HOLA!!!FELIZ ANO NUEVO!!!! WOOP WOOP. We are going to finish off this year strong with 3 baptisms today! We are super excited. It’s my comps first baptism in her mission so she is super stoked. 5 more hours… How great is it on the day that my nephew is going to be sealed to my family I am able to participate in helping 3 more people receive the blessings of life eternal! Oh happy day ;) Just got another email from Daddio saying they just left the Temple and Gavin is going to receive a name and a blessing, FA!!! Gal, this day couldn’t be better. It was really wonderful to talk to everyone, even though it was only 2 min each, but it was worth it just to hear every ones voices. Yesterday I had the opportunity to teach two districts at our district reunion. I got the call from our Zone leaders the night before asking me to do it. I of course said yes because I love to teach but immediately felt nervous that I would have to stand in front of members of the church, whom most speak Spanish better then me and teach them how they can be better missionaries. Ahh. That morning we listen to Brother Bythyway while doing our usual workouts and felt inspired to talk about rising above, living the higher law and putting our desires aside. I tried preparing but nothing really profound was coming to mind but I knew that they Lord would direct my words as I relied on him. And he did, it went well, I think. My comp told me I am the next Sherri Dew but married, haha! (Fa, I would love to be the next Sherri Dew and of course I hope I am married ;) But I have learned on the mission that it really doesn’t matter how much you know, or how well you speak what matters is if you turn yourself over to the Lord and let him do the teaching through you. And then he teaches you. I reminded myself of the importance of letting go of my desires, my passions, and my wants for this time that I have to devote to the Lord and serve. But not only for now, there are a few things that I still need to give up for after the mission so that I can continue to be an instrument in the hands of God. I love this work, I love my life. If there are people who still doubt just take a look at my family and the wondferful blessings we continue to receive. Its incredible!!!I love you all! Keep the Faith!Hna Redfern
Well i hope that everyone had a great Christmas this year, and that we all remembered the real reason we are celebrating it, Christ. What a blessing it is to get together with the family and share the holidays together, and i hope that you all took advantage of that this year. Appreciate and love the time you have with your fam, it is really a true blessing. It was great to be able to talk to my parents all of my brothers and sisters, and sisters in law, and my nephews! Although i didnt get to talk to Whitney, but i assume she was talking to her brother in the mission. I loved how tyson told me they were talking gavin to the temple!! oh how amazing. This week will also be something so especial. Here in Poza Rica everything is great, just working on finding more people to teach. I love being a missionary. Verdad que si elder sanchez? its just so amazing. I got Brookes cd and my sister in law has got talent!! whooP! even though Christmas already passed, i have only christmas music so ni modo. I hope everyone has a great new year(campanita) and that we can start off this year and make it a year of taking steps. If we havent gone to the temple, lets go, if we have, lets go more, if we pay 8 percent of Tithing, lets pay the ten. If we watch tv on sundays, lets not. If we we sometimes fast, lets do it AT LEAST once a month. The small and simple things arent really so small, but they are simple. God takes the small and simple and makes them great. Let this year be a year of change,. But for the better. I love you all soo much, have a great week!
