Hello
Mommy!! And the rest of the world....
Transfers have not
happened yet. They will happen this Wednesday!!
We still don’t know who goes and who
stays, but I’m pretty sure that I will be leaving good ole Villa Alemana. I’ve been here for 7 months now....25 new
hermanas are arriving to the mission this change and most of them are Latinas. Who wants to bet that I’ll be training one of
them? :)
Ha! Ha! Life is good. Always
learning and always growing.
So we had a baptism
this past weekend! It was really cool! It was our investigator who had to get married
and quit smoking, so it was awesome to be able to see him get baptized! The life of him and his family has changed a
ton in the past few months! I feel like
perhaps that was one of the reasons Heavenly Father let me stay in this area so
long because I literally got to see the whole process. It was a HUGE testimony builder for me. I love this family sooo much! I look up to them and all of the sacrifices
that they’ve been making for the Lord! There
is a difference in the feel of the home, in their presence, and in how they
are. They truly have become Disciples of
Christ and they are committed to continue deepening their conversions, which
will happen as they live the gospel.
Here is a pic of
Carlos with the old bishop (far left) who baptized him and his family (the rest
of his family are already members, except the baby, of course, and one daughter).
Anyway, I don’t know what else to tell
guys. Things are going good. I’m trying to fight not falling into “a rote
pattern” of being a missionary. It’s
hard sometimes always having to put so much of myself out there all the time. My personality, my feelings, my testimony, and
my heart. It really is a constant battle
and it never seems to let up any.
I’m surprised that I’ve
made it this far in my mission. I never
thought that I could... That’s how I know the Savior, Jesus Christ is helping
me. He has been able to make more out of
me than I ever could have made out of myself. I know that He really is the Son of God and
that He loves and watches over us. He is
the great Redeemer and He will come again and reign in all His glory. I love Him with all that I am and I am just
trying to do the very best that I can to serve Him. I love you all sooo much!! Thank you for being my loving family and for
all of your support!! Peace out, trout!
LOVE,
Hermana Hermansen
