My new companion is the wonderful Sister Lawson, from a small town
in California :) She is actually a convert to the church for almost 2
years now! She is soooo wonderful, and really is just a fireball
missionary. I know that I am going to learn a lot from her :) We have
only been together for a total of 3 hours so far, but we have been able
to talk to each other about some of our goals, and basically we are just
ready to hit the pavement running. It is going to be awesome!!
Basically to sum up my last transfer in Crossroads and Overlake, I
would say that I have never had so much fun in 6 weeks. We met so many
amazing people, and saw so many miracles. From crazy old men who called
us his "angels," the miracle Chavez family, and soccer fiestas, every
day was an adventure. I learned so much from my dear companions,
Hermanas Christiansen and Stoddard, and I am so grateful for these women
in my life. They have strengthened me so much. Now it is my job to keep
up the progress I have made, and then strive for even better.
If there is one thing I have learned this week, it is that faith is
not a passive, nor stagnant thing. It is real, it is living, and it
needs to be an active part of our entire lives. Religion is not a 'club'
nor a social phenomenon. It is something that shapes us into who we
are, and gives us sunshine on the darkest of days. I am so grateful for
my faith in Jesus Christ. It is something that strengthens me every
day.
Yo se que Jesucristo es mi Salvador. Yo se que El vive y que por
medio de El, podemos llegar a ser mejores cada dia. Yo se que el poder
del la Expiacion de Cristo es real. no puedo negarlo. Yo se que por
medio de Jose Smith, Dios restauro su iglesia verdadera. Le amo a mi
Dios. Soy su misionera, y voy a testificar de su amor a todos en mi
camino.
I love you all so much. I hope you have a wonderful week. Pray for me and my new area :) Les Quiero!!!!
