Gotta Love Spanglish!

My Zone!

Hola!

I actually use a lot more Spanish here than I did in Lamar so it has been awesome! The best part is that a lot of the people know a little bit of English – so most of it is Spanglish – but I love it! It feels so good to speak Spanglish and to see the “Gift of Tongues” at work!

Last week, we had a multi-zone P-Day in Garden City and it was so much fun! Not going to lie – our district dominated in all of the sports! We played soccer, volleyball, steal the flag, and other random games. The Liberal District is the best!

The Elders in our district had to go to Wichita for a meeting and that same day Sister Delos Santos got really sick. She really wanted a blessing but all of the Elders in our area were gone. When the Elders got back, she received a blessing and her sickness was gone instantly! So, we got to work the rest of the day – the Priesthood is wonderful!

We had Zone Conference this week and I had to give my first Zone Conference training – ahh! I still feel like a brand new missionary – it is all flying by so fast. The training was “Building faith in Jesus Christ by expecting and seeing miracles.”

So, another miracle of the Priesthood! April had a mass in her body and was needing surgery to get it removed. The Elders gave her a Priesthood blessing and it was gone in a week! Who needs surgery when there is the Priesthood!? April's faith is remarkable. She came to church yesterday with 4 of her grandchildren and all of them absolutely loved it. That night, she came over to the Bishop's house for dinner. Sister Willis (bishop's wife) answered a lot of motherly questions that April had. April was just beaming after dinner and you could tell that she definitely felt the Spirit in their home. Her baptism is February 28th!

Last night – we knew there was another family that we could find – but we only had 30 minutes until curfew. So, we said a quick prayer, and decided to visit Isabel and Paije (investigators). We went over to their place and they were having a birthday party for their mom so their whole family was there! They were so welcoming! We instantly felt like we were a part of their family. They fed us cake and dished up a plate of food (second dinner) – gotta love it! They all gathered around and we shared our testimonies about The Book of Mormon and they loved it! We are meeting with them again this week. Gotta love the last minute miracles! Endure to the End!

Fun Fact…
Jared Nieman (country artist) grew up here in Liberal, KS. He is coming back to do a concert next month. Whoot, whoot! Goal for the Liberal District: Find his house and teach his parents (if they still live here) or whoever lives there now. They do have his picture at the local high school. Great people grow up in Kansas!
