Week 24

Hola! This week has been soooo interesting, hahaha! First of all my transfer news is that I am staying in Steamboat Springs and my new companion is Hermana Bryson! My old comp from the CCM! I am super pumped to get to serve with her again, and to be in Steamboat again with these amazing people! Sister Briceno is going to Gunnison (which is even colder than steamboat) and i am sad to see her go but i am excited to hear about all of her success in Gunnison! She is an amazing missionary! This week we also had the Worldwide Missionary Broadcast and it was sooo good to hear from the apostles and to get some advice about the work. They also changed our missionary schedule so that we plan in the morning instead of at night, and so that we have a more flexible schedule for our specific areas! It is really weird and is going to take some getting used too, but it is really good too! We also start our Pday at 8 instead of 10 so we have a longer Pday! So that is the crazy news this week! 

     This week was very good with some very sad moments! Our investigator Mitzi who is from the Philippines got some sad news this week! Her sister in the Philippines had a stroke and was in a coma and passed away! We had a very good lesson right before about Eternal Families and Mitzi received a blessing! It was very sad to see her going through that, I cant even imagine. But she has so much faith and she relies on the lord. She just kept saying I know it is all for a reason and that the lord needed my sister. The miracle in all of this is that the night before she passed away is when we had our lesson. And we invited her over to a member sister Lockes house, and Sister locke was the exact person that Mitzi needed at this time! Sister Locke has had the experience of losing a child, and her testimony about the plan of salvation was so sweet and sincere! I know that she really helped Mitzi that day! I have never felt my testimony grow so much like it did that night! I know that when you share your testimony it grows! The knowledge of a forever family is something sooo precious to me! I Am so thankful that we have members here to help us and strengthen our investigators! Mitzi sadly had to go back to the Philippines because she wants to be there for her family. She was sad to go and we were sad to see her go, but she said she is going to find the missionaries in the Philippines. Everyone please pray for her and her family! 

Sorry yall my message got sent half way through hahahah! Also this week we had our Member missionary work fireside and it went very well! We basically just told them if they invite them to activities and to dinners and our just their friends, we would commit and ask them to take the lessons. That way if they say no its all good because they will think the missionaries are weird and not the members, and It doesn't matter, Because we are getting transferred! hahaha. But the spirit was there, and I know that the members are the true missionaries! I am excited to continue to work with this small amazing ward in Steamboat! The people here are soo amazing! I am thankful for this work and i am thankful for this time I have to grow my testimony and to help other people grow theirs! I am excited to go into this next transfer! I cant believe I am almost to 6 months, it is all flying by! Shoutout to Kadence who is leaving on Wednesday! You are going to be an amazing missionary! LOS QUIERO!
