Hola Familia!!
This week has been soo great!! My new companion is Hermana
Backstein! She is from good ol' Rexburg, Idaho! I love her soo much! Her Spanish is amazing and she is the sweetest girl I have ever met! I am super excited
for these next two changes together!!
This week was literally a week full of miracles. First off,
I traveled to Montevideo by myself and it all went super smoothly!! Based on my
past mission luck that was a huge miracle!! Then we had a youth activity,
something super low key! We just played soccer and at this activity our recent
convert's daughters, Ximena and Antonella came!! They have been attending
church for over three months but didn't want to get baptized! At the end of
this activity they both went up to their mom and said they wanted to get baptized.
We had a charla(lesson) with them and their dad yesterday and all of them are going to
be baptized on the 30th!! It was the craziest miracle!! Then at this activity we
had another girl come that we had never seen before. She was friends with a
member in the ward. Well while we were planning, the member called us and told
us that her friend wanted to have charla with us. So the next day we met with
her and she wants to get baptized!! She will be getting baptized on the
seventh!!
We also had Daniel's baptism this week!! It was so awesome!
His parents came and his best friend. Also, when he showed up he was in new
clothes! The young mens presidency found him new pants, a white shirt and tie
and new shoes! He would come to church in sweats with a beat up blue button up
shirt because he didn't have better. I wanted to cry when I saw him and what
made it even better is that he said he was a future elder!! It made me sooooo
beyond happy!!
I just love being in the service of my Savior!! All of the
miracles that we see every week just strengthen my testimony. I know that
Heavenly Father loves us and he knows what each and every one of us need. I
love being able to testify of the truth every moment of every day! I know that
I was meant to come on a mission at this time in Uruguay. I love you all and I
hope you have a fantastic week!!
Love,
Hermana Rich
