There
are just so many things to say, I have no idea where to start. First
of all could not be more thrilled to be back in the Harrisonburg, with
my Hermana Rosen. Just too good to be true. Cried sitting on the pew
by myself in transfer meeting (because she had to stay up here). Mostly
just too too good.
So I guess first things
first, I got to see my cute Darlene and Yuleli! They are just cute as
ever and just ecstatic to see me, which is always fun. They have been
doing great, when they got baptized their dad was reactivated, but there
mom was a different story. She started warming up to us, but told us
that she promised God she would never go back to church, not even go in
the building, besides for her girls baptism. But a month ago Darlene
went to the temple for the first time to do baptisms with the ward, so
the whole family went along to go into the visitors center, and even
their mom went! Then the next Sunday she came to church. MIRACLE. She
didn't come for a few weeks, but she came yesterday, and we shared a
hug and a cry right there in the middle of the chapel. That is gong to
be an eternal family, and I couldn't be more thrilled. It has taken
them a while, but how blessed am I to be able to be here again with them
to help them get to the temple. God is just too good to me.
I
got to see my cute Flor (favorite member whose childbirth I witnessed)
and she has been having a rough past year. I was devastated because
they moved earlier in the year to Texas and some sketchy things where
happening, and they had to some back to Harrisonburg because her husband
had to go to jail here for a few months. So that was really sad. But
she was also so happy to see me and we had an awesome lesson with her,
and she just gets it. She has not lost her testimony through all of the
hardest times. And the kids are as cute as ever, and Genesis is huge!
Just darling. She is just so fuerte and such a good example.
The
branch is doing great, it is growing, and they even meet in the Chapel
now. They are just so cute. I am just so excited to be back and
actually speak Spanish now, and I know that there are a ton of reasons
why I am here.
As for being a Sister training
leader, it seems pretty much the same! We are over 4 sets of sisters
who we do exchanges with each 1 time a transfer. So not too much
English work! Hurray! But we are here to help them be better, set
visions for them and their areas, and mostly just love them. We have
another set of hermanas in the ward, my bff from the CCM, Hermana
Wilkins, so that is fun. I don't really know the other sisters, so I am
excited. Mostly we just are supposed to be good examples and love
them, and teach them! This week we have a training meeting in Richmond
so I will get more of an idea.
As for
being with Hermana Rosen it has been amazing. The first night we got
together we talked forever and we are both just at the best time in our
missions to do work and to have faith. We are teaching a lady named
Maria and her two cute daughters Keyla and Ester. Last week, when I got
here, they where not feeling sure about getting baptized, saying they
were going to go back to the Catholic church etc...but that first night
Hermana Rosen and I talked about having faith in God that he can work
through he and just making him our best friend through prayer...and then
we just worked like crazy. They all had their little hold ups, but
after much fasting and prayer and talking, they all knew it was they
needed to and wanted to do. We saw them last night after church and
they all three committed to be baptized on September 26th.
It was a miracle. I just saw God working so hard, and us trying
everything we could, and it worked. Faith is real. He listens to us.
He loves us, and he is just good.
I am so so
so happy to be here, there is just so much goodness. We have been doing
a lot of contacting and talking to people, but we are not wasting time,
the people who are ready are the ones we are teaching. I know that
Heavenly Father loves us very much, he cares about us individually. My
Heavenly Father is my best friend, and I know I can trust him with my
life, and I know that when I have faith in the Savior, everything will
turn out just fine. I love love love you all so much! Have the best
week!
Besitos, Hermana Myer
