Amazing days

Dear family and friends,

What to say about this week... We have had some amazing days. On Tuesday we had intercambios (exchanges) with the sister leaders, and for the first time I left my area for a 24 hour period to work with one of our leaders. I was a little nervous, but I learned a lot and ended up really enjoying Ciudad Delgado for the time I was there. While I was in Delgado, my companion and the other sister leader posted two new fechas bautismales (baptismal dates). So that´s exciting! :)

The young single adults of this ward are really pilas (sharp, or motivated) to help us in the work here. On Saturday a new jovencita (girl) named Anita started going visiting with us. She´s in her early twenties and wants to go on a mission. She actually lived in Houston for almost the whole of last year, so we´ve had fun talking about our favorite restaurants in the States. Haha I don´t know how much English she speaks because we always speak Spanish. (It´s weird for me now to hear or speak anything but Spanish. I don´t like speaking English anymore. Más bonito el español. (Spanish is so pretty.) Only in my journal and on Mondays do I ever muddle into English.) She´s been a really great help.

To any of you who are going through a hard time in life, or are worried for the future, remember Doctrina y Convenios 36:6: Look unto me in every thought- doubt not, fear not.

As John Bytheway says, ´This too shall pass.´

And 1 Corintios 10:13: The Lord is faithful, and with the temptation (or trial) provides a way to overcome it. Sometimes things are hard. But as the saying goes, when you can´t stand, kneel. And pray until you feel better.

Much love from me to you!
