"Full-Pros"

      I got transferred, saying goodbye to the people from my last area was the hardest thing ever! I felt like I cried a river, no lie! But it was okay, I know that Heavenly Father will continue to help them. I am now in Wonderland! (we call it that because anything can happen in our area) I am serving in a YSA ward in Chula Vista, even closer to the Boarder of Mexico! People from here go to Tijuana just to get tacos! Crazy huh! That also means that I am now an English sister! So I dusted off my English scriptures! It is definitely different from Spanish work but I do like serving with the Young Single Adults, I can really relate to them!
      This area is also one of the biggest areas I've served in! We cover the whole stake! We don't have many investigators yet, but we do visit a lot of Less Active members, there are lots. We do have an investigator named Yuset and we invited her to be baptized on Feb 14th! She came to church and liked it! Ysa has lots of activities, FHE, Institute, movie night, dances, etc...We get to go to most of them so it's pretty fun. 
      My new companion is Sister SEO! She is from Korea, and sadly she doesn't know how to make Korean BBQ, but I still love her! She is really funny and her favorite words are Anyways and Holy Cow!!! She's been on her mission for 5 months, and she already knows English really well! She also introduced me to this Korean snack that basically look like Cheetos puffs, but instead they are chocolate flavored! I love them! 
Now I am "Full-Pros", that means for 3 months I will not be serving in the Mormon Battalion Historic Site. It's a little hard because you get used to being around other missionaries and meeting lots of people at the museum but I really like being full pros because that means we get to study a lot more! I am learning a lot, and I get more time to really study for investigators! Recently I've been reading in 2 Nephi 14-20. These Chapters quote Isaiah in the Old Testament. Isaiah is known for being kind of hard to understand but I came across a couple of scriptures that I really liked. Several times throughout a couple of Chapters it says "For all this his anger is not turned away but his hand is still stretched out" I think that this scripture really shows Gods mercy. Sometimes we make the same mistakes, over and over again, but because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can receive that forgiveness and keep moving forward. My favorite part of the scripture is that it says "his hand is still stretched out" and it will always be stretched out. We can always turn to the Lord for strength and he will provide it because he loves us! 
I hope you all have a good week!
