Lots of great news and great things happening!! It was a wonderful and full week too. :)
Where
to start? Last week with Hermana Villena. The time with her was sure
sweet! She will always be a great friend. another crazy fast 6 weeks.
And onto the next here in Talara with Hermana Macias!!! :) with accent
on the i but I cant figure out how to do that on this keyboard. :) She
is from MEXICOOO!! And is super fun and outgoing and ready to work!
Hermana Gutierrez trained her the same time I trained hna Gozan! And
President Rowely changed some things. Now, just Im a sister leader, not
my companion! And we wont be traveling to Tumbes. So we will visit the 2
other companionships of sisters here in Talara, and we will do 2
intercambios with each of them so that I will be with each of them once!
Its super different and interesting, but I know it is through revelation that president made these changes. Im excited to keep serving
and keep going and doing! I love the attitude of Nefi in nefi capitulo
3. He really didnt know why or how he was going to keep the
commandments of God, but he knew hed prepare away, so he just did it! So
Im ready to do what the Lord commands.
We had
leader council this week, and once again it was incredible. President
talked a lot about the need for increased emphasis in family history, and the
need to help all we are teaching make accounts and get going on this! So
we are doing it. Also we talked a lot about the importance of weekly
planning and daily planning. I loved before the mission listening to mom
and dad sunday
night plan their week out. Being united in a plan and then fulfilling
the plan during the week to accomplish our goals really is how we can
see miracles and progress. So we are working on that too--improving our
planning sessions and making sure that every act during the week helps
us accomplish these plans and goals using every minute wisely.
We had a sweet experience Sunday.
We always make a plan in the morning before church at 8, and then again
at 10 for the other branch, to go and pick up investigators or less
active members. Well, for some reason I felt we should go to pick up a
second counselor of talara alta. Well, we did, and actually woke him up!
His whole family came to church with us. Later in consejo de rama, he
shared how thanks to the sisters, he was at church, how he had worked
all night and slept in his church close, and our knock got him and his
fam up. I know that as we fast and pray the spirit can really guide us
to do what we need to do.
Way to go Jared in
getting your eagle scout!! loved seeing all those pictures and am so
blessed to have such incredible examples in my life. My brothers are the
best.
I love here how there are little stores
everywhere! LIke every 5 houses has a store with all your basic needs.
What we need is always close by! Im going to start a store in our front
porch too.
Love yall tons!! have a wonderful week, and I will too with my new companion!!! Go and do!!!
Love
Hermana Garlick
