A new companion…Sister Lopez

18 November 2013

Dearest familia,

How are things? Things here are great! We had a baptism on Friday. Eliza was baptized. She is 15, she is such a cute girl. She was so excited to be baptized she would just light up with excitement whenever we talked about it. 

I also had changed this week. Hermana Lopez is my new comp. She is from Guatemala City. She is amazing. She is such a sweet person and always puts others before herself. She is nervous to be a leader but she will do a great job. 

Can you believe I made a year this week! Time is going by way too fast! I really like the message from conference that you shared about looking forward and not looking back. I feel like I am in a point in the mission where God is testing me. He has prepared me with great companions who have taught me what I need to do to have success in the mission. Now I feel like I have to seek inspiration from God more diligently to know how to help my investigators come unto Him. Does that make sense? 

I think I might have worms or something in my stomach. I’ve been feeling weird recently. But I’m not sure. Sometimes I’m not sure if it’s just part of life in Guatemala or what. They give us a pill at the end of the mission that kills everything in our stomachs. Not sure if I should just wait it out or what.

I read the article that mom sent me about the Sisters in the Philippines. What a miracle. These missionaries are amazing and an inspiration. Bad...horrible things in this world happen. They can be as tragic as a typhoon that rips through a country or they can be a mother who sees her family falling apart. But God is a God of miracles. He loves us and he will bless us in miraculous ways if we have faith in Him. I know miracles have not ceased. I know God loves us and is always aware of what we are going though in every moment. I know Christ lives. I know this is His church and I am so blessed to have the opportunity to represent my Savior. I hope and pray that I use every moment as he would have me.

Love you,

Hermana Davies
