It's been a great week. I have a new companion, Hermana Villamar. She is from Peru. She is alot of fun and we get along great! I am very excited about this transfer. The past two transfers have been pretty hard because we have really struggled in finding people to teach. But now I can say that we have 6 people preparing for baptism on Dec 23rd. We are finally seeing the fruits of our labors over the last few months. It is so exciting! On date for baptism are : Roberta and her mom, they are Hatian. Melvin who is the son of a less active member. Then we have Fany and her daughter and son. On top of that we two more people who are potentials and two others we just met who came with us to a conference we had yesterday. I am so excited!! Also we met a Hatian couple the other day that we are going to walk to church on Sunday :)
I feel so blessed to be able to teach so many people.
On Wednesday we had new leader training meeting with the Mission President. It was amazing! We started by defining the word prophecy. In every calling we have we are called by prophecy. This means that before the world was even created we were called to the callings that we have. Most importantly we have been prepared in the life before this, and we are being prepared everyday in our lives until we receive the call on earth. So when we receive callings we can have the faith that we are ready for them.
As Christmas approaches let us all remember that we each have great worth. As leaders and members and children of god, everyone around us has the same potential that we do. Let's help them see it!
Love and miss you all! Can't wait to skype with you soon!
