I wanted to tell you all about my new comp! SHE IS AWESOME! Her name is Hermana Gilvonio. She is from Peru. She has 13 months in the mission. She is an amazing teacher! I am really excited to be her companion. We havent even been together for a week, and she has already taught me so much. She is an excellent teacher. She is not afraid to just start teaching. She nows how to connect with people. And she always relates what we are talking about to the Restoration. Really, it is amazing. I love teaching with her. MOst times, we I am about to say something, and she begins to say what was in my thoughts.
We had a really great week this week. So Hermana Gilvonio and I saw so much success. I was nervous before the cambio began because we didnt have very many people to teach. All week, I had been praying to find more people to teach, more new investigators. And we were also fasting for our area. And I now realize the power of prayer, faith, and hope. We found 11 new investigators! And a family! That is truly a miracle for an area that is a little bit harder to work in. Heavenly Father truly does answer our prayers when we have faith and work hard.
I wanted to share one experience that we had yesterday. We were knocking doors, and we found a woman from Cuba. Lets just say that she didnt really like North Americans too much. Or the church for that matter. She basically lectured us for about 15 minutes. I stood there quietly. She then asked my companion why the American was so quiet. I told her very simply that I was not here to judge anyone based on where they were from, and all I wanted to do was share message with her that I know is true. I gave her a folleto, and we left. I was thinking about this experience and why we had it. I really dont think that she will ever read the folleto, but I think that Heavenly Father lets us have experiences like that so that we can feel the truth in our hearts as we testify. I teared up as I told her it was true. I felt the truth in my heart. That experience was for me to learn and strengthen my testimony. I know that this church is true, and I want to share it with everyone.
I am super happy and super excite to see what this transfer has to bring.
How is everyone there?
