My mom told me that I didn't
send an email last week. I don't remember not sending one, but that's probably
because I just forgot. I feel like the weeks are passing so quickly I can't separate
the events into the weeks in which they happened.
This week we got some
good/bad news. The bad news is that we will not get to see Monica get baptized,
but the good news is that she's moving to Utah so I will get to see her after
the mission! And she wants to go with everything ready so that she can be
baptized there. We're pretty excited about that.
We've really been struggling
to find new investigators. The people here and not super interested in what we
have to tell them and the majority of the people in the street don't live in
this area, they just come to work. We've started inviting the member to plan
family home evenings with us and this week we had three. It all went pretty
well and I think this will be a good start for us. We still need to think of other
ways to find that could work for us, but so far we've been pleased with the
response we've seen from the member.
This week there was a
huge YSA dance here in San Luis and so YSA from Aguascalientes and Zacatecas
came and on Sunday they came to our ward. It was so interesting to see people I
met in my first area and think about everything that has changed since I was
there with them. I also got to see one of the hermanas that was my companion
for a day when I was without companion. She said that everyone in Aguas misses
me a lot which made me sad, because I'm not there, but happy that they miss me
too.
Well this week I would
like to share two thoughts that I read in Liahonas:
"Life is
beautiful and worth living." -Presidente Uchtdorf
"What we should
remember when we behold Him is that because of Him, and all He did and all He
was and is, we too can triumph. We also can overcome. We can live abundantly in
the midst of trials. If we choose to “behold” Him and accept and apply His
saving gospel, He will save us. He will rescue us from the effects of our own
fallen natures and foibles, and He will save us from sin, from spiritual
mediocrity, and from ultimate, eternal failure. He will purge, refine,
beautify, and eventually even perfect us. He will give us joy and peace. He is
the key to abundant life." -Elder L. Whitney Clayton
Un fuerte abrazo,
Hermana Schmidt
