Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hola!

We got the new Nashville Tribute Redeemer CD – it is the best! We have been jamming out to it all week and we would highly recommend it. Love it!


Liberal, KS is the only town in the United States that celebrates Pancake Day. The official day is February 17th and it is so big here that they don't even go to school. Crazy, huh? The celebration lasts a couple of days and they have pancake eating contests, races, parades, and the whole nine yards. The day has something to do with England. We missed out on the majority of the events because we were doing other things (like missionary work) but it sounded like it was a lot of fun!

Hesta got baptized by the Elders this week! She has 3 of the cutest little girls and a husband. She is from Africa and she is so talented. She is the one who put cornrows in the Elder’s hair for P-Day. Her baptism was amazing and she was so excited! We would get calls or texts from her really early in the morning about something that she had read in The Book of Mormon. It was so neat to be able to help her at her baptism. I had the opportunity to give a talk on baptism and then help her with the baptismal clothes and all that Jazz. As soon as she was baptized and was getting ready in the bathroom, she looked at me and said, “I am now officially a Mormon” and she had the biggest smile on her face. It was so awesome! Words can't describe how happy I was for her. That night she came over and ate at the Bishop’s house and she was still just beaming (gotta love the Spirit). Her daughter is planning on being baptized in a couple of weeks. Hesta is an amazing missionary and she has already introduced the gospel to so many people.

Transfers! Sister Delos Santos (current companion) and Sister Valdivia (former companion) are both going to be Sister Training Leaders (STL’s) now and I am so proud of them. I am staying here in Liberal – yay! My new companion is going to be Sister Webb – straight from the Mexico MTC. All I know about her is that she is from Bluffdale, UT. I can’t wait to meet her and I am so excited for this transfer! The Lord has a lot in store for Liberal!
