<--------------- This is my mailing address. I love letters!!
Hola Familia y mis Amigos!!
Como estan? Can I
just say that I love everyone here in SLC? I feel like I am not far away from
you all because I see members of my ward here that remind me so much of my family.
Yesterday, I saw a little latino girl and she looked JUST like Lydia. It caught
me completely by surprise and I couldn't help but smile whenever I looked at
her. I love my family so much!
Ok, so I wrote a
letter today and I will put it the mail so you should get it by Thursday or
Friday. I answered a lot of your questions about the mission and my companion
in it:) Thank you for the package!!!! I loved it! Thank you Stevenson family for bringing to me, you guys are awesome! The sugar cookies were
absolutely amazing and the blanket was definitely needed.....Thanks Grandma I
sent a letter to you also. Thank you for all the letters, I love reading them and
I am gonna tape all my letters in a journal (That is what I bought at Walmart
by the way, and then I had to take 20 dollars out as well for laundry, we have
to go to a laundry-mat :P) I love everyone's letters :) Thank you!
So I found out
that I can print off emails so if you could send Hermana Childs' blog posts in
an email, then I can print them off and read them later!
So this week, we
have seen many miracles happen! It was awesome, well, first of all, Jacquleine and
Ernesto were baptized!!!! YAY!!! We took them to Temple Square last Tuesday
before their baptism and they committed to prepare to go through the temple in
one year. I hope they do that! That way I can go through with them because I
will still be here.
Second, we found a
family from Colombia that Hermana Merrill has been trying to find for a month.
The member who referred them didn't know their address and so one day, we were
biking somewhere and as missionaries, we have a goal of talking to at least 10
people everyday on the street. As we were talking to the 10th person, Hermana
looked at the house we were standing in front of and saw a family walk into
the house.....and guess who is was? The Colombian Family!!! She was so excited
and we were amazed at how the Lord guides us without us even realizing it! We
found out also that the member had put the family's name on the temple prayer
role that day and that we would be able to find the family. AMAZING!!!!
Another miracle
happened this week....but for a family in our ward. Were teaching a less active family and the wife told us that she needed some extra help her with her business. We
told her we would keep an eye out for anyone who was looking for a job. Later
that day, we were trying to contact some new investigators and they weren't
home. We decided to stop and talk to a member family and ask them why they
didn't go to church that day. We talked to them and shared a message with them
and I could tell that something was wrong, we asked how everything was and we
found out that the husband had just lost his job and he was really worried.
They are a young couple and have two young children. We instantly thought of
the lady from earlier that day and we called her up and had him talk to her. He
got off the phone with tears in his eyes, saying that everyone was great. I was
SO happy to be involved in that miracle. God knows his children, and he uses us
as instruments to meet the needs of those we come in contact with :) I love
being a missionary!
I am so glad that
everyone is doing great! Jess? Is everything getting together for the
wedding? ONE MONTH!!!! When we went to temple square, I looked at the temple
and had a bitter-sweet feeling. I knew that you were gonna get married in this
temple and I am so excited for you, but I also knew that all of my family would
be standing where I was standing and I wouldn't get to be here with you all.
Pray for me for that weekend..........even though I will be busy, it will still
be really hard. We are trying to put some people on date for baptism for April
12.
I am doing good.
My feet are fine and I am always fed :) My cold is gone and I feel really good.
It is still hard to wake up in the morning, but I am sure I will get used to it sometime soon hahah
So it snowed this
morning......WEIRD! Would you be able to send me some piano music? I think I
can still play Frozen so copy the music and send it to me if you could! Thanks!
Also, I would love some ideas for lunches......I need to eat some different
stuff. I feel like I eat the same food every day :)
I love this work
and I can feel my testimony growing and the language is coming better and
better. I am not as scared to talk to people anymore and I pray every day to be
bold and powerful. I want to be like the missionaries in the BoM!
I love you all!
Keep having FHE and reading the scriptures! When I wake up, I always think
that my family is up with me, reading with me :) We went to a FHE last night
with our investigators, there were 42 people in a tiny trailor. It was great!
I love you and
miss you! Write to me if you can, letters are the best!
SLY!
Hermana Warren
