¡¡Hola!!
Well my life is pretty boring nothing way exciting!! I have a new companion! And I suck at changes and so the first few days were filled with crying and being upset but now they are great. I really miss Hermana Quartino but she is doing great I´m sure at home and we are doing great here. My new companion is Hermana Lefler, she is from Texas. She has a lot of excitement for the work and a lot of hope for this area which is exactly what I needed here. I was starting to feel a little down about this area but now I have her and she has a ton of excitement and so I´m excited about that. It´s always good to have a new companion because we have different ideas for the work in every area and that is what is happening now. Before Sunday she really didn´t believe me that our branch is about to die but after church and only having and attendance of 18 she changed a little bit and saw what we saw and so now we are working hard together to make plans to try to build the branch and to build the investigator pull here also.
We found a way awesome investigator this week!!!! Like way awesome. We were contacting her neighbor and she walked up and was like what are you guys talking about and so we told her and she asked if we could pass by the next day and so we did. Her name is Nancy and she is the mom of 4 girls and her husband of 30 something years died last year and she turned to stuff that really didn´t help like smoking and drinking and now she is really searching for inner peace, she wants to find God for real. After our first lesson with her she was really excited and the next day we passed by and she had already read and was really excited about everything and that she is starting to find peace and finding answer to her questions. We started to teach her the Plan of salvation but we didn´t get through it with the part that she had be with her husband forever and so we are really excited to teach her that. We have a lot of hope for her and her girls. We are also sharing with the 14 girl right now and so that is nice. They are both very prepared and we are really excited. We are also teaching a family with 9 kids right now. They keep saying they are going to come to church but they never come and so we will see after this next Sunday, if they don´t come we are going to have to move on. They are very sweet people and we really want them to accept the gospel but if they aren´t willing to do their part then we can´t do anything. We will see what happens with them.
But the area is moving forward I´m excited about it, we are working hard, we are finding a lot of people to teach and I¨m really excited bout it all. We have a lot of great plans for Christmas for our members and such. We are going to try to do a 12 days of Christmas thing with the branch where we are picking a member of the ward everyday for 12 days and going to do service or something for them and we will see. Then we are going to plan a big branch activity and hopefully people come but we are going to make sugar cookies for Christmas and then take the youth and share a little Christmas message with totals and then give them a little plate of cookies and so we are really excited for that. We are going to have the women of the relief society do all the cooking with us and then the youth and the primary to cut them out and to decorate them with frosting and then the men to put them on the plates with a little Christmas poem and then we are all going to head out. We are excited about this activity and just hopefully that it works out and that people come so that we can do it and everything can work out well.
Oh dad you asked about the language, well it´s great actually. yo puedo hablar y todos pueden entender y este es la clave, si todos pueden entender todo está bien. Mi compañera neuva solamente tiene 3 o 4 meses mas de yo entonces ambas de nosotras estamos aprendiendo todovia pero todo esta bien, podemos ensenar con el espiritu y podemos tener conversaciones.
But yeah that was about my week, I got to ride for around 15 hours in a bus which 7 of those hours was in the middle of the night so that was fun and I was quite tired after wards but it was fun I guess. My feet were way swollen after wards but they went down by the next day. Oh and mom I got your package, THANKS!!!!!! I´m trying hard to resist to open the Christmas presents but at the same time I don´t know if it would be bad to do so because my companion doesn´t have anything to open Christmas morning and so I don´t want to make her feel bad by having Christmas and opening presents and her not having anything. But we will see. But yeah that is about it!!! Oh mom tell all the ward thanks for the support, I really feel the love from everyone!!! I got a letter from Tanya Yamauchi today that was a really nice surprise and then the Kraus Family is writing me and that is really nice. It is nice to have the support. Monday is our day to kind of chill out and feel love and to prep ourselves for the next week so it is great to feel so much love!!! Oh also mom with those talks and you copy and paste them to me because I can´t follow the links because it is outside the web pages that we can use so if you can copy and paste the actual words that would be great!!!
Well love you all!!!!
Hermana Hubbard
