My last time with her, she's my best friend and I love her so much :(

 

I've been out for 4 months now!! Yay

Hello everyone,

Well I've been out for 4 months now!! Yay! It's been awesome so far I love the mission so much and I love my Heavenly Father. This week was crazy and we walked a lot, I’m really tired from walking, I have blisters on my feet, it hurts but got to keep going and a lot of souls to save. With the lord nothing is impossible. This week as a district we learned the importance of our purpose here in the mission and it’s to Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.( yeah I memorized it).This helps me every day to help those out there like it says in 3 Nephi 5:13  “Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God(daughter), I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life”. That is my purpose here to declare to everyone his words to help them have everlasting life!!!! It was awesome and I know that Heavenly Father is there. A cool experience this week was that  we were teaching a recent convert about blessings, she had just gotten accepted into BYU and she literally was so happy about it, but then she started thinking where am I going to live?! We told her to have faith in Jesus Christ and during that lesson we talked about the importance of receiving blessings, tithing and like it says in Malachi 3:10:  “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it”. We read her that and she was still doubting if to still go to BYU and we had left from her house, and hours later she called us and told us that she had just received a pioneer scholarship of 10,000 and she was just happy and thanked us for everything and I told her it's not us, it's the lord we told her SEEE he's there you just have to have faith in him. It was a great experience and I know that Heavenly Father can help us in anyway. We just have to trust him and have faith in him, we may not know when he will pour out many blessings to us but we have to be patient in his timing. I love this gospel and I'm so happy to be here it's almost my birthday!!!  August 9th :) I hope everyone is doing great. I miss y’all and take care.
Love,
Hermana Escalante.

We have three new investigators!!

Hello friends,

Sorry I didn't email y'all. So this week was pretty good, we had 16 lessons and it feels so good. Our district leaders were very proud of us.  We have three new investigators, Pedro, Maria, and Cesar. Pedro and Maria are married and we actually met her husband first and we showed him a video of because of him and he liked it. So we went back a per day and we met his wife Maria, hey are catholic, but Maria explained she really did want to go back to the Catholic Church because she didn't feel like it was true. She has been reading the bible and doesn't feel like the Virgin Marie is something they should praise and she surprised us. Also our plan was to show them another video but then she said, I do t understands why we so many churches and I just felt like " you should teach her the restoration" so we took out the pamphlets and we taught them and they were really amazed of how much we know about the gospel and it's just great that they were really listening and my companion was pretty upset because she didn't understand and them and I was like the main one talking. She said I was a really good teacher mad it made me feel good. But oh gosh we felt the spirit so hard and we invited them to read and to pray about the things we taught them and they were just great. Our other investigator is Cesar, we found him one day watering his grass and he was really nice and we asked if we could come back and share more about Jesus Christ. So we went again and we  got to know him and we actually showed him a video and he loved it was about Jesus Christ and he said to show him more videos, he loves to hear about God, he hasn't been to his church in a long time and he just loves to hear about it. Well I hope everyone is doing great. I know that as we read the scriptures we will feel closer and really know the plan Heavenly Father has for each one of us. I learned that you have to let the Holy Spirit be the teacher. Elders in Rama Liahona keep working hard. I don’t know most of you but good job; I want to hear good things about the Rama and more baptisms. :) Take care friends and email me. I'm trying my best to send letters to some of you but I'm still working on that. I'm broke so sorry. We’ll have a great week.

Hello friends!!!! Well this week was very long. Since I got my new companion I had to show her our area and it was just tiring. She is very nice and cooI, and I love her. She has been in the mission a year and she is sad she almost goes home, so this week we did service we went to a food place and we helped people get food and it was just really nice. Also this week we found a lot of people and we have a baptismal date. I'm not sure I told yall about her, well she is from Argentina (Cintia) and she is just awesome we taught her the restoration and we invited her to be baptized and she said YES! Haha them she was like wait, does that mean I have to stop smoking??? and I thought in my head nooo she smokes?!! Haha we told her to stop smoking and she said she will try but yeah she does want to quit. She has a rough life but she is very thankful that she found us. Her date is July 5th let's hope everything goes well.  I'm so glad we found her she is just great. Also we had a fiesta on Saturday and it was awesome. It was like a cowboy theme for dia de Los Padres. We danced Haha, also on Sunday we had 2 investigators!!!!! That’s a record!!!! Haha it was great.

Her new companion Sister Luau.

 



New companion her name is Hermana Luau!

Hello friends!
So this week was crazy!!!! I have a new companion her name is Hermana Luau she is from Samoa. She is great,  and now I'm taking over my area and I'm nervous but I know my heavenly father is going to help me! My companion left to another area "el Molino" so that means I'm done with training!! I'm going to miss my companion (Hermana Bateman she was great). I can't believe I’m in charge now, when I heard that I was getting a new companion I'm like I don’t know this area a whole lot but I have confidence that everything is going to be alright but This week we didn't have as much success or we didn’t find a whole lot of people because school is over so people are going out of town and it's hard to find people. And it's getting really hot here. But we found some people and we worked more with. This week went by pretty fast, and I don't remember what we did hah but we took a district picture and had district meeting and we really focused on helping people keeping commitments. We want them to feel the love of God in their lives so if we don't remind them to read, pray and do those things that is going to help them progress they are never going to have a change of Heart. So we are trying to be better and helping them have this repenting process in their lives. I know that as people start seeing that by keeping these simple things like having faith in Jesus Christ, repenting, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. I'm trying to do this to help also members realize that after baptism is doesn't mean that you’re good; you still have to endure to the end. Well also this week we found a black widow spider, there are lots of black widows here and I'm afraid Ahhh. But I'm good. Lol my plan this week is to work hard and have confidence that I will do well. Hopefully my companion likes to work I have heard bad things about her but I'm going to be strong. I love this gospel We actually had an investigator on Sunday at church and she is from Argentina, she sat next to me and she told me why are those people going up there and saying good things and I explained they are bearing their testimonies, they say things that has helped them grow and good things that come from their heart. She told me I want to share my testimony! Haha I'm like WHAT?' ..... Sure she said but if you come with me?!  I'm like sure I don't mind. So we went up there and she bore her testimony or saying how god has blessed her and she was just great, she cried and was thankful she found us. We will for sure give her a baptismal date this week. Well I hope everyone is great with yall. Keep working hard, missionary work is not easy, with the member’s help the work will grow more. I'm so grateful for serving a mission and looking at people trying to be better. I want to work hard and bring many souls to him.  I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I love this gospel with all my heart. Pray always friends, prayer is so important, it's a way you can feel Heavenly Fathers love and you can feel him in your life.  I know this because as a missionary we pray alottttt I didn’t t pray as much before the mission but now I pray for everything. I love being able to pray. Keep working hard friends and endure to the end. I love you Rama Liahona.
