Transfers!!!! Guess who is not dying in East?! Yup, I am getting transfer trashed to Montebello in Central Las Vegas for my last transfer!!! I am so excited!!!!
As hard as my time has been in Ensign, I can honestly say I love this place. The members are amazing, I am so close to a lot of them. I now have two amazing recent converts here!!! Omar and Cesar! And so many more of my brothers and sisters that I love and have taught. I have learned that I am strong enough to do hard things, my testimony has been strengthened ten fold! I am grateful for my 4.5 months here. I wouldn't change my experience for anything. I've had a lot of trying moments, but I made it through, and that is what I am most grateful for! :)
We felt prompted to go and check on one my favorite families on Tuesday. When we knocked on the door, they looked depressed and sad. We were able to try to comfort and help them. This experience reminded me of one of my favorite scriptures in Mosiah 18:8-9, "And it came to pass that he said unto them:Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light; Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life". It has been a beautiful experience to comfort them everyday this week, and help them through this hard time. It's amazing how the Lord sends us to people right when they need us!!!!! We even used the street money we found this week to buy her a cheesecake, because it is her favorite dessert! :) Score!!!!
The other day while driving to an appointment I felt like someone was watching me. We had been waiting at a light for forever, and I looked over and made awkward eye contact with a guy in the car next to us. He started singing to me. I laughed, and thankfully the light changed and we drove away. Vegas man....
So on Friday I prayed for a recent convert who has been struggling to find a job. I prayed that she would be able to be given the opportunity to work. The next day when we stopped by she was super excited. She said as soon as we left she checked her phone, and she had received 2 job offers!!! Blessings! :)
"I brake for helotes"...My new bumper sticker. Too bad I've never seen a helote man in texas! :*(
We have gotten hot coco pretty much every day this week! Yay! :)
Cesar got baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was one of the most amazing days of my life! He was so ready and excited! Y'all! I know that the church is true. I have seen this man completely change his life. There is a light in his eyes that was not there before. It has been amazing to see him come unto Christ and leave behind his bad past! I wrote his story yesterday, we did it like an interview. So if y'all would like you can read it!!!! :)
I love y'all so much! I can't believe I'm going to see you in 5 short weeks!!!! It is going to be an amazing transfer! I have so much hope and faith that we will see tons of miracles!!!!!!! It's a good life!!!!!!
