Still in Inman

This week was definitely a week!! 

some highs: 
- we had transfers and I'm staying in Inman!!
- Rogelio brought his brother Rolando to church, who we are now teaching?? Perhaps 
- Tony has started taking the lessons and is really doing awesome. He LOVES the book of Mormon and is already in Alma (!!) He also came to church this week with Kayla:) 
- Kayla got her temple recommend on Sunday and we get to go with her to do baptisms for the dead!
- Bible class!!  We started a combined Bible class this week with the elders on Wednesday nights and we actually got such a good turnout!! More people in the south will come if you call it Bible study but we still drop some BOM references in there.
- My homegirl Bessie gave me a wwjd bracelet 

On a sadder note, sis Marcheschi got transferred. Sad days over here bc we were always on the same wavelength and worked hard together. buttt oh well haha. Inman is still thriving! The members here are made of gold and are really working hard to involve themselves in missionary work, which is always awesome. 

One miracle we had this week was with our friend Kimberly. She was a media referral and the first time we met her she said we were fine to talk to her, but she was never going to change from being a Baptist. We told her that was OK, we were only there to share. We ended up giving her a Book of Mormon 6 days ago and she's already in 3 Nephi. She texted us a few days ago saying she just can't stop reading... woohooo!!

This week was definitely hard, with my companion leaving and lots of people dropping us. But, as I started to look for the little miracles, the discouraging days started to get better. 
In personally study this week I was reading in Mormon and came across the scripture, "behold I am a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and is the same God who created the heavens and the earth, and all things that are in them." (Mormon 9:11) 

It's a pretty amazing promise that God hasn't changed. The same God who parted the red sea is performing miracles all around us every day! We just have to be looking for them, even the small ones:)

La Vida - Missionary Style

Since i probably won't write a letter muahaha I decided I'd write you guys one since I don't think I've ever done that  My week was good. My comp is good she's super fun. She definitely likes to work a little ~slower~ which is an adjustment but it's alright.  Had a zone conference with our new president and his 6 kids, his youngest is 3! Haha it was funny they introduced themselves and the 3 yr old was up there screaming the whole time lol. His oldest is 15, I think. His wife speaks pretty good Spanish, she studied it in college, although never served a mission. They lived in China for a few years, because when you're super rich you can do that kind of thing. So, they all speak fluent Chinese so that's kind of weird.  But ya he's cool.   He goes "ya when I got here, I thought president Escobar was going to talk to me about the rules and the standards, but he just gave me like 50 hugs"  It was SO funny because that's very typical preside

Hermana Party Planning

  Hii everyone What a weeeek!!  Started off getting a random vaccine from a south american doctors office, that looked like it belonged in a horror movie, in hopes of not getting deported haha. Do I know what it was for? No. But my arm really hurts Other than that, this week was pretty dang good!! We were walking down the street one day when we met Irene, who we ended up talking to and sharing a scripture with. Halfway through, she told us she was a member of our church, but just hadn't been since she was 14. She invited us over for dinner the next day and we ended up having a really powerful lesson about the Book of Mormon with her and her husband who is not a member. Then on Sunday they all came to church, it was the best miracle ever!!  The second-best part of this week though was definitely the ward party. My comp and I have turned into the party planning committee because this ward hasn't had any activities since covid. So, we planned weekly FHE, ven sigue me, and a talent

Family History Baptism

Well just start off with the best news ever!! The Perez family was baptized this Saturday!!! Best. Day. Ever.  About a month and a half ago Hermana Fernández and I started teaching Liliana and her kids. It's been so incredible to watch them change and progress in the gospel. From the first time they came to church, they were super committed to the gospel. Her jóvenes have been attending all the activities and when we see them their countenances are just beaming.  The baptismal was a tad bit loco, but in a good way (mostly) hahah.  When we got to the church, the font was filled up like maybe a foot. We were like ahhh crap. We vigorously started filling pots of water and dumping them in the font it was a sight to behold that's for sure.  Sooo many people came to support them, which meant we were all super squished into the room with the baptismal font. Like super squished hahah.  Everything was going great until the Hermano who was directing the meeting decided to take some liber
