AL righty.
Another week come and gone. It's insane. Quickest thing of
my life.
Oh yeah, I kind of forgot that we get to Skype home in 2
weeks, so I promise I'll get that figured out this week! Sorry familia!
Before anything, I'll tell you about my new companion (:
So her name is Sister Ellis. She's from a small town around
Nashville, Tennessee. I pull the famous, "Are you from Tennessee?
Because..." Line on her because it's hilarious and I think I'm funny. She
gets a good laugh. She's so cool. She just got baptized a little over a year
ago, and she immediately realized that it would be wise of her to serve a
mission, so here she is! She's the only member in her family, so I can't really
imagine how it must be for her, but her family is supportive of her being on a
mission, and i think it's awesome. It's super cool that she's out here on a
mission. She has such a strong testimony, and I admire and respect her so much
for taking that leap of faith and going on a mission. She's your typical
country girl, and just the sweetest thing. She has this cool little southern
accent, and it's funny. Cause she doesn't think she has one. Her birthday so
happens to be today! Good thing we're into the same stuff, cause we're going
shopping and getting Fro-yo. Like the good ol' days back home!
So this new area is certainly a whole new world. I feel like
I'm working with my friends. I'm on campus a ton , tracking and talking to
people, and I honestly feel like I'm a college student. People sometimes take
us to the cafeteria on campus and feed us. It's so weird. It's different
working English and with YSA students. A ton of them just finished High School
or their missions, and they sometimes forget that we're missionaries and only limited
to do some things. We do have a crazy amount of activities that occur several
times a week which is so cool and effective because our members bring their
friends to them all the time. It's like a little hang out but with a spiritual
twist. i love it. it's a blast. I love the ward here. They're so missionary
minded, and always going out with us as well as supporting us. The Lord sure
gave me a break because the people here are super receptive and willing to
listen and have lessons with us. It's nice having so many potentials around on
and not just having to pick out just a certain group to work with. The members
are always giving us referrals, which I love so much! I've never received so
many from members in my mission, which is awesome! It's like having a little
break in the work. We still give it our all, but it's like everything is just
being handed over to us, which is weird. I know I shouldn't get comfortable,
'cause I'll be in the Spanish work again in at least 2 transfers. I'm still
trying to figure out why I was transferred here. Same with Pres. But God knows
though!
Oh my gosh. So last week, we were getting a little tour of
campus from a LA, and I saw a HUGE herd of Latino students. I felt like I was
in missionary heaven. At least for Spanish speakers in this mission. THIS NEVER
HAPPENS. I'm going to make my way into their herd and baptize them all! Just you
watch! (;
I'm out of time, but we had some awesome miracles happen
this last week with so many people hungry to see if this church is true. I am
so excited to be here!
Hasta la próxima!
Love,
Sister Robles
