How's everyone doing? 😊 Sorry my emails had been short lately but I am very happy and very thankful for your replies and words of encouragement 😊 Dojeh leihdeih!

Updates/Highlights from last week:

We had zone meeting last Tuesday and President Phillips announced that the mission goal before this year ends is to have Baptism per companionship by December... so yeah, gayauh (we can do it!)! Also, Zone Conference and interviews are coming up and I am sooo excited!

Last Wednesday was a very good day! We went to the temple and supported "Sister G.". She did Baptisms for the Dead for the first time. She said she really had a great time inside the temple 😊 She's really doing great! 😊

Also last week, we tried the new way of finding people called "Window Finding". Basically it's still in a "pilot test" mode because President Phillips didn't give everyone a "go" signal yet. My companion (who is an Sister Training Leader) said they were trained about it last week during their Mission Leaders Council and she wants us to also try it. 😄 ... This new way of finding requires more on relying on the Spirit's guidance. So our companionship needs to prayerfully select a specific place and time, stay on that place, talk to those people then introduce ourselves as missionaries of the church. We will testify of a specific principle and a personal experience how it changed our lives then we will ask if they would want to hear more about our message and if they said yes, we will share the lesson with them, but if they said no, we'll try to get their number and thank them for their time... And I was surprised that this new way of finding really works and some days were successful! I know that Heavenly Father leads us to those elect people (and vice versa).

Missionary work is doing great! I am happy to be a missionary. Yes it has it's ups and downs but I am learning everyday especially on how to be more humble and to rely more fully on the Spirit. I love being a missionary and I know that this is His great work.
