New Companion.

     Transfers!!!! I am still in La Mesa, but I have a new companion! Hermana Milla!! We were in the MTC together and it has been our dream since the beginning to be companions! The Lord hears and answers prayers, I know it! She is great! She is from North Carolina! She is so dedicated to this work. She has a strong Testimony and she's not afraid to be bold! We are going to work hard and have fun while doing it. I am slowly convincing her to come to school with me in Idaho, we'll see how that goes! Cheers to a new beginning. 
      Speaking of new beginnings I am happy to say that David, has decided to start his life over, have a new beginning and be baptized! David was baptized on Friday the 8th of August! We began teaching David in June, and I have been blessed to see him change, to grow, and truly build a relationship with the Savior. After his baptism we invited David to give his testimony. His testimony has been one of the most sincere testimonies I have heard. He expressed how thankful he was, how much he has learned, but the most touching was his reasoning behind getting baptized. He said he knew that he needed to change so that his son, named David, could have someone to turn to. A role model, an example, but most importantly a good father. He wants to give his son everything and he knows the importance of having God's help. He shared how he was looking for the truth, he wanted it, and how he has found it! He knows the church has been restored and that it brings blessings. 
      I ask myself, why can't all the people we teach have that desire like David does. We teach many people who like us, and like what we share but they don't ACT, and at times it is frustrating, I can't imagine how Heavenly Father feels. The only way I can help them is by teaching as best as I can, inviting them to change and be better, helping them see the blessings they can receive through this restored Gospel. 
I know that this Gospel is for EVERYONE. Yes, some people are more prepared, but God wouldn't make a plan that isn't for everyone. He loves everyone. 
Sometimes I get discouraged because our Investigators aren't progressing. Sometimes I get Lazy, which is really bad so I am trying to have a better attitude. 
Here is my favorite scripture of the week, something that I want to do everyday of my mission. 
D&C 123:17 Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.
