The main river in my
area! Beautiful huh?
Today I got to wear jeans for the first time in 3 months and
I felt normal for the first time in 3 months haha naw. But we moved houses
today because my comp doesnt like our house at all. Its not that bad but its
fine by me because our new house is way nicer. It actually has running water in
the shower instead of a little dribble.
José Manual got baptized Saturday! My 2nd! Actually my real
1st one that was all my comps and mine. Jhoanna was my first but like 90% the
Elders before. Anyways José has a girlfriend and she´s a member! So they are
planning on getting married in September 2015 in the Temple! I wont be on my
mission so I wont get to see it :( but super excited for them!
Angel Gustavo´s baptism has been pushed to this week because
he had stopped progressing and didnt get married. But we had a Great lesson
with him the other day and he started reading the BoM, praying, and attending
church again. And he really wants to get baptized this Saturday so we hope and
pray it happens!
My comp and I finally resolved Everything and things are So unbelievably
better. But now we basically only have one week left and then transfers.
Everyone thinks she will leave and I´ll stay. But on Wednesday we had companion
exchanges for 3 Days! Because when a companionship has problems they do
companionship exchanges for 3 days..I had to stay in my area and be the Senior
companion AGAIN. Yuck. But I tell you what I needed it and I was so blessed
with the companion that I had. Oh my she helped me so much I cant even express.
She regained my faith and confidence and the lessons with our investigators
felt so right. We were teaching people and not just lessons. They were directed
by the Spirit and it was just so relieving to me. I dont know how to explain it
but it was great. So now since this is the last week of my training I have to
be the Senior companion. We had a couple lessons yesterday and I had to start
and lead the whole lesson. I was freaking out haha. But wow I just remembered
what the other companion taught me and the lesson went well. I actually started
a lesson and explained doctrine and taught to their needs. I think haha. It was
nice and I needed it.
Seriously we are having success here in Chiapa de Corzo
because of our Ward. They give us refrences after refrences and they come to
our lessons and the Bishop is awesome and our Mission Leader is unbelievably
Awesome! And he speaks english haha. But seriously I never realized how much a
ward is involved in Missionary work and how missionary work cant function
without a ward. Everybody wishes that they had our Missionary Leader. Always
people are talking about how great he is and just wow we are very blessed
here.
Anyways hope everyone is doing just splendid and I´ll let ya
know what happens next week about companions and where I´ll be. I think I´ll
still be serving in Chiapa de Corzo but who knows. and new mission president!
cool cool
Love you all!
Hermana Grover
