Transfers!

Us and Pedro Alvarez (member) and Julio Cesar (his friend who we´re currently teaching)

  Hola Todos!

I have officially completed my third transfer in the field! I have a strange mix of emotions, feeling like I just barely got here, but also like I've been here for years. I can definitely say that I have become a new person in the last 5 months, which is cool and really weird, but all for the better!

This was my last week with my trainer! Hermana Hernandez has been with me all 3 transfers that I´ve been in the field, but flies home Wednesday morning! I am incredibly sad to lose her.  Tomorrow I get to meet my new companion, Hermana Sanchez from Honduras. I have never met her and have no idea what she is like, but I´m hoping for the best!

Milagros de la semana:  (miracles of the week)

We had two of the people we´ve been teaching come to church for the first time this week! We've been teaching them both for about a month, but for some reason or another they kept not being able to come, but this week they both came!! They´re Hermana Angela and Hermano Jose Alfredo. They are both fantastic. Angela is the sister who I talked about in an earlier email who was super excited to hear we had a prophet today. 

Jose Alfredo is a brother who we teach sporadically, because his work hours are unpredictable and he's almost never there for the appointments when we set them, but is so incredibly in tune with the spirit. One day we found him sitting in his car out in front of his house reading the Book of Mormon, and he started telling us everything he had learned and understood and felt. For a long time he's struggled with an addiction to alcohol, but while he was reading he told us he had this strong impression that we needed to protect and take care of our bodies. He started telling us all about how they are gifts for us from God, perfect and beautiful, but with all that we do to them we are destroying His beautiful creations. He has since stopped drinking completely.

I love and miss you all!
