Guess What?! I have to talk in sacrament this Sunday!

so normally i´d be telling you guys the changes happening this transfer but president obeso wants to wait until tonight to tell us the transfers. so that will be interesting. i have no idea what´s gonna happen. i think im staying here in Pto. Varas for sure but i´m not sure if hermana Jenkins and i will have another transfer together! this morning when we left the house she prayed that we´d have another 6 weeks together. SUPER CUTE NO?! it´s crazy to me that the transfer is over and that hermana jenkins finished her training! she´s a big girl now!! 

we were supposed to have exchanges with the sister training leaders this week but we didn´t so that stunk. but we did have interviews with president obeso. it went awesome. i really love president obeso. when i walked in the room he asked me "why are you so happy?" 

so we are still in the procress of finding new people to teach. we actually lost like 3 investigators this week. so that was cool. i´ve been thinking a lot about why we haven´t found more of Gods children who are ready to accept the gospel if we are trying so hard to talk to everyone in the street. finding has never been my strength in the mission. i like to teach but i´m not a huge fan of finding. but i´ve learned (slowly but surely) that finding by the spirit is just as important as teaching by the spirit. and i realized that lately, i´ve just been talking to the people just to talk to them. i have the faith that they´ll stop and listen but i´ve had the attitude of "let´s go out and get it done...let´s talk to everyone that passes us." and i´ve realized that i have not been trusting in the spirit to guide me to the people that the Lord wants me to talk to. there´s a huge difference when we work efficiently and effectivly. in D&C it says that we are called to bring to pass the gathering of the elect because the elect hear the voice of the Lord and harden not their hearts. so this week, i´m going to find the elect. and guess what?! i have to talk in sacrament this sunday! i´m super nervous. i do not like giving talks. but guess what my topic is? it´s how do i recoginize and follow the promptings of the spirit. just what i need to be able to recognize and follow the promptings of the spirit better this week.

anyways, i love you all so much! i hope you have a great week!! pray that we can find the elect here in pto varas!!

con amor, hermana steele
