Hola, Familia Y Amigos

Hi Everyone,

 

 

Things have been going great! Hermana Ivins and I have been working so hard. My favorite part of being a missionary is I just have to focus on OTHERS & doing the lords work, no other worries! It's amazing how much you can accomplish when you forget yourself. I LOVE IT .  This past week was pretty cool the Church sent its media people to video missionaries from our mission. They focused on the service we do in the community. We do service in a lot of areas around my mission and it's been such a blessing to help others.  My companion and I were in the video so that was pretty neat.  We also did some service by helping put tile in a kitchen for a family .... You can say we had NO Idea what we were doing so we ended up cleaning dishes for the wife instead haha it's the thought that counts right !

 

 

Our friend Benjamin is still on date for baptism so please keep him in your prayers. We work hard but so does satan. Benjamin can't read but he has so much faith , and he listens to the Book Of Mormon on his phone.  I'm so grateful for modern day technology and how easy we can access the scriptures, the word of God is right in our hands. He struggles but has a desire to learn and I know the Lord is very aware of him. 

 

 

I have been able to grow my testimony of the book Of Mormon while on my mission . I promise as you read it you will come to know our Savior and feel the love God has for all his children. The Bible teaches us about prophets in Jerusalem, In the  Book of Mormon we learn of prophets in the ancient Americas. TODAY we have living prophets and apostles.  

I LOVE that everyday I get to testify of this. 

In my personal studies this week I was reading Ephesians 2:20 "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. 

 

 

We also  had an awesome zone conference this week. Sister Smith (mission PRES.wife) talked about hope.I wrote down so many notes but here is what stood out to me. What is hope ? Hope is trust in the Lord. Hope is focused on the future. Then charity is the NOW ! I just love this. Hope is the confident expectation of and longing for the promised blessings of righteousness. The scriptures often speak of hope as anticipation of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. 

 

 

I hope you all have a wonderful week and remember to look for ways to help others in need :)

 

 

Love you all,

Hermana Green

Hello Everyone     This week has been awesome. We've been busy finding new friends and working in the office, I'm amazed at how we are able to accomplish our goals each week. On Saturday we received a referral and went to visit the family, however when we arrived at the apartment the man that answered the door said we had the wrong address. Of course we didn't turn away but we shared a message with him and invited him to church Sunday. We were surprised when we saw him walk in the doors Sunday. I was SO EXCITED ! I know the Lord has a plan for everyone and this young man took a leap of faith from what little he knew about the church, he felt something and wanted to learn more. It's hard sometimes to get our friends to come to church but then little miracles happen like this and I'm reminded that this is the Lord's work and our job as missionaries is to help people feel the spirit. I'm excited to teach him and help him recognize the spirit. I'll keep you ...

2 Baptisms & Christmas!

Hello Everyone   So many great things happened the last few weeks, First of all we had 2 baptisms last week !  Pablo got baptized and we are so happy for him! He is such a light ! He wants to serve a mission and has such a strong testimony. His baptism was scheduled for sunday but he was leaving town to go work and so we hurried and got his baptism together in 3 hours !  Then are friend Kevin was baptized by his father. His family is so humble and kind. I was so grateful to be a part of his special day.    We are teaching a really great family and they had a daughter that just turned 8 so they invited us to her party. I Love to teach these little girls. It's been so fun to watch them learn about the gospel. My companion and I made a ton of sugar cookie cut outs and used them in our lessons for the kids & they love it !  I can't get away from making cookies haha  We are also teaching a neat...

6 MONTHS!!!

Hola!     Well I'm at my 6 month mark and I can't even believe it ! Time flies when you're  having fun !!      San Jose is the place to be and I'm enjoying my new assignment. The office has been pretty great so far, very different from what I'm used to but I'm learning the ropes fast. It's amazing what the church is doing with social media these days, we are able to reach so many people this way. I've been put in charge of the instagram(Spanish page) for our mission. I also instruct other missionaries on the use of their instagram page, and help them learn how to share the gospel on social media. It's been a unique part of the mission so far! We are still teaching some great people here in San Jose and I'm excited when we get to leave the office to  go teach ! My new companion is Hermana Yoder from Boise Idaho. She's super cute ! She produces all  the spanish videos for the social media pages and I'm her sidekick :)      I LOVE bein...
