Mi Reyna!! ;)
Hello family :)
So this past week was a bit of a mountain to climb, and harder week for us 4 sisters here. One of the sisters decided she was done, that she was ready to leave, and did not want to be here anymore. We all don't really know what happened, or what sparked something like that but she was like packed ready to go. On Tuesday night she was talking to my companion.. I was talking to her companion, so the four of us were in different rooms. After my companion told me that she said that she couldn't do it anymore, and that one day when we´re not looking she´ll be gone... so we went and locked the door that night and hid the keys.
I think seeing all that was really hard on my companion. I cant imagine being so new in the mission and hearing someone say that. So we talked for a long time about what she should do if she ever feels like that. But i think it was hard and scary for all of us. But thankfully she is still here. She went on Friday to have an interview with President to leave, but said that now she feels better so that´s good!
So this past week we were doing companionship inventory ( i think that´s what it´s called in English) it´s something that we do every week to make sure that we are okay as a companionship and everything. So this last week i started by just telling her how proud I was of her, and that i will always be soo prideful to be able to tell people that she was my "baby" in the mission. And that no matter what i knew that we were going to be friends forever. She then covered her face and just cried. for a good 5 minutes. i just sat there, hugging her. and then the she told me that i wasn't going to get transferred, that she isn't ready for me to leave, and that i have changed her life. I was then in tears too... haha (silly girls) but i realized after that really even though some days it seems like she hates me, that really she does love me, and it´s nice to know that you're appreciated ya know? :)
Funny story of the week... I was talking to this old man in the street, doing a normal LPE, sharing the gospel and all, and then we finished so i turned to start walking again. Little did i know that i was super close to the curb, and the gutters here are not just these little streams, they are big enough to be a river.. haha okay maybe not a river but like 2 feet deep...soooo I turned to start walking and feel right into this huge gutter/hole... and this old man just yells "MI REYNA" which means my queen, and runs over to get me out of this hole! hahah don't worry I didn't get hurt, just a bruised ego a bit.. haha but at least someone called me a queen right?hehe
Also Iby, our investigator is progressing sooo fast!! the only problem is that Satan is also working really hard, and things keep coming up that she cant get out of, and so she hasn't been able to come to church, but we have given her a tour of the building, she comes to all the activities, but just hasn't been able to make it to church, which makes it hard to baptize her, but we will just pray hard that this week she will be able to come :) Also we found this new investor, his name is R, and so we went over to visit him one day. We had a really nice lesson and focused almost all on the Book of Mormon, the spirit was strong and i knew he could feel it. So we challenged him to be baptized. He didn't accept, which happens a lot, so then we just bore our testimonies. He sat there for a second and then said, "what do i need to do to be baptized?" within 5 minutes his answer went from "i don't think i need to be baptized again." to "what do i need to do to be baptized?" The spirit is real.
Well my time is up. I love you all so much!! Have a wonderful week :)
Love,
Hermana Peters
