This week was fun as I got some letters from the family reunion (In September?) and the package from my family. Shout out to Cares LeBaron for making me a sweet keychain and also to Aunt Mary and Nanny and Krista for the letters. Probably than reading about Atomic Sit ups (if you don´t know what this is, you can ask someone from my mom´s family if you really want to know) was me trying to explain it to my companion in a mixture of sign language and Spanish and her not thinking it was funny. I guess the LeBaron sense of humor is a little different hahaha.
This week was the world day of service. All the missionaries in our zone went to a cemetary to sweep (since it never rains and we live in a desert, sweeping is the eternal chore) it was really pretty and I love service projects and it was a nice change of pace. Also this week we had transfers. Hermana Baez se fue a Arequipa and Hermana Diamond is going to be my companion. President Johnson moved a ton of people around and no one was expecting such drastic changes but President is super awesome and inspired by the Lord.
We have been working with a lady named Graciela. The other week she just showed up at church and we had a lesson with her and she came again this Sunday (and fasted) and is overall so golden. She has a baptismal date and I am super excited to keep learning from and working with her. The coolest part is that she has received so many little answers and promptings that have her prepared her. It is super awesome to know that God loves all of his children and wants all of them to return to live with him. And that Heavenly Father works through other people to touch our hearts sometimes. For this, we should always have charity and serve others. Because we might be the answer to someone´s prayers. I love you all and I hope you are having a happy holiday season.
