Feeling So Blessed

Written March 4, 2013

Hey there family!!!!

Well I am glad that you got my travel plans because I didn't. But there is an Hermana here, a senior sister that will be going home with me in May and she has been asking if we have the same travel plans and I just say, I have no idea but I am sure everything will be taken care of. Wow, Brookie told me that Hermano Bridge is going go pick up Connor in Argentina, that is super cool, we will be pretty close together here in America Sur.
 

This week came and went and before you know it we have changes again!! Next we have changes but there are a BUNCH of new missionaries coming into the mission. Like the Elders there said that there are so many missionaries going out that the church almost doesn't know what to do with them. Here we have 15 new sister missionaries coming in!! That is crazy!! Almost all of the Hermanas in the mission will be training in the next couple of changes! President has already told us that my companion and I will be training here in our sector and so we will be dividing up our investigators and our sector so that we can start working with the newbies. I only pray that my companion is Latin!! The odds are on my side since only one is coming in from the states!! It just makes it a little bit more difficult when your companion doesn't understand what is going on, but not impossible. 

 

This last week was really a good week. I just feel like I am soooo happy right now in my mission. I really have learned so many things, and am just realizing them now. But I just feel super blessed to be in this sector with the investigators that we have and my old sectors are progressing like crazy...well maybe I was the problem...but I am just so happy with what is taking place right now. The blessings truly come after the trials, or maybe I just learned how to open my eyes and see the tender mercies of the Lord. I think sometimes the mission is like we are working with our head down and we can't see what is taking place around us, but then when we leave and look back we see all the beautiful things that happened as we worked.

I read an amazing part in Jacob 5 this week when I was learning about the Lord`s vineyard. Well lets just say that the work is not just for those who have name tags. We all have our part in the Lord`s vineyard.

Well I have to go I love you all!!!!!
