Hermana Kirsten Anderson: ¡Viva México!

My dearest family and friends,
This week was honestly one of the best weeks of my entire life.
Despite all the crazy independance day parties that kept us up all
night, we were able to work hard and see the fruits of our labors. And
on Sunday ALBERTO WAS BAPTIZED! It was such a Spiritually uplifting
experience. My favorite was his confirmation. Alberto is divorced and
has asked a lot of questions about Eternal Marriage. He has such a
strong desire to fulfill all the commandments of God and has been
worried about his ability to complete with the commandment of
marriage. In his confirmation blessing, he was told he would one day
be sealed in the temple, serve a mission with his compañera, and that
all his children and grandchildren would receive the blessings of the
Gospel. I don´t think there´s anything more I could possibly want for
one of my investigators.
This week, after a day of walking and not much else, we felt like we
should visit a less active member that basically lives al fin del
mundo. We went and sure enough she was home, and she also had a friend
over. After a couple minutes of talking, we found out that the friend
is the niece of one of the members in our ward and she has gone to
church a couple times. Just recently, she has felt the need to learn
more...and that´s when we showed up. We taught a wonderful lesson
about the Restoration and she understood everything perfectly. I´m
excited to she how she progresses!
Well, this is my last week in Salvatierra. It´s 99% sure I´ll be
returning to Uruapan this next week with a new companion! I don´t
think anyone has ever had so many changes in so little time in the
mission. Haha I guess that just means there´s something the Lord needs
me to learn from all this. I love the mission so much because it is
such a prime time to learn and grow as well as help others to do the
same. I love the mission with all my heart and I know this is where I
need to be.
Alma 26:30-31
Con todo mi amor,
