Dear Family and Friends,

 

Ok, so there is so much to say and not much time to say it, so here it goes:

 

First off, Hermana Newbill is being transferred, so I will no longer be in a trio. I've got to admit I'm kind of scared to be taking on more of the lessons, but I know that the Lord and Hermana Duong will help me. I'm really going to miss Hermana Newbill, she has helped me grow so much! Especially with the language.

 

This week we taught 24 lessons. This is our highest amount for the transfer. We are pooped!

We also decided that this week was a week of movies. We watched the Testaments with a few of our investigators and Finding Faith in Christ with a recent convert. We also were fed a lot this past week. We didn't have to make dinner once. We had shrimp, flautas, pork, rice, salmon, pasta, salad (this is a miracle people, just saying!), and soup. 

 

Right now we are focusing on getting people married obviously. This has been our focus for basically the whole transfer. This week we really got down to business. We asked people what their doubts were and taught them about the Family and the law of Chastity. It's been very trying, but we're starting to see more desire to repent.

 

The highlight of the week was probably setting a date with one of our investigators named Ema! She is very ready, she has a very strong testimony too! Every lesson with her just is better and better. We're also working on setting a date with one of our other investigators, Carmen who's sister is a member. We'll see how it goes. Other than that we may be dropping some people who aren't progressing because we just have too many people to go see.

 

Interesting story for this week, so we started teaching a woman who speaks Portuguese how to speak English through reading the Book of Mormon. It's quite interesting crossing two languages to teach one message.

Anyway I got to go, but I love you all! Have a wonderful time serving, studying and working.

 

Con Amor de Largo,

Hermana Mathis
