GPS

Hey,

These past couple of weeks have gone really well. My comp and I are white washing the area so its been pretty tough to get around but we love it. 

This past week we made a sweet contact with someone in the MexiCable, its like a cool transport thing thats like a ski lift. So we got her direction to go visit her but the day we were planning on visiting her we realized there were two streets in the area with the same name and they are super far apart. Also to add to it they are super long streets so we had no idea where to start because here the house numbers are usually pretty messed up. We tried calling her but she didnt answerand it was like 740 pm. So my comp and I talked for a sec and we decided to say a prayer and ask what direction we should go. So we said the prayer and we just kept following the spirit. After about 15 mins of walking and following the spirit we found the street. We both ended up saying a prayer and we felt prompted to knock one of the doors....and it turns out it was the house of the girl we were looking for! I know that might not sound that cool but for us it was awesome. We literally found a house completly guided by the spirit. I love the scripture in 1 Nephi 46-8, it just shows that if we follow the spirit even if we dont know what is going to happen He will place the blessing in our hands. 

Thats just one of the many amazing experiences that my comp and I have had so far in the area. Its been so awesome working here in this ward because my comp and I are new and sometimes we have no idea what we should do. So thats when we just stop and say a prayer together and just let the Lord guide us after. I read a quote this week thats says...We should walk by faith, not by sight. I love that quote because that is life,the Lord wants us to learn to trust in Him 100% so we can recieve every single one of the blessings He has for us. James 1:5 is such amazing advice, if we truly dont know we just need to ask God. I know that God truly does answers our prayers and that He will always give us that answer that will bless our lives. Sometimes its not what we expect but thats when the walking by faith comes in play.  

I really love you all so much and I appreciate all the support you show me. I hope you all have an amazing week!

Love,

El Mirador

Hey Fam,

Well my time in Aeropuerto came to an end, I had changes yesterday. But something really awesome is that on Sunday President called us and told us that we jumped to number 1 ward in the whole mission. That was really so awesome to hear, we worked so hard last month!

On saturday three of the people we have been teaching got baptised. Ruben, Noemi, and Victor all got baptised and it was such an awesome service. During their baptism we sang as missionaries and there was such a strong spirit. It was a really awesome way to finish my time in that area, I really love the people there so much!

Well my new area is called Mirador and it is AWESOME! I am so pumped to be here, its literally a dream come true. I have always wanted to be in this area and I never thought it would actually happen. The best part of this area is that it is huge and full of hills. Also its super far away from everything so its pretty fun just to be isolated out here. My new comp is a really great guy, I am super pumed to be with him. Also in the ward there are two other companionships so its going to be fun working with them too.

I loved the conference talks last weekend, I love listening to sunch powerful testimonies of the Gopsel from such great people. One I really loved was finding Joy in Jesus cristo. That was really awesome to hear because it doesn't matter your circumstance you can always find joy in Christ. I love this Gospel so much and I have no doubt in my mind that God has a plan for every single one of us. 

I really hope you all in enjoy your week, thanks for being so great!! 

Love,
