Hola hola,
So today I am writing from Santa Cruz. We spent pretty
much all day traveling and now we arrived and have a little time to
write. Tomorrow we have our monthly consejo de lideres. This past
week was a little crazy. Monday it was pouring rain, but like always we
played soccer and we got super soaked. We had a really nice noche de
hogar with la familia de Hermana R. She´s going to get baptized this
Saturday. She has 9 siblings, she´s 10 years old, the 4th oldest I think,
and she´s super cute and excited to be baptized. Her family are members
as well. On Tuesday we had intercambios, and Hermana N. came with me to
my area, and my companion Hermana C. went to the other area en Cobija. It
was a super great day and we worked really hard and had a lot of fun.
Friday morning we changed companions, and now I´m with Hermana N. She is
super awesome and a great missionary and a really good friend. I´ve enjoyed
being with her. I’m just sad because she finishes her mission next week. But
we´re working hard and teaching a lot of people, and there are a lot of people
progressing here. I love my area and all the people and I love being with
Hermana N. and feeling like we´re working super hard but having fun at the same
time.
On Saturday we went to an area that is 45 minutes away to do a
servicio with the zone. It was an area that’s even more undeveloped than where
I am in Cobija. It’s so humbling to see these people with so little but with so
much faith. It’s like that with la familia de Hermana R. There are
12 people in her family and they live in very humble circumstances. But they
have the Gospel and they have a beautiful family, and they are happy.
Yesterday
in testimony meeting almost everyone talked about their families and how they
can have an eternal family. We had 3 investigadores en la capilla, and I think
that it touched them hearing those testimonies, because it touched me.
Anyway, I’m still so happy and grateful to be here in Cobija and to be
with my companion, even if it’s just for a short time. We´ll be in Santa
Cruz until Wednesday and then go back, and I´ll let you know how it all goes.
Love you all,
Hermana Tijerino
