Week 3 in Villas

My area right now is pretty urban. The streets though are horrible and are all cobblestone.  I fell the other day and I trip all the time! I have ripped holes in basically all of my shoes!!! haha  There are other sisters living in the same house as us and one is from Mexico, the other is from El Salvador.  They are assigned to a different area, but we are actually living in their area.  We travel by bus to reach our area everyday.  

     It's getting hard to remember English...if everyone is speaking English then I remember it like nothing...but, if its English and Spanish..then my immediate response is in Spanish.  Would I consider myself fluent?  No...not at this moment.  I still stumble on a lot of things...but I know a lot more.  I understand, and it's not something I worry about all the time like I used to.  But, I'm still learning new things literally everyday.  We had an investigator come to church with us this last Sunday.  Her name is Andrea and she is 15 years old, and is super sweet!  She really wants to become a memeber of the church.  The family she lives with are members, but they are less actives and since we have been visiting her they have been coming to church as well! oh yea!  

What do I want to share...Well, some things I have been learning a lot throughout these 7 months is that there is so much more that we can do, that we are capable of.  At first teaching in Spanish was my problem, it was difficult, because I didn't know the language.  Now, I can convey my thoughts...somewhat effectively hahaha.  But with that comes an even greater responsibility.  In the words of Spider man's uncle..."With great power comes great responsiblility" jaja.  I have had to learn to trust in the lord and follow his plans, and learn to teach as the Savior taught.  I have a long way to go to teach like the Savior, but, it's amazing what comes to your mind and in your heart, when you are teaching throught the Spirit of the Lord.  It's always exactly what the person needs.  It's a responsibility to teach these people the gospel of Jesus Christ and I feel so honored and loved by my Heavenly Father to have this responsibility.  I know that he loves us and all of his children, he wants everyone to know the truth.  We tend to turn to ourselves when we have problems, and try to think of something that might solve it, when really all we need to do is simply kneel in prayer to our heavenly father humbly and ask for guidance.  I know he will respond.  I have received direct answers to my prayers.  I know he lives, he loves us, and he restored his church on the earth.  I'm grateful to be a part of it and to share it to others.  

Con MUCHO AMOR!!!
