Hello everyone!
This week has been a lot better than last week for me. I have been loving being with Hermana Williams she really has opened up and came out of her shell a bit more and I love her optimism and faith. She is never hesitant when it is her turn to initiate a contact or when I give her time to speak. She listens and takes advice very well and is always so happy to help me in my personal goals as well as our companionship goals. An investigator that we visited last week and this week is Miledy and she commented on how much better Hermana Williams pronounciation is in just one week! She does seem to be bit shy still with her spanish but I am encouraging her to speak up . I gave her the challange of asking every person we talk to (member, investigator, contact) at least one question, any question, when we are just chatting with people. That way people will know she is understanding the conversation and will include her more and start talking to her as well instead of just me.
So I feel like our pool of investigators kinda went downhill a few weeks ago so trying to get that back up and going has been tough. In our ward we have a new RM, his name is Israel and he became the new ward mission leader. He still has the missionary work fire and is very determined to "fill our agendas" and help us as much as possible. I am excited for this change. Hopefully, it can be just the thing that Lleida's ward needs to dive into the obra misional (missionary work). I never really understood the importance of the members help in the missionary work before my mission. The members ARE the missionaries. I often wonder to myself what I was doing before my mission and why i wasnt helping more in the missionary work. I guess its different in Utah but still, that is not an excuse, it really is every members responsibility :) help the missionaries!! they would really appreciate it.. I would know. . haha.
Well since I am training I am expecting to be here till the beginning of December. Because the training program is for two transferes (12 weeks). But with president Pace, no one ever knows what he is going to do , so Hermana Williams and I might be split up mid training in ocotber but I highly doubt that. Wherever the Lord needs me is where I will be.
I love you all so so so so so much! Keep strong and firm in the Gospel!
love, Hermana Hair
