52: RRRRRRR

I have the biggest news ever this week, I am celebrating one year rrrrrrrrrrrolling my Rs! This has been such a challenge for me since the CCM, but I can do it! I may not be pura catracha yet but Im getting closer.

Also, I hit one year this week! That is insane! I think until I had about 9 months I still felt pretty new in the mission, but now everyone sees me as one of the old ones. It is weird! Im still denying it. 

We had lots of successes this week, prouncing my Rs, Karla, Ivon, Yonis, and Angelica in church, lots of divisions, more progressing baptismal dates. It is an exciting time for the hermanas in Prados!

Karla will be baptized next week, and she is ready! She was an investigator from La Joya before she went home for vacations, and wasnt baptized because her parents didnt approve it. But now they do, and now is her time! She has a friend that we started teaching this week whose name is Ivon. She is also very prepared to receive us, in our first lesson we had with he, she cried as she said the last prayer. She had been waiting for something like this to teach her about her divine potencial and worth. She doesnt have a date, but we are hoping to put one this week.

Yonis and Angelica are progressing a little slower, but reading the Book of Mormon and have a lot of interest. Yonis has a baptismal date for the 17th of this month, so we are preparing him to be ready for that.

Right now all the college students are returning from their pueblos to study, so our area is really alive. Almost all our investigators are YSA, and we are trying to plan Family Home Evenings for all of them to get to know each other. It is a lot of fun teaching them because we are their age, and its easier to relate to their problems. They are our most positive investigators.

I thought I would share an experience we had a week ago with one of the Young Women in our ward. Her family is very inactive, but she goes to church and activities on her own. We helped her do a Personal Progress experience the other day, and after I realized how important that program is. I remember doing it, and I liked it, but I testify now that I know why it is so important. This young woman, Yanina, will be a light to her family and her future family for her faith and desire to be a godly woman. After that appointment we went home to eat lunch and I put on my medallion, I now wear it frequently and proudly. Thank you to all my YW leaders! You are incredible!

Feliz semana a todos! Lean las escrituras, oren, compartan sus testimonios, sean luces para aquellos que no tienen esa luz en sus vidas!
