I love Sundays ...Everything comes together on Sundays.
This week was crazy we didnt have many proselyting days because of conferences with Elder Montoya that came to visit Bolivia. We traveled on Wednesday to Potosiand Saturday to Cochabamba. Lots of time on a bus or plane but It was all worth it. I received so much revelation regarding the way to work in our area and my last transfer in the mision. I know I n eed to give my whole heart. I love how the Lord teaches me and leads me to read and ponder the words thatt will help me in the times I most need them. We finally figured out how to befriend the mean dogs that always want to eat us ... we brought them a treat, crossing our fingers that they would take that as ''we are friends now'' and they did!! but the greatest miracle happened yesterday. We talked to Mauri. We had felt we needed to soon. He's our eternal investigator that we felt was scared to be baptized. We have been praying tons for him and we felt we needed to talk a walk with him and talk about how he feels. It worked wonderfully. Its nothing we said or did he just opened up and in the end he said ''si quiero, si soy digno'' We could not believe it! We cried with him and we felt overjoyed. So it a surprise for his parents! Itll be the best! Here are some pictures

IT was so cold after. The weather here is crazy weird. That morning it was sunny.
So this week we saw more miracles. Theres no time Ill explain more next time. 1) After a good cita 2) I wil miss this 3) Delicias Ward 4) The almost snow haha Well this week was humbling and miraculous!
Getting used to Sucre has been rough but this week I was humbled and I learned that God's will is always greater than mine. I had such amazing experiences as I trusted in the Lord. My companion and I decided we needed to pray one afternoon as we were looking for people to teach and after doing so we still didn't know exactly what door to knock on or what street to go to but I learned that we truly do have our agency and we have to do much good of our own free will and then God will approve. We then felt to go down an alleyway and knocked on the first door. Marina came out and we instantly knew she was going to be great. It's awesome how I've been able to develop a greater awareness to the spirit's whisperings in the mission. She indeed was receptive and told us about her desire to repent and be at one with God and herself, it was wonderful to come in her home and share a message of hope and love from our Savior Jesus Christ. I know without a doubt that this gospel is true and it can bring anyone who accepts it with a sincere heart peace and hope and even joy! Well, this week I also got lost in my area haha. We had exchanges and I had to be alone leading it with another sister...Well I almost cried but I learned that I just need to trust God. That even if I feel lost he will help me find the way around, when I realized that I stopped stressing out and was able to find each place we had to go to it was a humbling experience. I couldn't do it alone but with God I felt safe and was able to lead without really knowing where I was going almost as it says in 1 Nephi 4:6. So then Saturday night we saw a miracle happen. So we've been struggling a bit to find people to teach or more like people who are willing to commit and truly change their lives. Fabian is someone that the hermanas here have been teaching for some time. He always wants to know more and know everything before accepting a date to be baptized. So in our last appointment with him before Saturday he had asked more about baptism but wasn't so sure. Saturday we asked if he had read his pamphlet and he did! He said he had read it the same night we gave it to him! That he really liked it and we asked him...Do you have the desires to be baptized? he said a firm "Si" and then I explained why we like to set a date with the people we teach he told us before we stopped talking that he had been thinking about the end of this month...(Woah we had planned that date with him) I said well we were just thinking about this too. He so willingly and happily accepted a date for the 28th of this month! It was so simple and perfect. I know that God prepared him and led him but he was humble to listen to the spirit and not reject the feelings he had about baptism as he read his pamphlet and the Book of Mormon. So that's our big miracle of the week. I know that when we work hard and are humble our fair goals are accomplished sometimes in unexpected ways. Hope you all have a blessed week! Enjoy each day! Pray and reconcilate yourself with him. I love you all, Hna Campana So hey! Im in Sucre now!
I had transfers. My new area is the opposite of everything in Siglo xx Traveling was crazy and getting there even more, it was freezing cold and it started to rain haha Everythng is hills! But really I know Im supposed to be here so that makes me feel peaceful and happy and motivated to walk up those hills each day. My new comp is Hna Kincaid shes from Alaska! Shes really cute! Im ''' killing her'' as they call it here. Shes going home after this transfer. Theres not too many investigators in this area yet but we've been working hard to find more. We saw miracles as we set goals and specifically prayed to find those ready to accept the restoration message and to be able to recognize them, and we did! almost everyday! God is great and His miracles are real if we have faith to see them. I want to work hard and leave my all here in Sucre my last area in the mission! Truly the mission has brought me the greatest of blessings, some I couldnt have imagined to ever see. I love my Heavenly Father and I know he loves me. He is aware of me. He answers my prayers, he did through the conference talks this weekend! I know this work is true. With love, Hna. Campana |
