Hello there!
Well first off I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me and has been praying for me because I really do appreciate your prayers and I am greatful for the love that you have all shown me. Well I have been called again to be a trainer for a new missionary so I will meet my new companion on Wednesday this week. My streak of not having a companion for more than six weeks continues! ha Well this week went by fast but were still struggling a little to find new people to teach, so hopefully my new companion will bring something to my area that will help to liven up the area. Weve been working hard with those menos activos this week and we are starting to see more of them come to church which is good. Our recent converts are doing well too, and they are just so happy to have found the gospel in thier lives. On Tuesday we had an activity with my zone where we talked to the youth who are going on m...See More

Buenas dias!

Well this week was one of our more challenging weeks because weve been having a hard time finding people but one good thing that happened this week was that we were able to work with a lot of the less active members. This week we also had a multizone conference and as always I learned a lot and it went really well. President talked about the importance of moving forward with faith and being obedient. Also our recent convert Herbert received the Priesthood yesterday and this next Sunday he will receive a calling so that will be great for him. He is such a devoted member and I love seeing how willing he is to do what is right. One funny story that I have for you guys this is last Tuesday we went to visit one of our less actives whose husband isnt a member and we had our zone leaders with us. In the middle of the lesson the less active gave a loud gasp and her eyes got super big and then she looked at my zone leader and said "Ive had a vision...you are going to be the next president of the church!"My comp and I were laughing so hard and we tried to keep our laughter in because we didnt want to be disrespectful, but it was definitely one of the most funny things that Ive had happen in a while. My companion and I are working hard to find more people to teach and to help those less active members. Thanks for the examples that you have all been in my life and for helping me in everthing. Have a fantastic week.

Love,

Hey there another successful week in the mission has passed us by. This week we have been blessed to find new people to teach and we had the baptism of Herbert on Saturday. His baptism went really well and the ward really accepted him as part of the ward. Thanks to conference the ward is really starting to help us out and I think that we shall start seeing some great things in this area. Ive definitely seen the hand of the Lord this week and I am so greatful for his help and for all of your prayers and support.

Love,

Well hello there, weve had another successful week in the mission field and so far all is well. First off conference was fantastic and Im so happy that they talked a lot about helping out the missionaries and Im so greatful for all of the prayers  that were given for the missionaries. I am so greatful for President Monson and his apostles and all of the work that they are doing for the church. This week we actually had three of our investigators come to conference and they really enjoyed the messages that were shared. My comp and I didnt actually watch conference with our investigators because well we wanted to watch it in English and about 95% of my zone is gringos so we had a big gringo party and watched conference which was actually pretty fun. ha Well Hermana Alicia, who was baptized on my bday, is doing well and she told us that she has really felt a change in her life and that she doesnt fall asleep in church any more because now its actually interesting. haha This week we found visited Hermano Hector and his family and they said that they are excited to learn about the gospel and that they hope to be baptized someday so hopefully we can prepare them for that day and the whole family can be baptized. Hermano Gerbert is progressing really well, he went to conference, hes obeying all of the commandments, and yesterday he told us he would like to be baptized this weekend so now we are preparing for his baptism this week. Im really excited for his baptism because I know that he is ready and he is just a really great person. My comp and I are working hard like usual and weve definitely seen the blessings of all of the prayers everyone has said for the missionaries. I know that the Lords work is being hastened and that through faith in Jesus Christ we can all help to find his children and bring them unto him. Se que sin ninguna duda que este evangelio es el evangelio de Jesucristo y que con fe todo es posible. Estoy muy agradecida por la oportunidad servir mi mision aqui en El Salvador, y estoy agradecida por los personas les he conocido. Espero que sepan que este is la iglesia verdadera y es importante a recordar El Senor cada dia. Oren, y lean las escritures porque cuando hacen esto, sus vidas van a cambiar por lo bien. 

Con Amor,

Hermana Ontiveros
