Hey Family,
I have a note you can send to Hna Sobeyda if you can. Thanks!
Hna Sobeyda! Gracias por su mensaje! ¿Como está? Estoy bien. Todavia estoy en Masatepe. Que bueno que su mamá esté en Guatemala! Felicitaciones! Yo espero que la rama esté creciendo y que todas estén felices. Saludes a todos ahi! - Hna Tew
I´m quedaring in Masatepe still. I love this place. My goal is to have a lot more faith and follow the Spirit more. I have a lot of desire to be a good missionary, but it´s hard for me to see any fruits. I already have six months on the mission and there are lots of things that I lack. My new companion is Hna Zapeta. She´s from Guatemala. She´s really easy to get along with. I could tell the first day that she was kind of afraid of me, which is funny. She has 11 months on the mission. She told me it´s always hard for her to adapt to changes, and I was like, I understand that. I really like her. Hna DeHoyos was so bold and crazy it´s quite a change. Now, I´m kind of the bold one. Weird. But we learn something and teach something to every companion if we allow ourselves to. It´s funny. Companions are a definite blessing. Definitely. But, they also bring their complications. I´m grateful to have had my companions.
We are trying to work more with families where the husband is member but the wife isn´t or vice versa. Last week we contacted a reference. An ex-missionary and his wife, who is not a member. They aren't actually married. They told us they were going to church this Sunday, but Sunday morning they told us no. Anyway, you can read a little bit about that in the letter to President Monestel. But I can say that I am honestly trying to find out what I need to do to be better and teach better and contact better. This Sunday Hna DeHoyos visited the branch with her parents and I still needed to write in her baggy...sort of like a yearbook for the mission. I sat behind the piano and was just going to write during the meeting yeah I know that´s bad, but I felt like I needed to sit in the congregation and listen. One of the talks was definitely meant for my ears. Anielka talked about how we can repent and persevere and do things that are difficult. She said conversion takes time, stop doing the things that don´t help us progress, Many times the fruits of our labors are invisible. , Everyone can change, we are´t alone, everything is possible because of Christ. We can please the Lord - it isn´t easy - but we can do it. God has a purpose and we can fulfill it. We work with Him to complete it.
This morning we went with the Elders and Hna Campos to the laguna in Pochote. It´s in our area. It´s a beautiful lake. It´s a little hike, pretty steep, but beautiful. Pictures 6,7,8,9, and 10 are from this morning. In nine is Hna Zapeta. She played soccer before the mission and was really good. Picture one is from a birthday party. This family Perez Aleman is menos activo. Chepe, Ronaldo, Juana, Juana, Eddy, Rafael. Picture two is the Hermana DeHoyos when she was sick, before she went to the hospital. Yes. She is crazy. Picture 3 is me at choir practice with Hna Perez from the North mission. We knew each other in the CCM. picture 4 Hna DeHoyos got puzzles for Christmas. One P-day we went to Diriamba to eat pizza and we put the puzzle together while we were waiting. Pict 5 kind of wraps up the relationship between Hna Dehoyos and me. hahaha. She was great. But crazy.
I have a friendly suggestion. Maybe you all could write me after you get my emails. That way you can respond to what I write.
Dad the stake sounds great! I like your thoughts on how real growth is measured. Mom thanks for the letter and the updates on life, the house, Gillette, and all. How are you doing? Write me a letter in Spanish sometime.
Okay, Bye I LOVE YOU ALL A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT ALOT ALOT ALOT
Presidente Monestel,
Estoy agradecida de estar en Masatepe un cambio mas. Me siento que estoy fallando. Realmente, no tenemos investigadores que están progresando ni con fecha. Estoy tratando de ser mas osada, y estamos contactando muchas families. Estamos trabajando mas con families en que no todos son miembros.
Hoy leí en Nefi cuando el dijo que El Señor es un Señor de milagros todavia, y El me puede enseñar a constuir un barco. Mi meta es desarrollar la fe como lo hizo Nefi. Tenemos la meta como compañerismo de escuchar y confiar en el Espíritu mas. Esperamos poder tener mas exito esta semana. Yo quiero cumplir con la meta de encontrar dos nueva familias cada dia and poner una fecha con una familia. Todavia hay milagros.
Gracias por sus oraciones y su fe.
Hna Tew
