Katie's Mission Blog: September 25, 2024-September 30, 2024-Week 73-Loma Nueve

Hey! So here we go! Ok, this was the first week with my new (and last comp), Hermana Romero. She's from San Vicente, El Salvador. She's 19, and has 4 siblings, and worked before her mission. She's in her fourth transfer, and she had three beforehand in the area where I started (Guadalupe), so it's fun having so much in common and members that we love. Last transfer with Hermana Shirley, we covered all of Vista Alegre 1, now it is divided up and we are covering 1B. But it's kinda like a mini white wash because we didn't work too much in this side, so we asked a lot of references and met lots of new members, and just taught SO MANY new friends. But with the division, we have all of our baptismal dates and the better house, so who won?? I've been thinking a lot about this transfer, and how I need to make the most of it. I honestly thought Hermana Christensen and I would be Hermana leader and stuff like that, but what the Lord has truly taught me is HE IS A GOD OF MIRACLES. And being a God of miracles, He will ALWAYS give us miracles, but not always the miracles we wanted but the miracle we NEED. So, I am trying to note down why I needed this transfer, and with who, and with what assignment, and where. On a fun note, I lost my voice all of Friday, and have been a little sick for three weeks. But now I am getting better, so we are on the up and up! I have been reading the BOM all in English but with the lens of... 1) what would my life be like without the Book of Mormon? 2) what would I not know? 3) what would I not have? I think this has been the best way I have ever read the book of Mormon, and has helped me to understand the necessity of the BOM in my life. I know it. I how and why I can maintain my constant testimony that He lives.
