Hola Everybody!
This week has just flown by so incredibley fast and time on the mission is so weird but it´s great. This week I just hit my two months in the mission but it feels like I havn´t even been out for that long.
The first miracle this week was that I had my first baptism being out on the mission!! His name is Fransisco and him and his family were the very first house I went to on my first day getting to the mission field. His wife and daughter have been members for a few months and he finally made the decision to be baptized and they just have to wait to go to the temple! It is so amazing to see how the Gospel can change people´s lives!
My spanish is getting a lot better so that is another miracle. I have had to learn to have a lot of patience for myself and pray that other people will have patience with me and how slow I speak but I know it will come. I have already learned so much and I know I can learn more. I have been also trying really hard to read The Book of Mormon in Spanish and I know that doing it has helped me a lot.
I have such a wonderful ward (Cerro Moreno) and the members are so good about feeding us. I don´t do a whole lot of talking at our lunches so I eat pretty fast therefore they just keep offering me more food. So I guess I need to get better at Spanish so I don´t get fat.
The Lord is really blessing Hermana Logan and I with so many wonderful people to be able to teach. He has prepared them recieve this message of happiness and it is such an honor and privilege to help others come into the fold of Christ, be baptized, and recieve all the promised blessings of the gospel.
If you have any questions or just want to talk, please just shoot me an email and I would love to hear from you!
Love,
Hermana Pettijohn
