First of all, I am so happy to
announce that my trainer is the one and only... HERMANA WRIGHT!!! Wooo!!! I am
so happy!! Seriously, Hermana Wright is an amazing trainer and I am learning so
much from her!!! When we tell people that we are neighbors in Utah every one
goes crazy and its so fun!!! We are having an adventure out here in El
Salvador, that's for sure!! We are opening a new area called Las Naranjos! This
area is way high up in the mountains, so at night it is so cold but it is so
beautiful so it{s all good!!! It kind of reminds me of going camping back home
in Utah! Hermana Wright and I live in this small little red cabin, up in the
mountains, and are having an awesome adventure together! It is like nothing I
ever expected!
This past week we have
been working really hard to get to know the members and the area since we are
opening the area. Here, they just have a really small branch so we are
working hard to transform this into a ward. There is a lot of work to do,
that is for sure but we are up for the challenge!! We just talk to everyone and
ask for references from everyone!! We have to be brave, because this gospel is
so important, people need to hear it! Hermana Wright is a great example to me!
When we were on this crazy bus she just got up and introduced us as the missionaries and we walked through this crowded bus and talked to everyone! I
just love being able to talk to people and say that I am a missionary for the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!! There is definitely a special
spirit here in the mission field!! I know that Jesus Christ, my Savior is with
Hermana Wright and I every step of the way! I know that there are people here
that need this gospel, we just have to work hard to find them!!! However, all
of the people we have met here are so loving and nice!!! We have one
investigator right now that we are trying to commit to baptism and she is just
so sweet !! I am excited to see her growth in these next few weeks!! The people
have so much gratitude even though they have so little, its amazing to see!! I
can see the light of the Savior in their eyes and I just want to help them come
to understand the truthfulness of this gospel! I can see that there is a lot of
potential for this area!!
I am so excited to
continue my work here in this area!! Its so different here in El salvador, but
I haven't had to eat any crazy food yet, haha!! I will prob have to do that soon
though, but I am up for it! Also, The language is coming along, I just need to
keep working at it! I am enjoying learning spanish and I cant wait to be able
to speak the language so I can help more people! I know that with my Savior I
can do all things that are necessary for me to help the people.
I am so grateful for
this gospel!! I know that the Savior of this World lives and that he will help
us everyday if we will just turn to Him and always think of him. We are sons
and daughters of a Heavenly Father who has so much love for us all! I
know that He wants the best for us and will help us to achieve all things that
we need to achieve if we just believe! One of my favorite scriptures is 1 Nephi
1 verse 7 and it talks about how Christ can do all things according to his will
for us if we just have faith!
Todo Esta bien!! I am
happy!!
