3/19/2018 - Hermana Fife!

This week was amazing I don't even know where to start, but we will start with Monday.

Monday night we went to visit Mercedez y Alexis so Hermana Carhuancho could say goodbye. We were teaching and then like all of a sudden Nelson and Andrea came and we were like hey do you want to share with us and they were like sure. Then like Claudia and pati came and then like Adri came and we were so confused because everyone was there and we were trying to teach and then Alexis kept leaving. But then they were like okay we can go inside. They took Hermana Carhuancho and closed her eyes and they had made a cake and a sign that is thanking her for helping them following Christ on his path. They had sandwiches and pizza and it was honestly so cute and sweet of them. It was so nice. 

So cambios were crazy. We had to wake up early at like 5 and Hermana Carhuancho and I grabbed all of her stuff and left for her area Yaguaron. When we got there we helped Hermana Barrios with her stuff and she needed to get a collectivo so we were waiting and waiting and it never came. So we called her a taxi. But we waited a really long time. Then I had to wait till I could go to the offices to pick up my trainee. I got to the offices an hour early, which is like I shouldn't have done that. But my taxi driver is a super good friend with Presidente Wilson and he didn't want me to be late. So I got to help the office workers with some stuff for the newbies. Then we had some meetings and I got to say goodbye to a one of my friends who finished her mission. But guess what Hermana Varga is training again. The Lord obviously wants her to train. But then we waiting to meet our new companions.

When the new missionaries walked in to the room I saw one of the Hermanas and knew that she was my companion. So we got put with our new companions and mine is Hermana Fife. She is from Las Vegas and she is tall and blonde and super pretty and super sweet. I am so stoked. She studied Spanish a little bit before her mission but not really. She is super nice and is ready to work! We got back home from the offices about 7 in the night so she unpacked a little but then we went to visit Mercedez y Alexis y Carlos. They were so sweet. The thing is Hermana Fife is the first sister missionary to train here in Paraguarí( in the area they are serving in ) for over 40 years. So all the members and everyone is really excited to meet her. Hermana Robinson couldn't wait to call us to meet her. She was so excited.

Wednesday we had meetings and Hermana Fife got to meet everyone in the Zone. It is kinda weird because we saw Hermana Carhuancho again. But it was nice to see her. 
But Hermana Fife is killing it. She is so ready to get out and work. She is also super funny. She is super pretty and everyone here loves her. Friday and Saturday we worked really hard and she has been doing so much better than I was in my training. She is like actually talking. When I was in my training I didn't talk like at all. I just sat in lessons and smiled. But no she is awesome. She is joking around with the members and trying her hardest. She is so great. I am super stoked for these cambios together.

Sunday was super awesome. It was kinda hard because one of our investigators, her son died in an accident and everyone here is related or knows each other so a lot of the members were affected and our investigator Gladys, it was her really good friend. But we got to visit with her and talk about the Atonement and that Christ is always with us to help us through our difficulties. She was really happy we could talk to her. She is so great. 

This week I learned a lot that it doesn't matter what we are going through that we can always rely on Christ. It has been a very humbling experience to be able to train Hermana Fife. She is trying so hard and doing her best. She has such a strong testimony and when she bears it you can see that it doesn't matter how good we speak a language because the language of the Spirit is universal and the people here really can feel the Spirit. I am so proud of her. We didn't have a lot of time to take pictures this week but we will do more next week. Because this church is true. Christ is there to help you through all of your trials and tribulations. If you don't believe me, get down on your knees and ask Him if He is there and He will answer. I promise. I love you all. Hope everyone is doing fantastic. Rohayhu!!

The little boy is Jonas. He is 2 and so darn cute.
The really tall Hermana is Hermana Robinsons trainer she finished her mission and is en casa now, the one in the yellow shirt is hermana varga.
MI HIJA!!!
