Hola!
So Im still in LA, I didn't change, I am just training now and I already love my hija:) She is awesome! Her name is Hermana Hawkins, and she is from Texas. She is adorable! And knows no spanish....which is alright because neither did I! ha This is definately going to be a challenge, because both of us are going to have to rely on my spanish (poor thing) but the Lord must really trust me! She just came from the Mexico MTC too so we already have a lot in common! ha Im just trying my best to get her super excited about this awesome work!
So this week we planned a ward activity "Show de Talentos" and it went great! We were really worried that no one would show up, but they did, and they all had a ton of talents to share! They went all out. We as the missionaries planned a little skit about the "day in the life of a missionary" which ended with me having food and makeup all over my face because I couldn't use my arms, and my comp. did everything for me behind my back. But the ward members all came with awesome acts. One of the Young Men even brought his band, it was pretty sweet!
I just want to say that I have literally seen a miracle in this past week. I have been blessed with the gift of tongues. I can't explain it, only that I know that the Lord has been with me ever since I had my little freak out last week when I found out I would be training! I have been able to understand just about every conversation I have been in. My spanish is miles ahead then what it was just last week. Without any doubt in my mind, I have been blessed. I just want to thank you all for your prayers. I have felt them all! I'm not fluent or any where close to it yet. But I have improved a TON, and I know that it has just been a stright gift from God. I just want to bare my testimony that I know that God does not give us any task that he isn't going to prepare a way to accomplish them. Just. Have. Faith. Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith. As scared as I am right now, to be responsible to help my hija into this missionary world, I am so comforted with the fact that I know who I worship. I know who is backing me up right now. And with Him, I can do all things. I am no confident in myself or in my abilities. But I am confident in my God. (Alma 26:12) Im excited for this opportunity to show what I'm made of:) I know that I am probably going to make a lot of mistakes, but thats why I have the atonement! Im excited to show Hermana Hawkins how awesome and beautiful this work is! I am so proud to be a missionary, and honored to share it with the people here in Chile!
I hope you all have an amazing week! Thank you for everything! I pray for you all!
Con amor,
Hermana Lamb
