This week was just AMAZING!! There's so much that was just amazing and I really simply just don't have enough time to write it all, so I'm going to go through pictures and write a little bit about them all.
We had our last district meeting with this amazing district, on Wednesday! Elder Patterson, our district leader, is going home! and Elder Feltner is leaving to Hanford!
They are crazy, but it's fun!
On Saturday, we were waiting for transfer calls. I don't know what it is
about transfers but everything is just so nerve racking! At about 4 in
the afternoon, we received a call from President. President doesn't call
on the day of Transfer Calls unless he's calling you to a leadership
position...President asked Sister Simonsen and I to train! We will be
co-training a new sister! What are the odds! We have one Sister coming
into the mission and the Lord wants us to train her! I'm so excited! But
here's the thing...we totally thought that the Sister that was coming
in was an English sister...so we started getting really nervous that
they would double us out of our area (We both leave and a new
companionship comes in).
As you can see...we were a little nervous. This is Saturday night.. waiting for the call. I was really nervous! Ahh!! But
all is well! We are staying in Echo! Quite honestly I was a little bit
surprised. I have been here in Echo for 7 1/2 months! Well it's a good
thing that I love Echo! :) Ha ha!
THEY GOT BAPTIZED!!! Sunday was soo great! We got to see Georgia,
Sebastian and Monse enter the waters of Baptism! It was such a special
service! Jesus received the Priesthood yesterday at church and got to
baptize his family that same evening! I'm truly thankful that the Lord
had prepared them so well! This is why I came on my mission! I have seen
this family grow so much. We have seen the change in them. They look so
much happier! I know that this gospel truly blesses families. Heavenly
Father sends us to earth in families so that we can feel a little bit of His love. "God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to
be, this is how He shares His love for the family is of God." I know that is so true.
All their family friends. A lot are members...a couple are not!
Families are truly the best thing that Heavenly Father has given us!
I'm glad I get to talk to mine this weekend! I love you all!
Love,
Hermana Ramos-Escobar
