okay this week was super awesome adn super crazy! first of all now i am in a new area but still living in the same house! haha so cabo rojo is split into 2 areas so i have jsut been transferred from one side to the other! also its crazy becuase now everyday we have to walk about 30 min to our area before we can really start proselyting but ill talk more about that later!
okay so first my new companion is named Hermana Thelin! she is from herriman and is super cute adn funny! She is also only 1 transfer ahead of me so the fact that they put two greenies together white was pretty crazy for us but its all good becuase her spanish is perfect and mien is coming poco a poco! But anyways so now i was also transfered into a different ward which honestly was the hardest thing for me, i LOVE my first ward SO much, they really will forever have a place in my heart adn luckily i do get to see them on sunday in between hours! But also before i talk about my new area i just want to talk about my sweet recent convert Yvette who was baptized last week, we went and visited her last monday before transfers adn it was just one of the best days ever to see how she has changed. not in huge dramatic ways but she honestly is jsut so incredibly happy! she told us that when she was baptized when her head went under she opened her eyes for a second adn thought to herself wowo this is how Jesus was baptized and she said that she felt everything bad go away and when she came up she was just glowing! sghe gave us a big hug adn just said "I did it!" and she really is just so incredibly happy which just makes me so so incredibly happy! It was one of the moments adn memories that i will never forget from my first area adn i am very grateful that i still get to visit with thenm on sunday! anyways so yes i lvoe Cabo Rojo so much adn now we are starting over in another area adn we are excited to find more people!
So about my new area now it is one the coast so i get to be by the ocean! i love it so much there are almost just like a fisherman town adn it is very different that my first area even though its so close to it! It is also very humble in some areas and so we are really grateful that we get to serve here!
In this area we also do a lot alot more walking, haha its crazy i feel like i am training for a marathon but we have seena lot of miracles as random people have given us rides as they see us walking, haah they arej ust like you're crazy! adn we are like yeah pretty much! Also we saw a miracle while contacting! We were just walkign around and this man stopped us and just said mormons?? and we were like yeah! adn it turns out he was baptized about two years ago and his wife is also a member but very sick adn she lvoes when missionaries visit adn so he brings us to his humble hoem and tells us to go into her room to surprise her and i will never forget the look of pure joy on sweet rosas face! she was so excited to see us and we just talked for awhiel and they shared stories adn it was so much fun, adn for me it really showed me a little about what really matters most, they have such a love for this gospel adn such strong testimonies, it really is their world and really it shoudl be for us all, but just to sit and talk with her gave me a lot of perspective adn we are goin gto visit her again and so i am very excited for that:D
anyways so Im hoping this made sense! overall i am just having a big advernture! this area is really crazy and i have never stepped on more dead iguanas in my life which is like half terrifying and also just really funny, wE are just having so many new experiences and it is just super awesome! okay wait one mroe story so we were in a really far area in our area adn it had been a long day and we were so lost! but then this sweet lady came and ran to us sayign that she was in our ward and asked if we wanted some pinchos! so we got the most amazing pinchos right on the dock and then we ate them infrom of this intersting pharmacy shaped as a castle as we bandaged oru feet for the walk back because blisters are so real! haha anyways so yes we are having so much fun here and are excited to really rely on our Heavenly Father to guide us to where we should go in our new area! have a wonderful week!!
les amo un monton!!
con mucho amor, Hermana Zimmerman:)
