I am Feeling so Blessed!

Morgan has had some health issues as I have mentioned before so I had asked her to ask for a blessing. This was her response.

We did get blessings actually from the bishop. Like a week and a half ago. It is a tradition here that they do blessing the beginning of the year and so we wanted one. It was an amazing blessing. I understood EVERYTHING! He was so specific and the Spirit was so strong. A LOT OF THE BLESSING WAS ABOUT MY HEALTH! The bishop has no idea I have been having problems. It was an amazing experience. I have been blessed. SO MUCH. I will tell you about my new area in a bit, but yes I am so grateful. I am always seeing miracles. Every time I feel like I can’t do anymore I am carried. I know my Savior is right here with me.

This change is going to be SO HARD. So my new area is San Martin. We are like in the middle of nowhere. It is like 3 or 4 hours from everything. We have to wake up like at 4 in the morning if we have meetings. Like today we had district meeting and we had to wake up at 430. Yesterday we had a meeting with Elder Quintin L. Cook! IT WAS SO AMAZING. But the night before we had to have a sleepover with some other sisters that lived closer! Pues, con 8 otro hermanas! Hahaha anyways, ya this area is great though.

So the meeting with Elder Cook. It was so, so great. I got to see all my MTC friends!!! It was so fun! There were 3 missions there, central, east and south! What a great opportunity!

Transfers! I am so sad to leave my old area, but I know this new area is going to bring many miracles! My companion is Hermana Yepez. She is from Ecuador and is just so cute. She is TINY! Hahaha She runs everywhere which equals a nice speed walk for me cause she is so little. I am excited. I am already learning so much from her. She has 4 months in the misiĆ³n and is just incredible. I am feeling so blessed!! But yes I really am SO excited about this new area and the chance I have to learn and grow here! It is going to be exciting seeing as my companion doesn’t speak English at all, but it’s ok because I can understand her and it is just going to help me be able to speak better. The gift of tongues is real. I can’t understand all the words people say, but I know exactly what they are saying. It is such an incredible blessing!

Also this area is so cold!! LIKE SO COLD! We are up in the mountains and I can see my breath in the morning and it is just so cold. Thanks for the tights!

The baptism (before she left her first area) was amazing. No water in the church, of course, so we called in a truck to bring in the water! Hahaha SO FUNNY! But it was awesome!! We even had an investigator there who will get baptized this next week. We are going to have 3 men baptized this next week after I leave.

My Spanish is improving every day and I am feeling so blessed!!!

Oh I forgot to mention I gave my first sacrament meeting talk. hahaha Ya the bishop thought it would be fun to ask me to speak Saturday night at 9 pm because it would be my last Sunday! So I did it, and it actually went just fine I think!! The people all said they could understand me. I started out saying that since the spirit was the teacher I was going to speak in English because they would learn from the spirit both ways and everyone thought that was funny, so it was great!!

K gotta go!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
