So this week just flew by! There were changes a week
ago. Hermana Jarman is still in her training so we are both still here in
San Lorenzo, but the other Hermanas of San Lorenzo changed a bit. I don´t
know if I told you buy Hermana Kimball is here with me in the ward and when her
companion left she received two more. One is Hermana Ramos, she is from
Brazil and she is just the cutest thing, always saying hi to everyone, and her
other comp is Hermana Thacker!!! That was a really fun surprise. So now
my only three companions that are still in the mission are here with me in San
Lorenzo, so we are just having a blast. Hermana Kimball and Hermana
Thacker go home in February though, but these next six weeks will be fun.
We spent the week just busting our backs trying to get this
one family to church. The one family that was going to drive them, their
car broke down and we found out on Saturday. So we spent a good part of
the day running around and making phone calls to all the members in the ward, but
we found them a ride and they came to church!!! We had a lot of help.
Really, the spirit is a big part of everything I do. I´ve never prayed so
much before in my life!! Like every second I´m praying about something. It
was just a testimony to me that the adversary can´t win this battle because if
we do everything with the Lord´s help, He comes out on top, Always!! I´m so grateful for the gift
of the Holy Ghost. I have a huge testimony that God answers prayers.
This week we have a zone conference and our zone will be
singing as the choir, so that should be interesting. Oh and one of the
members here surprised us with a daughter that we didn´t know existed.
She had been living with her grandma, but she wasn´t running around in the best
of circles. Her mom wanted her to come live with her for awhile. I´m not
sure how we missed the fact that she had another daughter, but Nadia is 13, and
not a member and we are starting to teach her this week.
Oh and Mom!! The kids here just LOVED the glow sticks you
sent. This same family has five other little kids and I´m sure they
played with them for a good two hours straight. They are quite the
novelty here actually. They do play a lot with firecrackers and stuff,
but a lot of kids have never seen these and the just love them.
Other than that, all is well with me. Just happy to
start a new year!! Can´t believe it´s 2015 already.
Rohayhu!!
Hermana Amy Lindsay
