Semana 33 en Ceres


Querida familia y amigos --
        This week was a wonderful week! We worked so hard and we had lots of lessons! Despite having preparation day on a different day, interviews, and district meeting we were able to have a very productive week!
Tuesday:  We had a wonderful lesson with J and L and their family. We talked about prophets and played the prophet game with them. The children loved it and J really seemed to understand it.
Wednesday:  We had district meeting and had a wonderful language study with the other hermanas. We also tried something new today and were able to teach two extra lessons and have two return appointments for this week! Maybe two new investigators! yay! We also had a wonderful lesson with the familia P with the Hermana M from the branch.  We love teaching with the Hermana M because she always bears such a powerful testimony and she knows how to help people feel comfortable and she shows her love to everyone in a way that they feel special. How grateful I am for her! E(the daughter) also participated a lot more in the lesson.
Thursday: We taught the PMG lesson at church for all of the members. It went wonderfully! We did the activity about the Gospel of Jesus Christ (the steps on the pathway) and the members now understand the importance of following all 5 steps and helping others do the same. Our ward mission leader was thrilled and so were we. We also used primary songs to help teach about Faith and following the example of Jesus Christ. I love Primary songs! They teach in way that is very easy to understand. We also taught a lesson to S. We finished teaching the Plan of Salvation. Hopefully her work schedule will change so we can teach her more.
Friday: Dia de amor y Amistad or Dia de San Valentin!!! We had dinner with the familia M and we all dressed up in Valentine colors. But the most exciting thing was the lesson we had with the Familia P again! We went with a different member and it went really well. They all finally opened up to us and we are now creating a plan to help them feel comfortable in coming to church. We can't wait for them to meet more members and come to church. We also discovered as we were teaching the plan of Salvation that they love puzzles. Everything was making sense to E through the puzzle that I have of the Plan. We will continue to use this knowledge to help us teach to their needs. We also received cute stuffed animals from the familia A when we were out and about.
Saturday: We had a wonderful lesson with a woman named S and her family. Unfortunately, we can't continue teaching them--they only speak English,so the English Elders will be teaching them. But, the lesson was wonderful! What a Spirit was there! As we asked inspired questions, they learned about the Plan God has for them. They all participated and they want to learn more! I love teaching the Plan of Salvation! The branch party was also today! A lot of people came and everyone participated!
Sunday: We taught a few less active families and it went to church. I was grateful that I got to go to church and renew my covenants.
          How I love this gospel! I love the Plan of Happiness that God has for us! I love my Savior! I know that He lives and He loves us! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Los quiero!   Hermana VanWie
