Things are going pretty well here in California:) this week we had a zone conference with elder Dykes from the quorum of the seventy! It was really really uplifting! Many things were said that touched my heart, they talked allot about finding and using members:) me and my comp right now have worked a lot on finding this week, and I have definitely learned that it is very different to find here, but still good! Haha from what ive experienced so far they don't talk quite as much as Puerto Ricans and maybe arent as oersoanl and i just guess are more cautious:) its just getting used to a new culture:) but it's okay because I am very determined to learn new ways And know what I can say that will open their doors to us, haha it's a work in progress, I may be falling sometimes but I'm falling up!
This week there were also many language barriers... Haha not something I expected a lot of but there are many Chinese in my area and we also met someone who spoke Russian! I love the diversity but it is definitely different not knowing what language many speak and not being able to talk to them, but I am determined now to learn our church name in Mandarin:)
I am still learning a lot and the adjustment is still an adjustment:) The one thing that heavenly father continually blesses me with is a quiet assurance that it's all going to work out and that the people I love are receiving as much divine help as i am, I often think of peop,e in contacts who we shared a little of our message with and I truly pray they will remember us and the truths told. Sometimes in missionary work is easy to ask yourself if we are doing any good, maybe we could go a whole day and not one person could answer their door and we may ask well what was the purpose? I thought I was led to these houses and for sure thought at east one person would let us back? I believe the answer from heaven,y father would be yes, I needed you to talk to that person today, because that's one step closer to the day where they will open their door, or maybe when we share and give them a book of Mormon it was for times like these, when they may remember us and open the book. I just know with all my heart that this church true Something I have also learned from our new youth theme next year is that when there is no peace on earth there is peace in Christ, his love for us in incomprehensible. I love this gospel so so much!
Please keep Puerto Rico in our thoughts and prayers, I love them so much and they deserve all the love in the world they are so so special!!<3
I love you all so much, they you so much for your continuous love and prayers!!
Con mucho Amor, Hermana Zimmerman
