Dear family,
So this was an interesting
week, since I was outside of my area almost all the week. We went on divisions
with three sets of sisters. The idea is to have sisters working in both
areas during the division, but sometimes distance and travel makes that
unreasonable. So for two of the divisions, both Hna Fuentes and I worked in the
area of the other sisters. We are getting pro at traveling.
This morning Hna Trujillo's
comp is flying back to her country. She had some health problems and finally
she and president decided she should serve closer to her house for a time,
where she will have access to the same doctors who helped her before the
mission. So ever since yesterday when we dropped her off where she would spend
here last night in Honduras, I've been in a trio with Hna Fuentes and Hna
Trujillo. And we will be in a trio until the changes meeting Wednesday.
President already told Hna Fuentes and me that he has no intention of changing
us, and obviously Hna Trujillo needs to stay here to teach her area to a new
comp. So it looks like for the first time in my mission I will get to spend
three transfers in the same ward! (Albeit splitting the time between two areas
in that ward.)
Right now we are
working hard to have a miracle so that we can baptize Ricardo. Ricardo
has a lot of family and extended family that are members (some of whom are more
active than others, but his immediate family is becoming more active!). Ever
since the first lesson he accepted the invitation to be baptized and he has now
come to church for over a month without missing. But he needs to get married
first. And his future wife is from really far away and her hometown (home
pueblo) lost the paperwork that verifies that she exists and is single. The
process to reinitiate her paperwork is proving complicated and we will
need a miracle for it to be possible. With almost anyone else, we might
have given up already. But the sadness on Ricardo's face when we told him we
didn't know when he could get baptized has been enough to keep us trying and
praying as much as we can.
I love you all!
Have a great week!
Hermana Davis
