Hi everyone! Sorry I didn't write last week, it's been busy. I actually dont have much new to report. We have transfers tomorrow! My companion from Spain is going to go to another zone to go speak English in order to accommodate all the new missionaries coming in. They keep coming! The mission is pretty maxed out space wise. There are 7 missionaries in my ward and 5 of us sisters living in two bedrooms of this members house. They've bought more cars to keep as many of us air conditioned as possible haha, but I'm not one of those! Yep, they're taking my car tomorrow and I'm about to spend my summer in Mesa on a bike! :) But everything is only as fun as you make it right? So I'm telling myself that 115 degrees is the prime environment for a sick tan and that this bike is about to become a trusty steed. I actually splurged at Walmart to celebrate this, it cost me $4. Picture attached! :) Yep, not going to intimidate anyone with that on my handlebars.... so it'll be great. Our investigators, Sol and Vanessa are still on track to be baptized in August... they are so wonderful!
My invitation for this week: do you know how the people you are assigned to minister to are doing? Can you please check on them ASAP if you're not sure how to answer that question? We met the cutest member this last week and did some yardwork for her. We were asking her about the sacrament and she said she hadn't been able to reach anyone to bring it to her. We got in contact with her ministering member friends- they were so excited and happy to help her and she was so thrilled to he able to have the sacrament on Sunday. I can testify that ministering is a God given and orchestrated effort! Please find those you are assigned to love (and of course those you aren't assigned to too;) and give the Lord an opportunity to bless you to feel the great love He has for them. Its the feeling we are privileged to feel so often as missionaries, and it is wonderful! Please please please go out and find the one. There are so many people struggling in this time or are in need, (maybe for nothing more than company) but the Lord needs ready and willing servants to go out and find out how they can help. So many of you have been such great examples of service to me all my life. Thank you for all you've done and all you continue to do, especially all those unnoticed acts of small service and love. Please take some time this week to think about who you can love and bless. I can promise you as a special representative of Jesus Christ, if you will make a special effort to think about and then execute the promptings you receive this week about who and how to help, the Lord will bless you with an added measure of peace and light and faith to strengthen you and those you love in this time. I've seen him bless me in that way and it's a beautiful thing. Love you all lots, thank you for your prayers,
(If you dont hear from me next week, I died from heat haha;) .
