Letter #17


Hola Familia!
This past week has flown by and i can't beleive it is the middle of
September.  I had an interesting experience this week.  I went on an
exchange.  This last transfer we got a companionship of traveling
sisters so they travel around to all of the areas and two splits.  I
was excited but very nervous because someone was coming here and I was
going to have to know the area.  Thankfully she had already been to
the area and new mostly where the streets were.  It was interesting to
see her style.  It was much different than my current companions.  It
made me realize how just because people have different styles of
missionary work it doesn't mean one is a better missionary than the
other.  I am starting to find my style and the way I think about
missionary work.  It was a really cool experience.  It also made me
realize that I need to start paying attention more to the area because
I know my companion will be leaving me in a few weeks! :(  It's weire
because here they use street names where as I am just used to using
landmarks when I give directions.  I am learning how to use a map
quite well though!
Another cool thing that happened this week was that we had training
and president's interviews.  President Castro is just wonderful and I
love being able to talk to him about the work.  He is also very
encouraging and it was good to know that we have about the same amount
of experience in the mission field so we are learning together.
This week in the scriptures i have been reading towards the end of
alma all about the wars and the great captian Moroni.  I LOVE chapter
47 when Moroni raises the title of liberty!  It just gets your blood
pumping when he raises it and all of the people start running towards
him and are so ready and willing to enter into a covenant with the
Lord!  I hope you are all reading your scriptures every day.  They are
so powerful and SO true!
Well I love you all and I hope all is well in the family:)
Les Amo!
