So this week has been full of ups and downs. I was sad to leave Hermana Blanco, it really was a bitter sweet goodbye. I hadnt realized how much we had grown together and how good of friends we had become and how hard our seperation was actually going to hit me. But my new compañera is HERMANA WILLIAMS. She is from Tampa, Florida, she is 19 and so ready to work. She likes to dance and swim and has a strong testimony. She is working on her spanish but speaks and understands a lot more than I thought she would. Which is great! She is a bit more quiet but hopefully with time we can become great friends as well.
This past week I have been praying and going to the Lord in fervent prayer to help me accomplish all my goals that I have for this transfer. I received a very clear answer this past week one night during my prayer. It was a thought that came into my head right after asking for guidance and help, the words were, "okay, (as if it was a confirmation of everything I was asking for) now go and do it" I know that the Lord is willing and ready to help us in anything we ask him. I also know that we just have to go out and do it. We are the medium which miracles come to happen. I cant wait for a miracle to happen I have to be out there and giving it my all and be in a position that invites miracles to come about. I have been growing every single day of my mission. there has not been a day that has gone by that i can say that i have not learned something new or increased my knowledge on something.
One of my goals is to work with the members a lot more that is something hermana Blanco and I started to try doing but hadnt really figured out the best way to do . PMG says that member references are the best ones and we havent really gotten any here in lleida but that is something i want to work on. Part member families and menos activos is right up there on my list too. I want to fortify the ward so that when we bring in new members the ward will be a strong foundation they can stand on. Finding news is something we do daily and I have been seeing many miracles in contacting. If we ask for people who are ready to listen to the gospel then the Lord will do just that AFTER we go out there and do our part.
I love you all and I attached a couple of pictures. The black and white one is of Herm Williams and I in the locotorio. Its in black and white because today was a hurry and rush getting ready day ha. but the other picture is when we were dropping our mini missionaries off last week at the train station. The elders came to help with their luggage.
Have a wonderful week!
love,
Hermana Hair
