Week 43- What Just Happened?!?

Hello everyone!

So this was thee craziest/weirdedst week of my mission.

Literally one hour after i wrote you all last week, the assistants called us. They told us that we would be having emergency changes!!! They told hermana chatwin that she would be leaving the next day to Concepcion, an area thats about a half hour from here in Cartago. We were in a store when they called so i didnt hear what they said, but i could tell what they told her. When she hung up the phone, i was just like, ¨No hermana! I dont want to know!!!¨ But sadly she was getting changed :( and i was told that i would be training!! But they didnt know if my future comp would be coming in one week, or three weeks. Haha so it was a little confusing. so the next day hna chatwin left for her area and one of the hermanas in that area, Hna Canales from honduras, came with me, because they are in a trio there. We didnt know how long we would be together, but we figured it would be for just a week. So then even more craziness happened, because the next day (Wednesday) hna canales´ zone was going to the temple! So i got to go again!!! And hna chatwin got to go too, because thats her new zone. And then on thursday, their zone had a multizone conference with president. So we had to go to that too. So me and hna chatwin were really glad we still got to see each other lots haha but it was sad not being in my area!! But it was still a good week and we still got a lot done. But i was feeling an extreme amount of stress just because of the change and not exactly knowing what was going on. So i really just had to trust in the Lord. I have felt my relationship and testimony of the Savior grow so much and im so grateful for that. It is a lot more personal now, and although ive always known He exists and is there, I really know even more now and feel his presence a lot more in my life. I know that He is there. So im very grateful for that.

So today we went to the office early and i picked up mi hija! And saw hna chatwin again haha, because she was there to pick up hna canales. My new comp is Hermana Castro, and she is actually from costa rica! :) And i love her already. Shes way sweet. Im excited! Im way excited to train again because i know that i am going to learn so much.

So we have been working a lot with an hermana named Yesenia. A few weeks ago a member from another ward in our stake called us, and gave us her name as a reference! She said that her husband had just left her, and she felt like she was really ready to accept the gospel. So we went! And she is awesome. She has accepted everything and she and her two kids went to conference last week! But they went with the member in the other ward who gave them as a reference. One of her sons, Jason, was there the first time we went over but we didnt think much of him because he didnt seem interested. But we found out that he had come all the way from San Jose just to hear us, and he watched the conference online and has been reading the book of mormon!! And him and yesenia came to church yesterday :) they really liked it. And we had a family home evening with some members who live by them last night and it went really well. Im so excited for them! I just know that her and all of her kids will be baptized. Yesenia is the only one who has been to church twice, and her three kids only once. So we might wait until the first week of may so that they can all get baptized together. but we´ll see what happens!

Weve also been working with a mom, Lorena and her two kids. Theyve all been to church twice! And they want to be baptized, but her husband is not very supportive about it. We just hope that they can be brave enough to take this step despite what he might say.
Well i am super excited to work this week. Cartago is full of miracles and i am so excited to see even more. I will definitely need to trust in the Lord even more, because when i start thinking about all that we need to do i get a little overwhelmed. But i know that if we are being obedient and doing all that we can, the Lord will take charge and help us complete with his will.

Well i love you all! Always be grateful for what you have! Have a great week :) 

At the temple a second time!
