A Week of Service!

Well another week has come and gone. It went by super fast, the bulk of our week we spent doing service. Our investigators Nery and Estela moved to another apartment this week, so the Elders and us helped them move, it took parts of 2 days,  one of the Sisters here got sick and ended up in the hospital and had to stay over 2 nights, so we took her companions stuff to her since they were staying over night, so she could have a break, my companion stayed at the hospital for a few hours with sister Fili, and I took her companion sister Davidson home to shower and have a rest. The happy thing is sister Fili is feeling much better now, so everything is going well.

The exciting thing is though that Arnulfo who just got baptized, he went to Fresno this week and will be there for 2 weeks, he said he wanted to go to church there, so we got the address and he went and he said the members were so nice to him. It makes me soo happy to know that my recent converts are being taken care of.

Also 2 times a year the Stake does this mini-missionary program, and this year another Stake scheduled it the same weekend, so we had several young women sign up and not many sisters, so normally you would just have 1 young woman with you but this year we ended up with 3, it was fun, but I felt like a Jehovah's witness, going around as a pack and also only 1 of the girls knew Spanish so it was a very interesting but fun experience. I really loved it. It was so crazy, and to top off the weekend we had 2 baptisms in our ward on Sunday, from the Elders, so man this ward is on fire, and we will be finding more this week.

Well thanks for your love and support, and all your many letters, wait maybe you should check the address, because I haven't seen many recently. just kidding. But I love you all lots!

love, Hermana Love

1st Week as a Trainer!

Well because of the holiday yesterday we are writing today! Yay! Well I survived my 1st week as a trainer, and it's been good, a really good learning experience. My companion is from West Point, Utah! Go figure, were neighbors! She is so sweet,and lucky for me a really hard worker. She has burning fire in her much like I felt too when I came. She started her mission out great. I got her on Tuesday, and then on Wednesday, We had a baptism! Arnulfo finally got baptized!!! I was soo excited! He has been ready forever, and this past Sunday he got confirmed. I had desires to cry for both of those things, because the spirit was so strong and I was soo happy, especially since it's been a long time since my last baptism. We also had a lesson with him last night, with our investigators Nery and Estela, and the spirit was so strong as he told his story of how he came to know this was the true church. It was cool!

We also had trainings this week, for being trainers and trainees, and I love those meetings because the spirit is always so strong, and we had a powerful meeting as trainers with the president. It was soo awesome. We had a good week. I love Hna. Thayne as well, I feel really lucky although I was super nervous when I learned that I was going to train.

Well I love it here in Rimgrove! and also it's crazy because on Thursday I will have been out on my mission for a year! Wow! time is flying faster than I can keep up. It's soo great!

Also I just want you to know that I know this gospel and this church is true! God loves and knows each one of us individually, and we are so lucky to have Heavenly Father in our lives watching out for us daily, I'm learning daily how perfect God's Love is! I love it!

Love Hna Love

Zone Conferences, Exchanges, and Elder Alonso!

Wow this week was packed of a bunch or random and super awesome things. It begun with Tuesday when we had zone conference, while there we did some role-plays, the way it works is one companionship is the missionaries and the other companionship 1 is an investigator and the other an evaluator. I was the evaluator, but President came to our group to, and I learned so much from him, although we were trying to receive revelation for our investigator, I learned a lot for just being a missionary just by observing, It was soo awesome! The whole thing was filled of the spirit, and it was something to keep me going.

Later on in the week we had exchanges, I stayed here with Hermana Zamora, she's from Mexico, it was good we spoke in Spanish our whole exchange and it was super exhausting, but it was good because I learned a lot! She is really nice! I like exchanges but I was happy to have my companion back.

We also had a special meeting with all the Spanish missionaries in Arcadia, where Elder Alonso from the 70 from Mexico came and spoke just to us, and right after he had a fireside with all our members it was really good and powerful, and the elders had a baptism in our ward.

We are still working on getting Arnulfo baptized things keep coming up, but were working through the details and it should be working out soon, I hope soon, because transfers are this week and I may leave my area but who really knows? Anyway were getting close with some investigators and are hoping for everything to work out. But it's really awesome!

Love, Hermana Love
