So
this week has been pretty crazy for sure! On Tuesday night I was
transferred to my new area and now I'm back in ESPAÑOL! I really miss
working with Sister Fangupo but I'll get to see her soon at the new
missionary training meeting so that'll be good! I am now serving in
Cicero, Illinois with Hermana Starnes and we are in the Chicago 2nd
Ward. So far I absolutely LOVE my new area! I might as well be living in
Mexico with all the tamale stands and other vendors with their Hispanic
foods in the street. And now that the spring weather is coming people
are actually OUTSIDE thawing from winter! So now we have so many people
we can talk to its awesome! So Hermana Starnes is from Colorado Springs
and this is her second transfer in the mission so she's been out a few
months. I'm finishing her training right now and we're having a blast
and a half!
We
also had zone conference my first day here and it was SO GREAT. We had
an awesome lesson about faith and brainstormed about how we can be more
creative in the work just as Elder Perry asked us. We also did this
activity where we got in a circle and threw oranges and hardboiled eggs
to each other. It was so fun! The purpose was to think of the objects as
our investigators and less active members and how we have to work
together to make sure we don't lose any! So that was a pretty awesome
first day. The rest of the week has been filled with planning about how
we will be working in our area and I'm very excited for this new week to
work hard and share my testimony with so many people. I've also been
able to meet a lot of members from the area and they're amazing! I can't
wait to get to know them better.
I
hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday and enjoyed conference this
weekend! I absolutely loved conference and learned so much from the
general authorities. The leaders of the church are so inspired and I am
so thankful we have the opportunity to hear from them twice a year! If
you haven't seen it yet then go online and WATCH IT! There's a really
awesome Easter video that is on the church website as well! It's called
Because He Lives and its like 2 minutes and it's so beautiful! I also
invite everyone to watch that if you haven't already! Especially being
Easter Sunday yesterday I just wanted to say how much I love my Savior,
Jesus Christ. I know He willingly came to the Earth to Atone for the
sins of the world. I know He lives. I know that because He lives we can
turn to Him for anything and at anytime and He will make us strong.
Because He lives we can live with our families forever. Because He lives
we can have hope that one day we can be even as He is. Because He lives
I am a missionary in Chicago. I know this church is true and I find so
much joy in sharing the restored gospel with everyone here! I hope
everyone is doing well, I love you all so very much!
"God loves us deeply, perfectly, and everlastingly."
