Some of my favorite things :)

hola!

i hope you all had an amazing week!

this email may be all over the place! but here are some of my FAVORITE things that happnened this week:D

we were able to teach our investigator christian about temples and it was so awesome! we talked about how it fits into the plan of salvationn and how he has anscestors waiting for him to do their work:) it was so funny, he said "sooo if i get baptized tomorrow, could i get a list of all of my anscestors back to adam and eve and baptize them? haha yes christian! he is awesome and i know he will get baptized when the time is right:D

we cleaned someones bathroom this week with just clorox and a broom!

we taught a sweet new investigator we have who has tons of questions, and we gave her tons of answers:)

we had a 2 hour lesson and only taught about prophets! haha its becuase sometimees when you get 2 boricuas together they can talkkkkkkk! it is so funnny, i love them<3

This week will be my last full week here on my mission in puerto rico;( super crazyyyy, but something i recently learned is that christ NEVER stops teaching us. everday i grow closer to christ as i learn more of him. sometimes its in my studies, sometiems its through my companion, members and investigators, but everday there is something i needed to learn, and everday as i learn more of him, the work becomes that much more important to me:) so my favorite thing that happneded this week was getting to know christ through the book of mormon, the atonemnent, and feeling the spirit testifying that these things are true;)

i am excited to share what i knwo is true this week, and i hope you all have a SUPERB semana:)

con MUCHO amor, Hermana Zimmerman:)

hola todos!

we had a great week this week! and here's why:)

one GREAT thing was zone conference! always a spiritual experience:) loved it so much!

another GREAT thing was we had a menos activo family come this week!! it is a mom with 2 kids who we have been teaching for awhile! we went over early in the morning to help them eat breakfast and things, got to church pretty late BUT THEY CAMEEEE!!

also we saw a sweet miracle this week as we found an investigator that we haven't been able to see in awhile! turns out she has tons of awesome questions and super golden! adn wanted to come to church! 

overall i just love puerto rico:) i love how my orange chicken i got at a chinese restaurant was made 80% by orange fanta, i love how me and hermana jorgensen went to a funeral this week and were the ONLY people not in black... we did not get that memo! haha also on the way back 2 members sang puerto rican christmas songs, it was the best thing ever! i want to learn them ALL! they were hilarious! 

haha overall it really was just GREAT:) haha because the mission is great, god is great, and puerto rico is great!:)

i hoep you all have an amazing week!! les quiero muchisimo:)

con mucho amor, Hermana Zimmerman:)

Un Otro Huracann??

hola todos!
I am writing today because there was another hurricane that came! but it was just really small and by the time it hit puerto rico it was just classified as a tropical storm:D so my zone decided to have a zone-olympics yesterday on the beach! haha it was kinda crazy:D

sorry i don't have a ton of time today! but i just wanted to share a sweet experiences that happened yesterday:) yesterday was when the big storm rolled in and it POURED! which made me so so happy becuase i loved being soaked! anyways so we went out a little early because we weren't able to email,  after 20 minutes it looked like we had just jumped into a pool! there weren't tons of people outside and our appointemtns fell through. but we thought of this sweet man who we found a couple weeks ago to stop by! his name is juan. he is a simple man who told us he recently lost fe in god. we stopped by and he was so shocked we were out in the rain and so worried we would get sick! he let us right in and gave us cake  and ice cream:) we talked to him for awhile and it was just a good sweet very simple lesson.  now you are probably wondering why this was my favorite experience ofo the week! it was because to me there is no greater joy, then sitting on a porch being soaking wet, hearing rain, with incredibly kind humble puerto ricans, testifying that jesus christ knows how they feel and have felt. i felt the spirit for sure:)  that is why i love the mission so much:)

i hit my 17 meses in the mission, and i wish i never had to leave:) but i will do all i can this last month:)

i love you all so much!! and so does god:)

con mucho amor, Hermana Zimmerman;)

la semana lleno de milagritos!

Hola todos!

we had a fantastic week here in yauco! here are 3 stories of my favorite parts:)

1. milagro con christian! this is our investigator who we have been working with a few months now, he is super cool and young and has tonssss of deep questions! but these last two weeks we have hardly had any contact with them, so we definitely thought he was dropping usss.... BUT yesterday was fast sunday, and we ofcourse had him be a part of our fast, and HE CAME TO CHURCH!! we were so surprised and happy!

2. the second huge miracle was with a member who was less active, she was one of the first people we metwhen we came back to puerto rico, she has been coming to chruch everyweek now and we have become amazing friends! she was able to go to SOY (latino efy) this week and she came back and was so excited to tell us that she recieved and answer that she needed to serve a mission!!!! i was soooo happppy! she opened them yesterday and already has them basically all done:)  she is the best!:D she is also the one who bought us pizza with doritos on it so..... blessings:) hhaha i lvoe her so much!!

3. the familia:) last week we were able to find the sweetest family! they have one sweet son who is 8 and autistic:) they aren't currently attending a chruch and were happy to let us come bsck! we came back for the return appointment and they were there and made us dinner! we were able to teach the plan of salvation and they lvoed it and it answered a lot of their questions they had had!  they are just the sweetest tender mercy:)

overall it was a great week! we were able to see a super sweet less active and clean her house with the relief society:D woot! we have been trying to find service for awhile so we were so happy! it was so fun and the member is going to have a little baby girl soon!

big news from yauco!
