So this week we did divisions again. I went to the area next to ours with Hermana Herrera, who is also being trained. Her companion Hermana Bratt ends with me and went to my area with my companion. I was there for all of Tuesday and all of Wednesday, and it went really well. We found some great people.
A cool experience: We went to a house of a family that the Hermanas have been teaching, and they couldn't receive us so their neighbor who was with them came out to tell us that. So we asked if we could share something with her, and she said, "No thanks, I already have a church." And then we explained how our message is for everyone and that it is centered on Jesus Christ. And she just looked at us not interested...so we asked, "Can we just share a quick message with you and your family?" And she said, Okay why not. So we went in her house next door and her daughter was there with her. The lesson went really well and she totally accepted the challenge to be baptized and is super interested. Haha so that just shows us that we can't give up too easily!

On Thursday we had a Zone Conference with President Hayes and his family, and a couple who are in charge of the health of the missionaries in Central America. We learned a lot from President, about how we can progress more. He talked about how we are on a staircase to get to God, and we have to figure out where we are on the staircase and what is holding us back from taking the next step. Like they said in conference, "What do I lack to progress?" I really like that. It's really hard to accept what we are lacking and to change it, but I love that we CAN change, and progress always. His wife talked a lot about the little things that can help us have the spirit more, like eating right (the couple in charge of the health talked A TON about eating right) and having a clean house. We're gonna start having house inspections, but the fun part is that I have to inspect the houses of all the Hermanas. Haha
We were able to find a ton of new investigators again this week, I was just in awe at how much the Lord was helping us find people to teach. But now we need to focus on working with the members, so that we can help these people progress and get more references from the members. Go out with the missionaries people and help them out!
Today for Pday we went hiking :) so fun!
Well times up, but thank you all for everything! Love you all!!
