"We may not have all the answers, but the Lord does, and He is willing to reveal them to us if we are willing to listen, be patient, and trust Him." Quentin L. Cook

This week is changes again!! i don’t even know how time goes by that fast!! My new companion is........ Hermana Hernandez!! yep!! i just keep repeating all of my companions, and i will be back with my mom  Almost a year ago to the day we were made companions for the first time, super sad to see sister Bonilla go,
We had 2 baptisms yesterday, and it was pretty stressful, cause the girl that was getting baptized showed up super duper late, without fail they’re always super stressful. But i know that we are able to help them make covenants with God, and that he prepares those who are ready!! She had such an awesome desire to be baptized.  We baptized Mel Paz, and Maria Caal, a mom of a less active, and she was like, i want to be baptized cause i want to change and stay changed and not be who i was before!! our other baptism- Mel got attacked by 2 dogs, and has huge holes in her leg from this dog biting her, and it was huge and swollen, and black and purple, but she said she wanted to do it, and that this wouldn’t stop her. Just shows how the lord prepares hearts!! awesome!!
I know this is His work!!! And we can do it in no other way than with his spirit!!! Believe that people who are being prepared to receive the message of the Restoration will be placed in your path. God will also place you where your good acts and words will prepare people to receive missionaries and Church members. In all your finding efforts, pray and look for opportunities to serve, help, and lift others. As you are serving, talk with everyone you meet. Have the faith that you can share the restored gospel. In every way you serve, you should do so because you love your brothers and sisters and therefore hope, pray, and earnestly desire to teach them the restored gospel.

When people choose not to investigate the restored gospel, your work is not wasted. Your consistent efforts in serving and teaching as many people as you can is one way God prepares His children to eventually receive His servants. He often reaches out to His children through you. Even when people do not accept the opportunity to learn the gospel, your service and words are evidence of God’s love for them and may plant seeds that future missionaries and members of the Church will harvest.


When people do not accept the gospel, do not be discouraged. You have raised a warning voice. You have given them a clear choice. Disciples of Christ feel sorrow when people choose not to repent, but they maintain a vision of who they are and what they are doing. They continue to diligently move forward. don't ever give up! --Preach My Gospel, Chapter 9
