This
week was kind of a blur, transfers happened on Wednesday so a lot has changed!
I'm still in Murcia but it's always different being with a new companion. My
new comp is hermana May, she's from Wyoming and super funny. She's also very
serious about cleaning.
Anywho,
Monday was good, we had a noche de hogar with Sharon and Luis but in the house
of Araceli and her family so it was really fun. Sharon was so sweet and had
brought a cake with "Gracias Hermana Philips" spelled out in it. Yes,
Philips only had one L on the cake haha.
Tuesday
we had a district meeting even bigger than last week... There were FIFTEEN of
us! That was crazy, we barely all fit in the room. We had to combine the
districts since our district leader was in Málaga to pick up his trainee, plus
we had a few random missionaries in the area who were staying in Murcia since
their companions were also in Málaga. On Tuesday we also met with Conchi, and
Eva, and Evelyn and her boys, and then went to the noche de hogar at
Estefania's house!
Wednesday
were transfers, so basically I was at the train station all day with other
missionaries waiting for our companions to show up! It was fun though. We
got pizza for lunch. Hermana May came in the afternoon and then we went with a
member, Paquita, to visit David and Fatiha (they're moving to a different
pueblo).
Thursday
we started off the day with weekly planning, then went out and did some finding
at night! Friday was a finding day too, we worked all morning and found no one,
all afternoon too with no success until like the last hour of the night when we
met six people who were all interested and gave us their number to call
them!
On
Saturday morning Arellys (a girl in the ward) got baptized, the baptism was
really sweet and she had invited some friends which was so good! In the
afternoon we met with Conchi and then watched the broadcast of stake
conference.
Sunday
we had stake conference again, they're building a big church building in
Cartagena but until then they do stake conference via broadcast because there's
not enough room for everyone to come to one building! Then we had correlation,
ate with Mírian and her family, and went out finding again! We met a few more people
who had interest which is good.
Today I
read in the Book of Mormon about the travels of the prophet Lehi and his
family. Laman and Lemuel (2 of the sons in the family) were basically
complaining the whole time, but I liked what one verse said.
1 Nephi
2:12 "And they did murmur because they knew not the dealings of that God
who had created them."
When
hard times pass, we're prone to complain (at least I am) but if we could
understand "the dealings of that God who created us," or what God's
big-picture plan is for us, we would understand why we have to go through what
we do. Everything that happens to us in life can be for our benefit, even
though we don't see how in the moment!
Love,
Hermana Walker
