time flies when you're having fun...

Just realized I need to learn the word "to fly" in Spanish. But seriously this transfer has been amazing! I felt right at home when we switched rooms and desks the 2nd half of the transfer and I got a bunkbed and my "sister" was on the top bunk! She is awesome, that Hna. Clement! She defintely will be missed in our apartment! I'm so grateful for her example to me of just taking the time and talking to everyone...even if you are late because otherwise all the children on the "sides of the river are dwindling in unbelief" :/ so we are going to keep moving forward and really do our best to take the time and remember that it is the Lord's as well.

 

So this week. Well, we had a great Relief Society activity where they re-innacted the forming of the RS in Joseph Smith's day! It was so cool! I never even new half of those things! And as all awesome ward activities- we had food!! We had some delicious food and I loved that part too :D I also got to know some of the Ward members so that was pretty sweet :DI'm getting there! I made a promise to one of the sisters that left the ward that I would just love them! And the Lord is helping me do that!

 

As for the area - Lourdes is doing really well! She came to that RS activity...but then she missed church :/ Satan works in really mysterious ways and for her, he just gets people to ask her for help, and being the kindest person I've ever met - she just can't say no. and so then church was missed...but she hated that feeling and she still wants to be baptized. Yesterday we taught her about the importance of church and all 3 of us just testified with the words the Holy Ghost put into our mouths! Oh, the Spirit was so strong! Even Lourdes bore her testimony to us of all the changes she is making! She really understands the commandments and is ready to apply them throughout all of her life!
