Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!!!

Dear Family,

Hey I have got some news for you: La hermana Beardall tiene cambios. Su nueva area es...

LEÓN!!

yes, i have cambios and i am going to león tomorrow in the morning. 

please forgive my horrible grammar but the shift bar on this computer doesn't work very well. please bare with me!

i had beautiful experiences this week. sad but many happy experiences. 

wednesday we had a fhe with a and his wife. we invited members f. and l. s.  to join us as well. we talked about the law of chastity and the blessings of this commandment. the spirit was so strong and at the end we invited them to put a goal of a date to get married (oh by the way, they aren't married).  they told us that they want to wait until they are more financially stable before they get married so they can have a fiesta. we are working with them so they can understand the importance of the promise with god before the importance of a fiesta. 

we have another investigador named l who wow. really understands the importance of baptism. she is beginning to gain a really strong testimony of the gospel and reads everything we give her and all of the homework assignments the church gives her husband (her husband is working with a church program where they give him reading assignments). there are a lot of family issues that we have to work out but with time i know that she will be ready to be baptized with a very very strong testimony!

saturday it rained like no other. we got so wet i didn't think it was possible to get dry again. i have pictures but hey, que creen? because these computers are a little ancient (they remind me of my reader rabbit days) i am not sure if i will be able to send you pictures. i will try my hardest.

beautiful beautiful domingo. let me tell you about beautiful beautiful domingo: for the first time in three cambios (4 1/2 months) g, an investigador and my english student came to church for the first time. it was a lot of work to get her there but hey, she came. i was soooooo happy i began to cry. i didn't actually see her there because she came in at a different time than us but she sat with the former relief society president hermana l. d. and left her a note- half in spanish the other half in english. i was so so sooooo happy to know that she came even if she couldn't stay for the whole block. even though i didn't see her there in the church, i know that she was there. really you have know idea how happy i was and still am!

i am beginning to understand why god wanted me here in mexico, learning spanish, preaching the gospel. it is a blessing beyond belief and i know that it is a blessing from my heavenly father. at times i get frustrated with customs or the language but i am learning so much more than i knew i was capable of learning and it is all because god knows me better than i know my self.

as you begin a new year of school, don't forget your heavenly father loves you and knows your potential. he knows how capable you are of learning and is going to be by your side siempre especially in school. always remember honesty and diligent studies and i know you will see god's hands helping you learn especially in moments of difficulty. i am praying for all of you this week as you begin a new step of your lives and hope all starts well!

hey, speaking of studying, don't forget to study the scriptures too, okay? there are treasures inside waiting for you to find them.

love y'all! 

ill write y'all when i am in León.

con mucho amor,

hermana beardall
