More Exciting News! Trio.

Hey everybody! I hope you are all doing well. 

 

 

Elder Fajardo and I received a call from President this morning informing us that we will be training a new missionary together! He arrives tomorrow! He's coming to the mission early from the MTC because his spanish is "suficiente". He was born in Brazil but has lived in the states for a while. He speaks fluent Portuguese! Therefore Spanish will come along easily for him! They are very similar. We are super stoked!! We're going to have a blast together. It'll be quite the experience training two missionaries but the Lord qualifies us for His work. Besides, Elder Fajardo came to the mission pre-trained. He's THAT awesome.

 

 

We have had a great week! We saw the Lord's hand many times during our work. We have a baptism lined up for August 6th! We're really excited for it. We are hoping to set some more dates soon. 

 

 

Elder Fajardo and I are learning so much together. He's full of humility and is always striving to be better. Throughout the day he will ask, "how could I have contacted that person better?"or "what do we need to improve on?". He has helped me to understand the principle of continuous repentance and improvement. I have been so blessed to work in this part of the Lord's vineyard with him, along with all of the amazing members and other missionaries that we work with.

We found some more people this week that we are hoping to see again this week. One of them is a family of four that spoke to us as they were driving out of their complex. They told us that they recently visited Salt Lake and toured temple square! They loved it and wanted to learn more. Miracle!

 

 

I read this scripture this week and loved it. I think it applies to us all, especially those passing through confusing and difficult times. 

 

 

"Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation... For after much tribulation come the blessings". (D&C 58). 

 

 

We are on the Lord's timetable, not ours! We must trust Him in all things.

 

 

I love you all! Have a marvelous week.
