Week 19

Chau, Paysandú!

Hey Familia y Amigos!

So this week I arrived in my new area, Fray Bentos, and I met my new companion, Hermana Olson. She´s really great and she only has two more transfers left in the mission! We live in a house with another companionship of sisters, and we´re all North American! It´s super great because we all have a lot in common, so we get along really well and help each other get excited to work super hard!

It was sad to leave my first area, but I already love it here in my new area. There are loads of people to visit and the members are super loving and they help us out a lot in the work! I think it´s really funny because our chapel it tiny, but the attendance is higher than it was in my ward in Paysandú, and the chapel was way bigger there! There are rumors that they are going to add more to our chapel soon though, so that will be interesting!

So now I´ve finished my training and I´m teaching more than ever! I´m striving the best that I can to understand what the people are saying so that I can help them according to their needs.  A lot of people are going through hard times, but everything is a little easier with the gospel in your life! I love teaching with my new companion, I feel like we´re a lot more united and I feel a lot more comfortable talking to everyone. As I'm teaching I really feel love for these children of God, and I can tell that there are times when the Spirit truly touches their hearts.

The Bishop's wife is super great! The other day it rained a little, which means that everyone makes tortas fritas! Sister Zulma ran to our house with her twin that night to bring us some tortas, and it was a surprise, but it was so sweet! Also, sometimes there are some really sweet little kids that come up to us and ask for pass-along cards, and then they give us hugs! It's precious.

So that's about it for this week! The church is true! And God loves you all! The Lord is hastening His Work, and we all have a part in it! Keep going strong!

Love, Hermana Autery
