Hola Everyone!
This week was FULL of so many things!
On Tuesday, we had zone conference! It was a really
neat experience and I learned so much about how to be a more effective
missionary. We drove down to Santa Maria and combined with the Santa
Barbara zone.
On Wednesday, we had exchanges with the travelling Hermanas.
I was with Hermana Palafox for the day and we were able to get so much
more done than we would have in a regular day. We got to go teach this
potential investigator that we found last Sunday and it turns out that they are
GOLDEN! They told us that they are looking for a church to join and want to
give their kids something to believe in. They're really family oriented
and are really friendly. We also finally made contact with some less
actives that we haven't been able to see yet.
On Thursday, we didn't have much success with teaching, but
it was totally made up for when one of our investigators came to the Relief
Society Enrichment activity! It was at the Paso Robles Sports Club and we
got to learn more about being healthy. Angie seemed like she really
enjoyed it and the women there were really welcoming, which was just what she
needed.
On Friday, we got to teach Bob. We've been having some
issues with trying to figure out how to help him stop smoking because nothing
seems to be working. When I was talking to him about the importance of
relying on the Atonement for strength, it was the first time that I could
honestly and truly feel the spirit working through me. It felt so good
that Heavenly Father trusted me to be able to convey this sacred message.
Yesterday, Hermana Romero and I got to talk in the Spanish
Branch Sacrament Meeting. I was freaking out big time, but once I got up
there, I didn't really feel to nervous. I just said what I knew and said
what came to my mind. I'm pretty sure I don't even remember half the
things I said, but afterwards a bunch of people came up to me and told me I did
a really good job, so I must have said something right!
Each day as we proselyte and teach, I'm constantly reminded
of how blessed I am to not only have the gospel in my life, but to have all the
temporal things I have as well. We teach in some scary places sometimes,
but I know that we're protected at all times as long as we're obedient.
The closer it gets to transfers (one week left), the more I
freak out and get nervous. Hermana Romero keeps telling me that I'm
probably going to train in Spanish. They're sending another set of
missionaries here to Paso at transfers so they're probably going to split the
english and spanish areas which means that even if I stay in Paso, I won't get
to do both :( I love all of the people we're teaching and don't want to
have to leave any of them even though it'll happen at some point. I just
don't want it to happen this soon!
Thanks for all of your prayers! You're all in mine!
Con Amor,
Hermana Halliday
Me with the Sisters in my zone.

Look! I'm FAT FREE! :-)
