| Rosalia's baptism! Hermana Salguero, Hermana deLeon, and Elder Lopez |
Rosalia
was so cute! She was first taught by the elders before Hermana Oldroyd
and I got there. We taught her, and then stopped teaching her for a bit,
and then started teaching her again right before I left. It was so
incredible to see just how God prepared her, how it was finally her time
to make that promise. She has such a strong testimony. She has had some
health problems, but every trial just shows her how much God loves her
and how she needs to endure. I love her so much! And I got to see the
Selma crew again and direct the music.

I got to be with Sister Cate who was in my BYU ward! She's an english
missionary, but she took spanish in high school and they got put into a
ward that has spanish members in it, so she's been learning it and she's
doing great! It was super fun to reconnect. Also, her old area has a
couple in it who served in our ward mission leader's mission with him.
And he had been meaning to reach out to them recently. I love how God
just directs everything, no coincidences, just divine design!

This
week I learned a lot about ministering to others. Often we think of
missionary work as leaving the apartment at 11 each day, teaching and
talking to people, and returning at 9 pm. But God is in the business of
saving people, not just teaching them or doing administrative things. We
had the opportunity to really reach out to some people this week and
help them feel God's love. If a whole day is spent and we only feel like
we touched one person, that's ok. It's like the story of the star fish.
A man going along the shore throws a few starfish that are starting to
dry up back into the ocean. Another man asks, "Why do you do that? You
can't save all of them!". Throwing one in, the first man replies, "I
know, but it means the world to that one". This week try to find someone
everyday who you can really touch. Sunday School was about prayer and
how we can be answers to others' prayers. If you're willing to listen
and act, God is going to tell you who needs you today.
