10-14-2013: Hellooooo!!!

Helloooooo!
 
Man, this week was a dooozy.  I had a bit of a cold on Thursday and Friday, but the work went forward regardless! :)  I felt heavenly assistance as we taught lessons even though I wasn't feeling my best.  Asi es.  And we had a Zone Training this week where we focused on taking members with us to lessons, or getting "exchanges."  So that's what we've been focusing on as a companionship and we're improving a ton on that!  We also had a surprise transfer this week.  President felt like Elder Guttierrez would have some more success in Stephenville so he left on Tuesday and Elder Wood's new companion is Elder Strang!  Hermana Hansen served with him in Arlington and he was in like all of her stories so I felt like I already knew him...haha but he's from Star Valley, Wyoming (isn't that where they're building the temple?)  and this is his 2nd time being in Hurst.  AND him and Elder Wood  AND Elder Atak are going home at the end of this transfer, so that will be a big change in our ward. 
 
AND Hermana Gomez's birthday is today!! She turned the big 2-0, so basically she can follow all the rules for "senior Sisters" in the white handbook :)
 
We taught O y M this week again and they are so sweet!  They are always super busy so it's been hard to teach them for the past little while, but we finally fixed a time where we could stop by this week and it was AWESOME.  When you read in Doctrine and Covenants about what is required for baptism, it's basically just a description of them.  They are so sweet and have so much faith.  We're hoping they'll be able to get baptized in the next few weeks. 
 
The work is progressing and I'm just loving every minute of being a missionary!  (especially since it's cooled down a ton in the past week.  It's raining right now, I'm pretty content.) :)

Way to go Nat!  He is a rockstar, as usual, on the football field...and say hello to Hattie and Kyle for me!  It's been forever since we've talked to them, send them my love :)
 
and I didn't know that matt and angela were having another baby!!!  Or maybe I did...Regardless, Congratulations to them! That's awesome! I'm sure she's a cutie.
 
Have I mentioned how much I love being a missionary?  Sometimes I realize that what we're doing is "hard," but we never think about it during the day to day work--we're just happy and loving what we do!  Seeing the joy that the gospel brings people makes everything worth it. 
 
Thanks for the Love and support.  I love you so much!
 
Love,
Hermana Sangre

P.S. congrats to Courtney!!! :)
