-Juan came to church and a few others. But after sacrament they announced his baptism. He stood up, put his arms in the air like he was praising God and just had a look on his face like... Yeah you know that's right and just kept looking around. Then our Bishop was like, gracias hermano... Siéntese Ahh we were dying laughing. He's soo excited.

We had an awesome lesson with Gilberto on Sunday night. We actually asked him to be baptized. He's getting prepared for baptism on the 17th of January!!!!!!!! He's so awesome. He didn't go to church because he car wouldn't start when he was leaving to meet us at the church. He said he'll be there next time. To bad I won't be there...

WE HAD TRANSFERS CALLS

I'm headed to Portland, Texas. In the Corpus Christi area. English area😭😢

I'M SOOOO Excited Though. It's going to be so fun!!! And what's funny is that President said we'd stay together one more, Sister Greer and I. But no. She's training and I'm going to the opposite end of our mission.

She was so awesome and we had such a great time. I'm sadly not going to be here for Juan's baptism. But thank goodness for technology. Because I'm going to FaceTime in.

I know this church is true and so is the Book of Mormon. I love being a missionary!!!

Merry Christmas, feliz navidad, happy Chrysler.

Love you all!!!!!

Stay 2 legit 2 quit, spread some Christmas cheer.

Con todo mi amor,

Hermana Darling
