Well this week has been another great week out in Henrico! We got transfer calls and I am staying and Hermana Eddington is leaving. I'm grateful to be staying here in this area! I love it!

Biggest miracle this week is that Valery went and did baptisms at the temple and the rest of her family all went and went to the Visitor's Center. Such a miracle! They really loved it and had a wonderful spiritual experience. They were able to talk to the Hermanas at the Visitors Center and they explained to them more about the temples and what they are and the importance of them especially for the families. The next day the whole family went to all three hours of church and the lesson lo and behold was on Eternal Marriage! Haha perfect! They loved it and she brought up how they had gone to the temple before and how beautiful it was and that they saw a couple there who were getting married and they looked so so happy. It was awesome! I couldn't stop smiling haha!

We have been having a really hard time finding new investigators which has been kinda hard but this week we saw a lot of miracles and found a lot of cool people.

"Some may ask why we as a people and church quietly and consistently seek to change individuals while there are such large problems about us... But decaying cities are simply a delayed reflection of decaying individuals.... The commandments of God give emphasis to improvement of the individual as the only really way to bring about the real improvement of society."

We all have so much to be grateful for and one of the best ways we can show gratitude to out Heavenly Father is by sharing the blessings that we have. So go out and seek the individual. Trust me. It makes all the difference.

Love,

Hermana Stewart

Hey y'all! So this week was really great! We are excited for our people.

awesome.

So the subject line is from the one and only Joaquin haha he is the best and says that is going to be his "baptismal theme" when he is baptized.. haha if there were such a thing.

So this is going to be a random letter.

-Last night we tracted for 3 hours straight and like NO ONE wanted to hear from us. So when it was getting close to going home we tried one of our investigators to see how she was doing and she wasn't home and then we tried her neighbor and of course(the last door, like it always is) they were AWESOME! They are a family of three, the mom and two daughters, one is 17 and one is 19 and they just moved here from Venezuela about three weeks ago! Talk about perfect timing when the biggest change in their lives just happened! They let us in right away and we just became best friends immediately I love them so much already. And they loved the idea of the book of momron! They said they had always wondered why there wasn't scriptures from here as well! Miracle!

- leticia, valery's mom said that we need more missionaries in our branch(we already have 5 sets) because we need to bring more people to church. Haha Im like your not even a member yet! But she loves the church and shes seen the healing power in her family thanks to the gospel so she naturally wants to share it! She already told her sister in Mexico to go to church, she found where it was at and everything! "Hay que traer mas gente!"

-Luciana, the woman from Brazil is really struggling she has had some really hard things happen these past couple weeks but we did have a great lesson on the plan of salvation with her this week and she really liked it! I'm not going to lie when we sat down for the lesson I was a little nervous and wondering how it was going to work out but the spirit works magic! Haha I was nervous because we brought a member but she only speaks Spanish and Portuguese and then me and Hermana Eddinton only speak English and then Luciana just speaks Portuguese and a little bit of english. So there is not one language that all of us speak! But the spirit did its job and Im actually surprised how much Portuguese we can understand! She talks to us in Portuguese and we just respond in spanish its weird but hey it works!

-Valery got the holy ghost this week yay!

- and much more but no time!!!

Love you all so much thanks for all the love and support it really does make a big difference! Until next week!

Hey everyone so AMAZING CRAZY WEEK!!

First off Valery got baptized!! YAY! It was amazing! The whole
baptismal program went great and everyone loved it! Tons of people
were there:) I just love that girl so much she has the purest heart.
After she was baptized she was just so happy and crying and she was
just glowing. She gave her testimony after and one thing she said
"when the Hermanas knocked on my door I was doing a lot of bad stuff.
But now I feel like a good person. Now I finally feel happy." Her
testimony was amazing and so sincere! She has sooooo much faith.
Honestly whenever we taught her stuff I would always be a little
worried(I know I need to have more faith) that she wasn't going to
accept something but she always did! When we taught tithing she was
like "can I pay it today??" She's just so sweet.

Another thing we did this week was volunteer with the Salvation Army!
It was super fun they were doing like a secret Santa thing so kids can
have a Christmas and they needed a lot of Spanish speakers to help
because a lot of the families they get only speak Spanish. The lady
who was in charge of it told us that we were her answer to her prayer
this year. And another lady said who's been doing for twenty years
that when she sees bilingual people to help she always wants to cry.
Haha they were so sweet to us, they treated us like royalty.

Brenda and her family are doing great as always! They are the sweetest
family ever and I am always so amazed that all her four kids who are
under the age of 8 always listen so intently to us as well. It is the
sweetest thing! Brenda loves the church and wants to join and be
baptized but her biggest thing right now is that she can't come to
church because she is always watching other kids on Sunday's:( She was
going to bring them to the church but she said that the mom of the
kids doesn't like our church..... So we are praying that she can find
a way to come!!

This week has seriously been a great, crazy week. I LOVE helping
people come unto Christ and prepare for the second coming of Christ
and I have learned through this service and help I have come SO much
closer to Christ as well. It truly is amazing the love I feel that He
has for me, everyone I am around right now, and all of you.

D&C 35:27
27 Fear not, little flock, the kingdom is yours until I come. Behold,
I come quickly. Even so. Amen.


Love you! Hasta luego:)
