| SNOW!!!! |
It dropped down to the 40's on Wednesday and Thursday since it was raining so we've been wearing our boots and coats haha, but Thursday night when Hermana Nalder and I came out of our lesson with our recent convert Elizabeth, it was snowing!! We were seriously so so excited, our member probably thought we were crazy cause we couldn't stop freaking out about it haha :) But that was seriously a tender mercy for me to see the snow. Heavenly Father knows me too well and knows that I've been missing the snow too much :)
And we also got transfer calls this morning! Hermana Nalder and I are staying! I'm so glad I'm finishing my training with Hermana Nalder, and that we still get to work together with the YSA! We seriously are working with the best people right now, I love it :)

| Us and Cassie (member) |
Yesterday we had Friend Sunday, which is where we had the members invite non-member friends to church! Whenever we do Friend Sunday, we try to keep the topics simple for classes & sacrament meeting, so yesterday the whole theme was about Christ and how to find Christ in Christmas. It was super good! The Spirit was so strong! We talked to a lot of people yesterday at church and they all said that they enjoyed church. So we are hoping that we see them again soon! :)
Also yesterday after church we had a dinner made by the bishopric, and before we got our food Brother Hernandez called us over and was like "hey these 2 guys want to talk to you!" So we talked to Marco and Maconi who we think go to the spanish branch since their records aren't in our ward, but we both recognized them cause they stop by in our sacrament meetings pretty often. They talked to us about their friend Indira who also came to church yesterday, but is a foreign exchange student from Colombia, and they want us to teach her! So yeah a lot of stuff happened at dinner with that, but long story short--we get to teach in Spanish! I'm super super excited about it! I can barely speak the language right now haha, but I know this is going to be good for both Hermana Nalder and I to practice our spanish :)
So our mission is BIG on doing ministering visits, which is when we bring members with us to our lessons. Church leaders have promised us that as we work with members in our missionary work, we will see more blessings and more progression with our investigators. Our mission has had a hard time seeing those blessings though recently, so our whole mission joined in a fast last sunday to claim the blessings promised to us of doing ministering visits. And ever since then we have seen some amazing miracles! A few days ago, we got a text from one of our members who is dating our investigator Ryan. We haven't had very many lessons with him because we usually just wait for the member to set up the lessons, but she texted us and said that he wants to take the lessons regularly! And we've already seen a few more little miracles yesterday with all of our members that brought friends to church.
It is so cool to see how God's work is moving along here in the YSA ward! I love serving here so much and it is amazing to see how this gospel is having an impact on peoples lives as we work with the members.
I love y'all so much & hope y'all have a wonderful week!
