Hola everyone! This week has flown by but so much has happened. On Sunday, our awesome choir director gave the devotional and it was sooo good.
On Monday, I had to say goodbye to my sister training leaders and some other awesome people that I became friends with. It was a little sad, but mostly exciting because I know all of them are going to go all over the world and help so many people.
On Tuesday, President Nelson gave our devotional! The main message from his devotional that stood out to me was, with God, nothing is impossible. What an amazing thought! It has been my motto for most of my mission so far because of the bracelet that one of my mom’s awesome friends gave me, which has Philippians 4:13 on it. But, it was really cool to hear that message reinforced by the President of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles, because he has such a powerful testimony that that statement is true.
I’m still loving teaching in a new language and seeing how God is blessing me to have that ability. I cannot wait until I get to teach actual investigators and see the gospel transform and light up their lives as it has done for me.
Alongside getting to share my testimony in a new language, I’ve also had many opportunities to share it through music. I was able to perform a piano solo on Wednesday for the new missionary welcome meeting, and it went really well! On Monday, I’m doing another performance. This time I’ll be accompanying my district leader, Elder Smith, and we’re going to play for the senior missionary welcome meeting. I also was asked to be the music coordinator in my branch on Sundays, and I am so happy that I am able to continue using my musical abilities on my mission.
I am excited to see Bradley Cluff here on this upcoming Wednesday! I am constantly running into people I know here, because the Mormon world is a small world, but it will be nice to have one more familiar face at the MTC.
Also, one last exciting thing! I found out that my mission is probably going to be able to reopen in January! I am sooo happy! I still don’t know where I’ll be reassigned before I go there, but I’m not really worried because everything is in the Lord’s hands, and I’ll only be there for a short time anyway.
As always, thank you for supporting me and praying for me. I am so privileged to be here and to be a full-time missionary for the next year and a half. I am happy, and working my hardest so that I can be worthy to have the Spirit to help me teach those I will serve.
Hasta la proxima semana!
Love,
Hermana O’Barr
