Hello Family and Friends!
I know I'm a few days late but
hope you all had a happy Easter!!! This week was crazy but definitely one of
the best weeks yet!
On Tuesday we went to Calama
for zone conference. It was really great and President talked a lot about
humility and faith. He definitely got me thinking and there is so much more I
can be doing to grow in that aspect of my life!
This week on Friday we were
able to travel to Antofagasta with Cata, Katy, and Mariana (Cata's mom) for their
baptismal interviews! We had so much fun and the best part was that they
passed!!!!
Saturday was awesome! We had 3
baptisms!!!! Armenia, Cata, and Katy. It was such a special day and the spirit
was so strong. I was able to speak to them about the importance of baptism and
it was even cooler that they were baptized and confirmed during Easter week.
Even more symbolic of the death and resurrection and their new lives that they
have started. It was priceless seeing their faces as they came up out of the
water. And I'm happy to say that the water was perfect, as opposed to last time.
We found a new investigator
this week who is golden. She has already come to church twice just because she
wants to so we finally were able to have an appointment with her and we taught
the restoration. She cried the whole time as we testified that she could have a
new life and she accepted a baptismal date for the 16th! I am happy that Hna.
Challco has a few progressing investigators to work with in Tocopilla.
Also....I have been transferred
to Copiapo. My ward is los pimientos and my companion is Hermana Caballero from Paraguay. She is super great and this is her last transfer in the mission. We
will be Sister Training Leaders together! Copiapo is nice and surprisingly
really green. I know I will love it here.
It was definitely hard saying
bye to Tocopilla. I love Tocopilla and even more the people there. It was hard
saying bye to Armenia, Cata, Katy, and Mariana....and all the branch members.
But this is how the mission goes.
Sorry I don't have tons of time
to write today. but I hope everyone is doing well and enjoy conference weekend!
This past week I loved watching
Aleluya with so many people. I love the part that says "todos seran
vivificados" or all shall be made alive. Vivificados is maybe my favorite
word in Spanish. I love the idea that we can always find new life. Literally
through the resurrection but in any moment that we feel a need to repent we can
repent and find new life. If we feel sad. Thanks to Christ we can feel peace. I
know Jesus Christ lives and is our Savior. I know we will all be resurrected
and that really families can be forever! I am so grateful for the gospel in my
life and the opportunity I have to share it with the people here in Copiapo!!!
Love,
Hermana Freedman
