Alright
so, guess what? We are Hermanas Lideres! Whoo! It feels really weird because I
don`t feel ready haha but yeah...we get to do all the intercambios with the
sisters in our zone and we get to give little classes or lessons in the zone
conferences and all that fun stuff. It`s a little bit stressful but I know that
I can do all things through the Lord Jesus Christ and I know that Heavenly
Father and the Savior have faith and trust in me to complete this calling so I
will press forward with faith and with happiness and of course with a constant
prayer because I need all the help that I can get.

Lara goes home in January...she is almost done with her mission...and I will
have 6 months in this area by the time the next changes meeting happens and so
it is very likely that I will have changes...that means that two new
missionaries are going to come to la Joya...this is a little scary because they
aren`t going to know who anyone is haha...que dificil...
We
are going to have a zone conference thing for Christmas this wednesday and
since we are leaders we need to be in charge of planning with the other two
sisters of the zone Nealtican and the four elders (our zone leaders and the
zone leaders of the Nealtican. Elder Thomas was my district leader here in la
joya but now he is the zone leader in la nealtican so it is kind of funny
because our two zones are going to be doing the activities together so it is
kind of like he is still part of La joya haha. Elder Cuasace, the new District
leader for us, is training and his son is from Tamaulipas (the part of mexico
that Hna Lara is from).
Alright,
I am so sorry but I need to go now....I love you all and I hope you have a
fantastic week! I hope that you also all get the chance to watch the video He
is the Gift in youtube and that you can share this special Christmas Spirit
that we have with other people.
Really
quick:
I
read an article in the Liahona the other week and read a story that really
impacted me. It was a talk by L tom Perry I think, but he related a story that
was told by President...oh no, I can`t remember...One of the first prophets of
the Church haha, I will check later if you want to know who it was haha.
Anyway, he related a story about one of his neighbors who is really well off
with work and is really kind and all that but he isn`t a member. The man
concluded that he could see no difference between the way he lived and the way
his mormon neighbors lived and so he thought that they were just as good as the
mormons and that there was no difference between him and them. The President,
who I can`t remember his name, said that this is no compliment to him. I can`t
remember his quote word for word but he basically said that if the gospel of
Jesus Christ doesn`t make him a better man than he hasn`t developed as he
should and that there is need for reform in Israel. Directly after this story
President L Tom Perry said that we need to be bold and dare to be different.
That we need to live temple recommend lives and always be worthy of the temple
recommend. He also said that we need to not be afraid of offending people by
standing up for and living temple recommend lives.
This
really impacted me and it is something that I need to be better at because
sometimes I have fears of offending people and I am not as bold in my testimony
of the Savior as I should be. I really hope to change in my time in the mission
and become a different person so that I truly served a mission where I changed
my nature and not just my character. I hope that we can all live temple
recommend lives and really live how Jesus Christ would have us live. It´s
important to remember that this life really is super important because every
action that we make has a consequence, whether good or bad, temporal or
spiritual, for time or for eternity. I hope that we can all work on being
better and changing our nature and not just our characteristics.
I love you all! I am sorry this is so lame....but have a great week!!
Love always,
Hermana Walker
