HAPPY NEW YEAR

¡Hola Mamacita!

Haha I don't know if I really have any funny stories this week although you have to admit I am pretty funny :P 

So it turns out that I was only sick for about 2 days, then I got better. My companion on the other hand got sick and has been consistently sick for the past week. ¡La pobre de mi compañera! So I've been giving her all the tissues that I bought that I actually didn't need :P 

Haha Hna Vergaray received a call from one of the APs (Assistants to the Mission President) today about her driving. He invited her to do better :P lately she's been getting a bunch of feedback from our tiwi in the car "check your speed!" and she got 2 "aggressive driving’s in 2 days. :P To the speeding, she just replies, "this is why I like GPS's, they always tell me the speed limit!" We don't have a GPS because I don't like GPS's and I know the area well enough that I don't need one. HAHA! 

For New Year's Eve, we had meetings starting at 6pm with other missionaries in our zone and we set some baptism goals. The APs were there to tell us that we need to repent and be better, so we had to read 35 pages in the missionary handbook and take notes and pray about what we could do better. Ya, Happy New Year!

To start the new year, I went on exchanges with Hna Clark. She's so funny, since we're going home together we occasionally engage in trunky talk because, ya know, we're in the same boat here. Last week we received a letter from President Jardine talking about how we need to keep going and working hard for our last transfer and today we received an email talking about our future plans. :P oh no! I don't want to think about future plans! Haha

During our exchange, Hna Clark said if we are still in the same area next transfer we need to go to the mall and buy new outfits for when we go home. :P I feel like lately everyone wants me to be trunky, it's weird. Sure, there might be trunky comments/moments, but believe me, I am not trunky!

I found a scripture the other day that I like a lot in D&C 128:22. It talks about temple work and doing service for the dead, but it can apply to other things too!

22 Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing. Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free.

That's what we do, we keep moving forward and not backward, we strive to help others to accept Jesus Christ and be freed from sin whether they are living or dead. "On to the Victory!" Yeah, it's been a good week :)

Para Siempre Dios esté con Vos

Con Amor,
