Hello Family!!!
This week has been amazing!! So many great experiences I want to share with you all!!
In answer to your question mum, the dolls are so expensive!!! We
were told that they cost at least $500!!! So i don't think it would be
worth it to buy one haha!!
Thankyou for the letter I received from you too!! I did receive the
SD card and I will be sending my other one soon without forgetting to
put the return address on it!
tell abuela and tata thank-you as well for their package and
letters!!! And also say hi to M, C and L for me! I saw the
photos you sent of the dinner you had together! Also i'm sorry papi for
not sending my email to you to at the same time as mum's I just had
thought that mum would send it to you straight away when she received it
but i guess it would be easier to add your adress to it too. So today I
am!!! (dad was jealous that sister valdes only
sent me her emails and not answered his emails, but I have always
forwarded her emails to him as I received them)
This is a street they were tracting in last week
Some exciting news first! So this week we had interviews with President and Sister H and I can not tell you in words how much I love and appreciate both of them! Sister C was telling me before hand that in president's interviews they are a great time to ask any questions you have about anything and that his prayers he gives at the end of the interview is truly said like a blessing! To be honest, i was a little nervous to sit down with him but straight away those nerves went away and we had a really great conversation! I felt the spirit so strongly in the room and he gave me some great suggestions for me to work on to help me become a better missionary! His prayer/blessing for me at the end was truly amazing as well. My interview with Sister H. was great too! We just talked about my family and looked through my information that she has of me in her missionary data base. While i was talking about you all I mentioned that J was soon to recieve his mission call and what was exciting was that she told me that you could have the permission to call her to let her know when and where Jaysen got his call to on the day so that they could call straight away to give me the great news!! How awesome is that!!
The baptism we had last Tuesday was amazing as well!!! The person
who was baptised is the sweetest person ever and I am truly glad to have
met them and to have become really good freinds with them. The service
was nice and small and the spirit was literally in all of our hearts
that night!
Two zones together in a special meeting with one of the area presidency member and mission president
Now, I remember telling you that last Wednesday we were going to have a conference with Elder H. and his wife and wow was that an amazing conference!! Our zone was privileged enough to sing a musical item, the song"Come unto Christ" which is the new youth song for this year and it was so much fun to have sung it for them!! because we sounded so good haha he even asked us to sing it again at a fireside that he was going to be at that night so it was really special to have done that!!! I was also able to see Sister D YAY!!!!!!! When we saw each other we literally ran and gave each other a massive hug!!! She is doing well and I m so happy to hear that she is having a lot of success! If I heard right, just the other week they had a baptism in their ward too so miracles are truly happening every day!!! I also got to see Elder R which was good and he seems like he is having a great time as well!
reunion with best friend for the first time after 5 months of saying good bye at home .serving in the same mission
Reunion with a friend from the MTC
Well I better rap up but I love you all so much! Thankyou for all your support and love!
Con mucho amor,
Sister Valdes xx
Hi President H!
This week has been quite a good busy week for both Sister C and
I. We had set up some great goals at the start of the week that we were
fully prepared to do our best to achieve them, however with the things
that was planned for the week didn't quite allow us to reach up to our
mark. This didn't keep me down though, I guess the reason why is because
I have felt Heavenly Father with me all throughout the week encouraging
me to do my best and helping me feel that each day was a success even
though the numbers didn't show.
My best practice for teaching as Jesus taught during the week was
during the lesson we had with B. She is a Hindu lady from I and
she was our new investigator we found during tracting the week before.
We had set a date to visit her for last Wednesday and it was such a
miracle for us to have arrived at her house that day and that she was
home because she was a bit weary if she would be able to have us over
for sure. Nevertheless she was excited to see us and we taught her the
principle God is our loving heavenly father which went great. For B
most of the things we were sharing with her was quite new and I was
glad that I was paying attention to the spirit and teaching her in a way
that she could understand. Teaching the principle as if I was teaching
it to a little child is the way the spirit would have been able to be
felt by B and after our lesson the next miracle was that she wanted
us to come back to teach her again this week!
The Elder Haleck Conference we had last week I found to be amazing!
I was able to have a lot of the questions that I came with answered and
it was wonderful to have strongly felt the spirit with us. The best tip
or idea that I picked up was the ways we can help the members in our
ward to be more missionary focused. I know that for both Sister C
and I we definitely took away the idea you gave, president, about giving
the idea to the members of having their friends over for a BBQ or
family home evening that they could invite us over too and where we
could supply the 1kg bag of sausages to cook and eat! That same day we
actually visited with a family of ours in the ward and we suggested this
to the brother and he was really enthused about it and is currently
working out a time where they can invite a particular family that we
have been trying to meet with for a while. So we are super excited to
see how this goes!
Lots of love,
Sister Valdes
