Hey family! TRANSFERS. So hermana fowers left to my old stomping grounds! hellllooooo barrio 6!! I squealed when i heard. and my new companion...is....Hermana Caballero! Hey guess what. She´s spanish. Like Spanish-Spanish. She´s from Alicante, in the barcalona misión. And she doesn´t speak a lick of english. I´m actually quite nervous! Hahaa! It´s going to be a tough couple of weeks, not going to lie. She´s a TOUGH missionary! Like, she´s good. not a hard companion. I went on intercambios with her when i was in Madrid and she kicked my butt!! Hahaha it was great.

This week, we were working a lot with the less actives and we saw quite a bit of progression with them. We´re really hopeful that some of them will come back! We heard an apostle or Seventy say that if they aren´t Reading the book of mormon, then they aren´t progressing or like they aren´t going to come back active. si me explico...
We had Polo´s baptism yesterday! It went SO well and he was SO happy! He said he felt so clean afterwards. Everything went well and we had good support from the members. He came out of the wáter with this HUGE grin on his face and gave us the thumbs up! it was soooo cool.
We had a lot of success this week with our investigators...we´ve focused too much on them progressing our rate that we weren´t at all listening to what they needed. We really understood the quote that says, ´´Faith in the Lord means Faith in His Timing´´. It´s hard, but it´s so true! Unfortunetly, we´re finding out the hard way! Our way is NOT the Lord´s way sometimes!
It was really sad to say good bye to Hermana Fowers and the ward´s in mourning right now! But I know she´s going to do an amazing job in my old stomping grounds-Barrio 6!

Sorry family, i don´t have a lot of time! I love you!! Soooo much. thanks for your letters and your support. I pray for you. Thank you for your prayers.

Love

hermana smith
