Hello friends and family!!
This week was pretty great! Well, a really big highlight was that Sister Ryser learned how to make Torta Fritas and also churros! So, I have been pretty spoiled. But, an even bigger highlight was the friends that we met this week!
We met with one of our friends Pauline and she is the sweetest. She doesn't fail to cook us food whenever we go over. She has been meeting with missionaries for a long time. But, Sister Ryser and I really feel like she is making some very positive steps forward. She said that recently she has been really hungering for more knowledge. We read Mosiah 18 with her and she said she really wants to pray to know if baptism is the right step. She believes the Book of Mormon to be the word of God as well! So, if you get the chance, please pray for her to receive that answer!
Sister Ryser had an amazing idea to start a Book of Morning reading evening. So, we are getting that up and running! We are starting from chapter 1 in the Book of Mormon and reading and discussing it with members and friends that want to learn more. Some members are pretty excited as well as our friends! We hope that it will be a good finding tool as well.
Also, we got a new branch President this week! He looks like he is going to be really good! It was announced during fast and testimony week and the testimonies afterwards were really amazing. It just really made me think how church callings are so divine. It gives me chills just thinking that the callings we have are something the Lord knows we need to do to help build his church. A mission is a lot more special when I think that I never chose any of the areas I have been to. They were never even a thought in my mind. But, each area I go to just proves to me that they are exactly what I need. I have lived and love each and every one of them. It is so true that the Lord really is in the details of our lives. I look back on mine and i realize that He was there every step of the way.
I love you all so much and hope you have an amazing week!
