So I hear there´s a wedding or something of that sort this
week.. Well congratulations to the happy couple. I´m assuming that their
happy after all I can´t really see it for myself.
This week
has been pretty great. It´s been busy and everyday was full of things to
do, which is really nice because in this sector it´s usually difficult
to find plenty of things to do. I´m pretty sure I´ve told you about our
golden investigator. (the one we contacted when Hna. Windous rolled her
ankle) Well we´ve taught her a few times. On our second visit we asked
her to be baptized on the 18th, she said she wanted to learn more and
didn´t think that she´d be ready for the 18th. We teach her about twice a
week and during one of our visits this week she asked us what other day
we will be having a baptismal service. She said that she can´t stop
thinking about it. We told her whenever she´s ready we have a service.
We extended to her the meta (goal) of Oct. 2. I really think that will
happen. She came to church with us on Sunday, she stayed for all 3 hours
and other than the crying babies in sacrament meeting I think she liked
it. I am so excited for her and I just love seeing more people come unto
our father in heaven. I know he loves each and every one of his
children and just wants more anything to see them come unto him so that
he can POUR out his blessings upon them.
Thursday we had capacitaciónes (trainings) where Pres. and Hna.
Laycock talked to us again. Pres. focused more on the things he talked
about during zone conference, things like how everything we do should
be helping us to have the spirit with us more. The Holy Ghost is the
perfect teacher, I´m definitely not. That´s one thing I´ve loved about
my companionship with Hna. Windous. We have always got along so well and
we´ve never even had the slightest bit of tension, that has enabled us
to have and teach with the spirit. We also listened to a talk that Elder
Holland gave in the MTC in Jan. 2011. He mentioned that one of the main
reasons why they came out with PMG was that they realized there was
something wrong with the missionary program when the missionaries that
were coming back weren´t changed by their missions. It was such a
powerful talk, I want to be a missionary forever! maybe not in the way I
am right now and maybe not even preaching everyday but living with the
missionary spirit.
So Thursday night Hna. Windous and I were walking back to the house
when we got a call from the Hnas. in Ñuñoa 2. They said that the
assistants to Pres. Laycock called and that Pres. wanted the Hnas. in my
zone to go to the temple on Friday. Well I wasn´t going to fight with
that. :) I was so excited to go and I was even more excited at the
thought of going to the temple two weeks in a row. :D. I really can´t
imagine what I would do if I didn´t have a temple in my mission.
This is the last week of the change and we things to do almost
everyday so I know that this week is going to fly by. I´m kind of sad
about that because I´m pretty sure I´m going to get a new companion.
Hna. Windous and I have been together for 3 changes and it´s rare for a
companionship to be together longer than that. There are a lot of
fantastic Hnas. in my mission though so I´m excited to see what changes
bring. I am also interested to see if I´ll change sectors. WE´LL SEE!
Until next week!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!
-Hna. Howe
