Happy
2017 Everyone! I hope this year brings so many wonderful blessings to you
all!
January
is going to be a great month in the mission! As a mission we are working to
baptize 300 souls this month. We have been working on this goal for a
while, but this week we had a meeting with President Corbitt and set specific
goals for each of our areas in order to accomplish what we need to. The
Lord really has prepared people to accept this Gospel!
In
Yamasa we have been planting a lot of seeds and we are seeing people that are
prepared. We contact a lot, ask for references from everyone, and we find
people to teach! The mission really is an awesome and amazing experience!
We
finally had another lesson with Familia Garcia. It has been a little difficult
to have a lesson with the dad because we cannot go there at night right now,
but we received special permission to go because they are not coming to
church. We have discovered part of the problem and will continue to work
with him to work through his doubts. I know that the Lord loves each and
every one of his children and that we are all here to help His children along
the way, but most importantly that our Savior Jesus Christ and our Heavenly
Father are here to help us along the way. We just need to ask for the
help and we will be amazed at the strength we receive.
What
a blessing a new year is, to start over, to reflect on our lives and
think about where we want to be, what we want to accomplish over this next
year.
As
for the pictures this week they are of food, because well, the holidays bring
food. Here New Years Eve is a big deal and they have a huge dinner as
well! We got a call new Years Eve night at 8:30 for an
invitation to a members house. We called our leaders to receive
permission but they said it was too late to go out. So the members
brought us the food, which was so kind! And as always in the Dominican
Republic they gave us soooo much food! Haha we got a kick out of it, but
it was so nice and yummy. For celebrating the New year we had some glow
sticks so that was our little party at 9:30 at night! Happy new
Year!
Well
I hope you all have a wonderful week and New Year! Be happy and
optimistic. The Lord loves you and is always there for you. I know
the Lord answers prayers and gives us strength. This gospel is amazing
and I know it is true!
Love
you all,
Hermana
