December 5, 2022 - getting schooled by a 3 year old

 Week 68

Last week I would say we spent a lot of time getting to know the members and this week we tried to clean out the area book. We made a lot of calls but what was cool was that it was worth it because out of all those calls we found someone who asked us straight up if she could have a book of mormón. She had been waiting to get one. So even though it's a lot of calls I am glad we are splitting our time in different finding methods because that would have been really sad if she would have just been another gray dot. 

Something else cool was that after CCM (capacitación cada miércoles) we went to a members house and got to share exactly what we talked about and what I've been studying about from the prophet this past week. We talked about the importance of being close to the temple and how it's such a blessing when they are built because it means more access to godly power. Our Heavenly Father "is also making it easier for each of us to become spiritually refined. I promise that increased time in the temple will bless your life in ways nothing else can." What a beautiful promise! And now our member friend is praying for someone to invite to a noche de hogar. I have high hopes for the area even thought we haven't found a ton of people who are progressing progressing, I can feel that they're out there. Haha this weekend I also got a cold, which means i have a stuffy nose and watery eyes, but hopefully it will pass today.

Other fun things: 

- we tried cascos de caballo 

- light the world started! Wuuub share tu luz! 

- someone taught us about "adam's first wife, lili"

- we had some really good flour tortillas made by flor 

-exchanges with hna quick which is when we shared about the temple with a member. 

- stake activities = I get to see a lot of members from my old areas! 

- a little primary kid taught us that Christ walked on water, visited the America's, multiplied the bread and fish, and multiplied the fish of his disciples in like 2 minutes! 

Mucho amor, 

Hermana Warburton
