Well from the title you can see this is the last week of my second transfer! Time sure does go by pretty fast! But so next time I email I may be in a new area probably in a trio with my MTC companions but I will know for sure when we get transfer calls at the end of this week. But anyway this week was pretty crazy! My companion wasn't feeling so great this week, and was sure that she would be going home at the end of this transfer or maybe even at the end of last week because she is soo sick! But on Thursday we met our new mission president and his wife! President and sister Becerra! They are way awesome! President Pike was super awesome and really prepared this mission to go forward and take off! President Becerra has a great enthusiasm for missionary work and really is getting our mission excited to continue in the work! He talked a lot about faith and basically says nothing happens unless we have faith and are willing to exercise our faith to find new investigators. Anyway I was super exciting!
Now going back to my companion after we had our meeting with President Becerra, she went into the interview planning on getting a date of whn she would return home, but because our president is awesome! She came out knowing she was going to stay! I was super excited for her! Because she is so close to being finished with her mission and she is a really hard worker! So she is going to stay and finish her mission so I'm super happy for her! Especially since she is such a great missionary and has a very good personality.
Then we ended up the week with a baptism yesterday! it was such a super nice experience and really spiritual, because Jose the one who got baptized is soo awesome! He went from a crazy life, to when the missionaries in english work found him he was smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and by the time a week later they passed him off to us, to 3 a day to completely quitting 2 weeks after we met him, and then also the first time he came to church in sneakers and the next time in dress shoes to just this past week he bought a suit and he said the only time he had ever worn a tie before is when he got married and now he bought ties and a suit instead of paying his tickets so he could get his license back. Missionary work is soo awesome all day yesterday he was talking about how he was soo happy and he is already working on helping his family receive the gospel and come to church. None of his family came to the baptism but I feel he is setting a great example for his family!
I love being a part of this work and being able to help others have happiness in their lives! Well I hope all is going well for everyone back at home! I love you all!
Love, Hermana Love
