Hijas de Hermana Gonzalez. (Daugthers of Hermana Gonzalez). I felt very blessed to be able to say a last goodbye to the legendary Hna Gonzalez who taught me everything I know. She finished her mission and is back with her family in Guatemala. I love her with all my heart.
HOLA, my wonderful family and friends!
The big news this week was the reunion de cambios change meetings. Hna Escalante went to a different area. I will stay here and show Hermana Infanzon de Philadelphia all around Apopa. Hace poco (Recently) she was one of the hermanas líderes (the equivalent of an AP but for the Hermanas), and I feel very privileged to have such an inspired, sweet companion. She´s only been here about 5 days but has already left an impression on the ward and the work. She is a finding machine! We have quite a few new investigators thanks to our mutual effort. I am sooo excited and thrilled to be able to have her for six weeks. And ojalá, un poco más (hopefully, a little more) after that.
Saying goodbye to Hna Gonzalez was hard. She finished her mission and went home in this cambio (change). She taught me everything I know. She has had a huge impact not just on my mission but on my life. It´s not for nothing that missionaries playfully nickname their trainers ´mamá´ or ´papá.´ We both cried (many of you know I don´t cry easily) and hugged for a long time. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for the privilege of being one of her ´daughters,´ and I will be working even harder from now on to keep up her legacy.
Our investigators are doing so great. We have a lot of really promising ones, as well as many promising contacts. In particular I had a faith-building experience yesterday when I contacted a woman on the bus. After I introduced myself and a little about our message (We are missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and as missionaries we share a message about how God´s plan blesses you and your family) she told me her mother recently died and that her one hope was that she would see her again after death. As she got off the bus, she yelled, ´You have to come to my house and teach me! Make sure you come to my house!´
Wow. Contacts are rarely so positive. It was really cool to see how the Lord put a prepared person in my way. I hope all of you are taking advantage of even small opportunities to share the gospel. Be an example of the believers!
Love you!
