Dear best family and friends en el
mundo,
This week was
pretty fun, we were in a trio for three days with Hermana Taylor since her
companion Hermana Thompson ended her mission and went home on Monday. Crazy! I’m
really going to miss her. She was one of my role models. It’s crazy to think
that next transfer I’m going to be in the group of the oldest hermanas out in
the field. I still feel like I just got here! Crazy! We went up to the
transfer meeting on Wednesday so Hermana Taylor could get her new companion. It
was fun to be there and just enjoy not have to be so worried and anxious about
who your next companion is going to be or were you are going to go. Me and Sister
Romano are happy we get to stay together. After transfer meeting we were
talking to some English sisters and one of the asked my name. Immediately after
I told her she was like "YOUR SISTER SAVAGE?!" she almost screamed
and then ran up and gave me a hug. It really surprised me, and I was a little
confused. Then she was like "You’re sister Seguras daughter! I have heard
so much about you, I feel as if I know you!" It was super funny to see how
excited she was to meet me. ha-ha. Man I sure do miss sister Segura. But
something crazy happened in transfer meeting there were like 4 sets of
missionaries that are now companions again with their trainer! They were all
suuuuuper excited, and it got me really excited because maybe there is a
possibility that me and sister Segura can serve together again!!!! :) That
would be super cool. Love her so much.
We had a lesson with one of my
favorite investigators Cele this week and it ended up being one of the hardest
things I’ve had to go through. I have just come to love this guy so much and
its super hard to see when he’s not making the steps to true happiness, and
just can’t seem to see what it is that we see. I know that must be exactly how
God feels. He gets devastated when we don’t make the choices in our lives that
can bring us joy. And that is because he cares sooooooo much about us, and all
he wants is the best for us. Sometimes it makes Him sad because we can’t see
what He sees we can’t see the whole picture, but He can. Sometimes we go
through the hard times and we see others going through those hard times and we
have done everything that we can think of but sometimes it just doesn’t work. It’s
sad, but I guess it’s just not his time, and now we can just let the Lord take
control of things, and start to soften his heart.
We had a really awesome zone meeting
on Tuesday and Elder Murphy said something that I really liked. He said
"Missionary work is over. It is now the work of salvation" and it is
soooo true. Missionary work is over; the responsibility to share the gospel is
not just for the missionaries. "Now is the time for members and
missionaries to work together." What an amazing time to be a part of
the gospel, at a time where everyone is a part of the work of salvation! It doesn’t
matter what you do or how small it may seem everything counts! Just being a
good example lets people wonder what it is that you have, just being kind
allows them to feel of the love that God has for them. Just being around them
and giving them the opportunity to be in the presence of someone who has the
constant companionship of the Holy Ghost makes all the difference! Any service
you give is missionary work, because it is the Lord’s work. I love you
all Mucho! And I hope you are all praying for missionary opportunities
each and every day, and if not, I challenge you too! And you will begin
to come to love to be a part of the work of salvation just as much as
I do! Love ya all! Talk to ya soon!
Love,
Hermana Savage
Ps. next week we don’t get a p-day
because we are having the mission Christmas party. So I’m not sure if I will be
able to write or not, so if not, have a great week!
