I Got the Package!

It is transfer week....I'm staying in Bella Vista

I GOT THE PACKAGE. THE CALENDAR IS SO TENDER!! I have had a cold all week and so I was just dying,, And then when I got the package, and looked through the calendar it just made me so happy!! Thank you for the personal letter, Beanie Baby Roman, My comp laughs at me because sometimes when we´re doing comp study, i just hold it and she thinks its so funny.  Babelash, earrings, drink packets,  and other goodies.

I'm not sure how Skyping on Mother's Day will go down because I might not be in Bella Vista anymore. I'm one of the Hermanas with the most time in the mission so I might be sister training leader soon.  I'm still with Hna Balderee. We have a lot of fun together and work to help each other in different ways.  It's been good. 

This week was great! We decided to find a lot because a lot of our investigators have issues with their families protesting them investigating, or their parents won't allow baptism, and some just aren't progressing. 

José has been to church 5 times now, and he wants to get baptized so badly buut his wife is very against it (being catholic) and won't allow it. José wants to come to church and be baptized, he just has to This week we taught Norma a couple of times.. shes the one who had dropped us a couple weeks ago, but we started visiting again. And she always says that she wont come to church... and then guess who showed up this sunday? NORMA! we were so stoked.. and i think she liked sacrament bc she started tearing up. i noticed because i lead the music... oh yeah... thats something else i forgot to tell you. Im the music director in the branch. What are the odds? Out of all people, i have to do it. And sometimes i get mixed up and i do an awful job. I never want that calling haha. 

RIGHT:  The little boy is Renaldo.. he got baptized last Saturday. we eat with their family every Friday. They live in a super humble house, and there are children and chickens constantly running around. 

As far as Alfredo... hes still in Resistencia, and we heard from him.  He sent a message to our branch president and said he can't wait to see the branch again.  He could be returning home April 20th.  I really don't doubt his testimony. He said he knew without a doubt that he knows the BOM is true. He is a man who very much "fears God" and wants to fulfill all the commandments.

I found this huge caterpillar! 

We  finally found Silvina this week. (Alfredos sister) after 3 weeks of not finding her. We had a really upfront discussion because a month ago she was progressing and loved it.  She said she felt like this was the path God wanted her to take. But she is not coming to church.  She is a single mom with financial struggles and a hard schedule.  Wetestified that God will open a door, so that she can come to church on Sunday mornings, and have the money to get by. I"ve prayed for her so much this week. 

We´ve noticed God´s hand guiding us this week. Especially one night when we were lead to a lady named Patricia, from our area book. We talked and afterward she told us that she just felt so alleviated, and that God is trying to speak to her through us. 

Anyway, I've had a good week... happy to stay in Bella Vista... we set some goals yesterday for the transfer. 
Thanks for your prayers and for always sending your 
love it means the world! Can't wait to get a Coke Zero and hang out with you again! haha ... Nika told me that McDonalds doesn't sell CZ anymore? What has the world come to?
