Hola!!!
I got to see my MC comp at a training and we were comps in the practice. Hermana Pister. I love her so much and it is so nice to see a familiar face. These companionships are definitely inspired by God. Hermana Moore and Pister have helped prepare me for all of things I have faced here.

COCKROACHES SUCK. I lifted up the blender and there were 6!!
6!!!!! I almost died. So my instinct was to grab a knife and stab them. I got
3!!! But I seriously hate them so much. that and ormigas aka ants. In my Peanut
Butter.... :(
This week I have learned a lot of things but most of all, I have
learned how essential love is in all things. Everybody has faults and no one is
perfect. We cannot expect others to change and the only thing we can do is
change ourselves. Love is taking the time to understand their viewpoint and accepting
them for who they are. I have really learned that when we pray to love those
around us, the Lord will do exactly just that and the little things don{t
matter as much. They may still annoy us but we can put them behind us. love is
essential in this work and in life. It really is what motivates us and keeps us
going.
So we taught this family with only little boys and the middle
child kept putting his stuffed animals on my lap. Then I said the prayer and my
comp had the rest of the stuffed animals on her lap. After we got home that
night, I opened my bag and found a little stuffed animal bee in my backpack. It
made my day :)
We had a baptism!! Hermana Toribia. She is this cute little old
lady and she has such a strong faith in Christ. She just got her arm taken out
of a cast so her bones are really sensitive to the cold so we went and bought a
water heater... but now we use it for us. I love it so much. Anyways back to
Hermana Toribia, she is so adorable. She always tells Hermana Pineda to take
care of her gringita. :) aka me. After her baptism, we went to house and she
just told how grateful she is that we taught her. It was definitely a special
moment. Then when she received the Holy Ghost the next day, she just started
crying on the stand and told the Bishop that she felt a warmth in her chest. I
know this warmth is the Holy Ghost and only these feelings of joy and comfort
and truth can be felt by the Holy Ghost. I know that the Holy Ghost is real and
it truly does testify of the truth to all of us.
We are also teaching a young man named Enrique. he is hilarious
and he writes songs. He has 125 so far! He is amazing. We taught him the Plan
of Salvation and it was amazing to see how much the Spirit guided the lesson.
The Lord really does have a plan for each of us here. For
Enrique, for me and for you. He knows us and He knows what is best. We just
need to trust in Him always.
Oh by the way.... Elder Cory in my district is from Spokane!
woohoo. Go Spokane. Everyone here thinks I am from Washington DC. It rains
everyday at 3 pm... a lot. I love it though.
That is about my week. Continue to learn always and study the
scriptures every day! the Lord has given them to us for a reason. Always seek
for His Guidance in all things His comfort as well. there is nothing else like
it.
I love you all!
Hermana Webster
