Week 36 (January 23, 2017)

Well, this week the main event that happened was CAMBIOS!!! (transfers)  My comp, Hna Meza got transfered to the other side of the mission, and I stayed here in my area Bayover in the Zone Magnolias, and my new comp is Hermana Velasquez from Arequipa Peru!! She has also been in the mission 2 months, so I am her step mom in the mission. The mission language  and family trees are super funny. but that means I am her trainer for the 2nd half of her training! Its been a little stressful with all the changes, but she is super awesome.  She is a quite a bit older than me so its funny that my 'daughter' is older than me haha if that makes any sense, but anyways.

This week we were also teaching the familia Hinojosa and they had there interviews for there baptism and everything seems clear for this saturday!! we are so excited and they were definetly so prepared!! The lord is working with them and they feel that it is all true!! They have been continually praying for an anwser and felt like they werent recieving one. Then we felt impressed to ask what they were expecting for an anwser, and Oscar (the dad) said 'i dont know, like a dream or vision or something' and so then we shared the scripture in 3 nephi 11:3 about how the spirit isnt going to jump out and scream saying its all true! but that the spirit is a still small voice, which mulitiple times they had said they felt more calm and peace when reading and praying and everything and they definetly have been feeling the spirit and just need to recognize that that was the spirit talking to them! It was so amazing.  

I know this church is true with all my heart! And that this gospel is true!! I am so greatful for this opportunity i have to be hear in Peru!!

Love you all,

Love Hna Smoot.
