President Egbert!
Okay so this morning during personal study I read
something that said something to the point that God is preparing his people for
us to come teach them, and I have definetely seen that in this week.
So I have two quick stories where I saw God´s hand in the
work. First off we had a reference to visit this lady all we knew is she had
heard a little from other people and she wanted to know more. So we go and she
is not there... but her sister is and tells us that we can share the message
with her. So we start and go through the whole first lesson, this lady is
really receptive, answering all of our questions, and really positive through
the whole lesson! So we invite her to be baptized, she goes on to tell us that
she is already a member that her and her sister were baptized years ago but
haven´t had anything to do with the church since then. So we invited her to
start coming back to church with us and her sister and she accepted! It was
something little but I feel like we were sent to visit her as a reminder of the
sacred covenants that she has already made with our Heavenly Father.
The second story is about a reference as well. We knew
that the daughter had a Book of Mormon but that´s about all. So we taught the
daughter and her mom. We were sharing lesson one and we got to the Joseph Smith
story and the sweet mom goes on to tell us it, like all of it! and the
testimony of the 8 and 3 witnesses... She has read the Book of Mormon! and she
wants to know more about this gospel! It was a really neat experience.
These two very simple situations were definetely a
testimony builder that God does know his children and he is preparing them for
this gospel and it´s our job to show up, prepared, and to share what we know to
be true! I love this gospel and I love being a missionary so much!
Love,
Hermana P

Tuesday- Interviews and House Checks in Tezontepec
"The only disability in life is a bad attitude"...
(Above) Elder Ponce and Elder Smart headed out on divisions.
(Below) Hermana Anderson- Hermana Garcia enjoying their new home in the area of Santiago. Wonderful members live next door and his dental office is on the bottom level of their apartment. We are so grateful for great members and neighbors of the mission that watch over and assist our missionaries daily.
Hermana Garcia and Hermana Molina
These two amazing sisters had their home in perfect order and when they rode with us in the mini van to interviews they sang us "I am a Child of God" in ENGLISH. It was absolutely amazing as their voices were angelic and their efforts to learn that song in English touched our hearts.

This house has the best view ever. Elder Beesley and Elder Caamal have been able to watch the corn grow out the window of where they study from a planted seed to high rows of corn stalks. Love the brightness of their yellow home which sits on the second level of an existing home.
Our great zone leaders in Tezontepec - Elder Smart&Elder Esteves
Our great Sister Leader Trainers Hermana Cebreros and Hermana DeFranco working hard in this new area they opened. Lots of rain recently has made their home a little wet...but they never complain!
Elder Beesley (above) bought a big bag of mini popcorn bags and shared with everyone in the mini van. He's always thinking of others and is such a bargain shopper! Thanks Elder....
Elder Flores and Elder Galo working hard in their area and doing a great job in English Study. Elder Flores is making up for lost time my having his English Speaking companion help him daily. Last week Elder Flores passed off two modules!!! Their home was in order and I was even able to collect many extra blankets that can be used in new houses we are opening. Thanks so much Elders.
Some one is a little tired!!!

Hola presidente
... esta semana ha sido muy buena, y muy
dificil. He aprendido como es que mi padre Celestial contesta, y de verdad a
darme cuenta de por que estoy sirviendo una mision. Hemos hablado con tantas
personas nos sea posible, esto ha hecho que como 32 personas nos hayan dado su
dirección para visitarles. Y que pudimos tener 14 nuevos investigadores, cuando
llegamos a 10 mi compañera y yo dijimos "Presidente no es un
mentiroso" hahaha. Nos dimos cuenta de que valioso es el tiempo, pues
tenemos nuestros relojes ahora y nuestra meta es poder mejorar nuestro tiempo .
No se como explicarle como me siento, de verdad tan humilde, aprendo cada día
más, de verdad presidente siento que he estado siendo cambiada, y aunque aveces
me siento insuficiente con mi asignación o incluso como misionera pude sentir
por que es que aveces el panorama se vuelve algo dificil , pues estamos
vaciandonos y purificandonos, de verdad siento que me he vuelto tan temerosa de
Dios. Vivo anhelando ser mejor, pero ahora por el proposito correcto. Después
de la reunion de lideres este viernes, llegue a casa y ore, ore con tanta
energia en mi corazon, y la respuesta no llegó inmediatamente pero llegó....Hna. C

P-Day had a little hiccup when cleaning the house!!!
President Egbert delivered a new fridge to Elder Gamez and Elder Pass after their tiny of complication ...
"Hermana Egbert- we were trying to defrost our fridge/freezer and the ice wasn't melting fast enough. So we used a screwdriver to chop away at the ice and I think I punched through the freezer lines. Stuff is coming out . That's not good, is it? "

Thursday- Interviews and House Checks in Tulancingo Zone
Hermana Daines and Hermana Gonzalez are new to the area of Huachinango. They are such a great addition to this zone. Their house has a water feature- it involves a daily rain storm that pours off their roof into the front balcony and runs through the front door into their house. They are being such troopers and dealing with the large quantity of unwanted water- hopefully we can get them moved or a quick fix to the roof.

Elder Sanchez and Elder Fox moved to this new apartment as they were living where the sisters above now live. (Now I know the motivation of their move... hmmmm.)
A few curtains for the windows and a shower curtain should help make this place "home sweet home."
Elder Stewart and Elder De La Cruz are a great companionship. Keeping working hard on that English Study Elder De La Cruz- you are doing great!

United and Teaching with One Voice
Elder Ellis and Elder Grajales in their own unique area of Huachinango. They actually have the best house in the area and had things properly in order. I wasn't sure I could find my way back to the Church and so they took me back and walked back to their area. Thanks so much for watching out for "Mom Egbert".

A Powerful Companionship
These two sisters are such a great asset to the zone as well. They are serving in Tulancingo (town itself) and had their house in perfect order.
I know you are smiling just by looking at these smiling faces of amazing Elders.
