Well hello there family! This week my companion and I have been working hard as usual and I believe that we are making great progress. This week I learned the importance of really listening to the influence of the Holy Ghost to know the needs of our investigators. Right now we are teaching an 18 year old, Kevin and he knows that what we are teaching is true but he really wants to know for sure so we taught him about the power of the Holy Ghost and I think teaching about that really helped my testimony of the Holy Ghost to grow. We have been teaching a mother named Rubi and her kids and this week we finally got to meet her husband and teach them about the Family Proclomation. Oh something really great that happened this week was that we have been teaching a 15 year old named Joselyn and she has a great testimony of the Book of Mormon because she read the whole thing in one month. Crazy I know, but its true. The problem is her mother wont let her go to church because she belongs to another church. This week we had the opportunity to sit down with her mom and teach her about the restauration of the gospel. The spirit was so strong during the lesson and we actually found out that she took lessons from the missionaries when she was younger and she has read the book of mormon as well. We asked her to be baptized and she accepted so hopefully we can work hard with her to make that happen. We are working with other investigators as well and were hoping to make more progress with them this week. Well guess what..Presidente Hintze called my companion and I Friday night to let us know that we are going to be trainers. We went to a meeting for all of the trainers on Saturday and he told me good luck hermana, I know you will do great. When I first started the "12 Semanas" program they said that sometimes once you finish your twelve week you will have to opportunity to train another person so prepare, but that rarely happens. Well I dont have much time in the mission, but apparently the Lord believes that I can train a new missionary and that I wont mess her up to bad. ha I dont know what area I will be training in or who I will be training until Wednesday when we have cambios, but pray for my new companion that she can have patience with me and that I can teaching something good. Well thats my week for you, thanks for everything!
Love,
Hermana Ontiveros
