Week 59 (July 3, 2017)

Our District

My Comp and I

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HERMANA PLAZA (from Colombia)

Lorenzo y Raul :)

Well, this week was pretty normal except yesterday was my comps birthday! So since I already had stuff from my birthday, we put up the birthday sign and blew up some baloons on saturday night for the floor.  I hope she had a good day :)

Well on monday we had pday as a district, so we had pizza from pizza hut and played Uno and half (or a 20 min of.. its a really long game) of Monopoly :) and watched Facing the Giants. which all was a really fun day.

This week we have also continued working with Lorenzo, who separated from his wife, who doesnt want to listen to us, and doesnt want to get a divorce to her other husband before, to get married to Lorenzo.  Its really complicated, but Lorenzo really wants to get baptized! So in order to live the law of chastity, he decided to move out. So we will continue working with him for his baptism hopefully July 22.

We are also continuing working with Jhonatan, who wants to get baptized, but wants to be more sure, before. But he is already planning on a mission haha so I dont know why he is waiting so long. but thats when we learn patience :)

Well, tonight we find out transfers! Which I am pretty sure I will be leaving, but then again we never know.

I am so greatful for this opportunity to be here! This transfer my comp and I have really been focusing on FAITH.  Because if we set goals, then doubt that we wont complete them, we arent going to complete them, but as we set goals by the spirit, trusting in god to help us know what to do, where to go, and who to talk to to complete our goals, he will help us! And we have found a lot more success in finding new investigators!  We can apply this not only in the mission but in our real lives too! AS we obey gods commandments, having the faith and trust that he will help us and bless us, he will bless us! We must do all we can and then thats when those miracles come.  I am so grateful for all of you and all your support.  Trust in god with all your heart and all will be ok. It might not be easy, but it will be worth it.

Thank you for your love and support.

I know this church is true! and that the book of mormon is true and that Jesus is the Christ, our savior and redeemer. 

I hope you all have a beautiful week!

Love, Hna Smoot
