Hey everyone! I hope
that you all had a fantastic week this week! I for one, had a crazy week this
week because....WE HAD TRANSFERS!! So we are here in our new area and like the
title says...our area is called Metepec :) oh yeah, both of us are still here
together :) We are going to finish the training of my daughter here in a
different area. It was really weird because like, they never change trainers
and their companions while they are training unless something bad happened or
the trainer or trainee went home....so we were kind of like, "Whaaat!?
What is happening?" But yeah it`s all good so don`t worry :) and....Oh my
gosh...this area is super beautiful!! I lOVE it! I will send pictures because
it is amazing :) well...maybe I just think it is really amazing here
because...my other area was...pues, mas o menos haha. It was alright...but
yeah, I really like it here. The only thing that is a little hard is that it is
a lot hotter here than in our other area...but it`s all good we just sweat a
lot more :) and I like, hardly put make up on here because I feel like I am
constantly wiping my face so...why would i bother putting on make up ;) I do
put like a tiny bit of mascara on so I don`t look like a man in a skirt ;) haha
but yeah. cool story right?
Sorry, this letter is
super lame haha because I don`t really have any exciting stories to tell or any
cool experiences either...oh yeah haha the only thing I can think of that you
might find a little funny is....yep you guessed it! I totally slipped in the
street the other day when the Bishop was taking us around to get to know the
area haha (because we are both new here and don`t know ANYTHING!). We were
walking down a little callejón (it`s like an alley) and since it is a bit
skinny I was walking behind my comp and the bishop and I was wearing shoes that
are a little bit slippery haha and...yeah I totally slipped and fell. But don`t
worry, this time I caught myself! But I used a lot of...force? Strength? uh...I
don`t know what the word would be haha but I used a lot of energy to catch or
save myself and so I like, kind of hurt my back in the process but it only hurt
for a second :) but yeah I think that is the only thing "exciting"
that happened this week....
I did have a spiritual
experience in regards to the transfer that we had. Our first night here in
Metepec we were both crying, for a lot of reasons haha, but one of the main
reasons was that this transfer was like a tender mercy for us because all the
members here are so amazing and they want to help us and support us and stuff
like that and I don`t know, there is like a completely different feeling here
and we feel so much happier for some reason...to be honest, Atexcac was really
hard for us for some reason and we cried and wanted to cry so many times while
we were there...but at the same time it was something beautiful to be able to
serve there. I don`t know how to explain it, it`s complicated and something
that even I still don`t understand (hence the fact that I can`t even express my
feelings haha. How pathetic...) but anyways, so I don`t know, I just felt so
much love from my Father in Heaven and I knew in that moment without a doubt
that He knows me perfectly and that He knows what I need when I need it. He
knows better than I do and His ways are always better and higher than mine. I
don`t know exactly why He sends us to the areas that He sends us to or gives us
the companions that He gives us, but I do know that He is guiding my life. He
knows what`s best for me. He is refining me in the furnace of affliction and
yeah, sometimes it is sooo hard and hurts really bad...but in the end I will
leave the furnace stronger than when I entered it and I will be refined by His
hand and be made into the piece of art that He has always had in mind. I know
that God is real, that He exists and that He hears and answers our prayers. I
can see His hand in my life and I recognize when He is molding and refining me,
even when I don`t fully understand or see why.
I hope you can all pay
more attention to the Hand of the Lord in your lives and try to understand why
He is molding you the way he is molding you. Try to always think positively and
eternally in every challenge that you face so that you can see more easily all
the benefits that come from being molded by "fire" so you can all
leave the furnance stronger than how you entered :) (hopefully that makes
sense, all the wording and stuff....I am losing my ability to speak (in english
and spanish haha! Thank goodness this thing called "spanglish" exists
right? ;) ) The homecoming talk is going to be a disaster.... ;) alright well,
I love you all! Stay strong in the gospel and defend the truths that you know
and believe. Enjoy the photos! :)
Love,
Hermana Walker
