Familia!
Happy Valentine's Day! I hope y'all had a great day filled
with lots of chocolate and love from loved ones. On my V/day, we bought cotton
candy from some random guy on the street. It was super sweet and sugary but
also awesome.
This week...not sure what to share this week.
First, my convert from Ahuachapan is going on a mission!
He's sending in his papers this week and going to have his call in a few weeks.
Seriously the best feeling ever! His mom is super depressed and sad, and I
talked to her a bit this week to try and animate (gotta love her choice of word) her and everything and she
knows it will be good, but she's just sad to see him go for 2 years.
Aside from that we had some good ups and downs this
week.
But something I learned is that this is the Lord's work.
It's not ours. It's not my work. He is in charge. He knows who is ready and
prepared to hear the Gospel. And He knows who He needs to start preparing por
medio de nosotros (through us). I cannot direct and command this work. Although sometimes I
think I would like to. But the only thing I can do is to trust in God, do the
very best that I can do and know how to do, work to always improve and become
better, and then leave the rest up to Him. And that is what I'm trying to
do.

The church is true. I know it. And I love it.
Love,
Hermana Aycht (How Valentina pronounces my name...she's 2
years old.)
PS We got news about changes, I'm staying here in Los
Naranjos and I'm going to train again...which means I'll be terminando mi
mision aqui (finishing my mission here), which I'm super happy about. Which means Hermana Evans is leaving.
I will miss being her companion, but I'm excited for her to continue and take
the next step in the mission. (I'm guessing keeping the hot water is a nice thought as well...I hope Hermana Evans heads to a warmer area if she has to go back to cold showers.)
