Well,
we had transfers. Again. Every 6 weeks pass by in 7 seconds. It just
blows my mind. But I am here with my new companion, Hermana Lopez, also
from Argentina! I love los Argentinos. They´re honestly the best. About
10 months ago, I met Hermana Lopez. She was in Cieneguilla for a little
bit of the time that I was there, and we became good friends. We said
that we hoped to be companions one day, and look at that! Funny how
things work out. She also finishes her mission in January. Crazy, right?
We´re
doing really well, happy as always and lovin´ the work of Salvation!
Even though I love Hermana Lopez,it was really hard for me to say
goodbye to my other companion, Hermana Tacconi. We came to be best buds,
and I actually cried quite a bit when we said goodbye. But it´s not
goodbye...just a "see you later."
Hermana Lopez
and I, along with some other sisters, have an interesting assignment
this transfer. We´re working with Family History in a few stakes,
helping the members to look up the ancestors to be able to do the temple
work for them. That´s a huge part of what we believe in the
church...the importance of doing our ordinances, then doing them for the
people who weren´t able to do it themselves, giving them the opportunity
to accept the gospel as well. It´s something that I´ve always wanted to
learn more about - Family History. And here I am, learning all about
it! It´s so cool. And this week, we just happened to go to the temple
TWICE! It was so awesome! We went as a mission, then Hermana Lopez and I
went to see a young couple from Cieneguilla get sealed. When we go to
the temple, it´s not like going to the church on Sunday.
When we say "sealed", it means that they are going to be together
forever. It´s part of the plan that God created for us, to live in
eternal families. I know that mom knows all about it, but dad and
Daniel, it´s something very special and important. I attached some
pictures so that you can see! On Saturday, we also got to see a few other members from Cieneguilla. It was so great. We were both so excited.
Sorry,
my brain is filled with lots of things. I will write a better letter
next week, but I just want you to know that we are super happy! Working
hard and getting tan/sunburned. I love you so much!! Have a great week!!
All my love,
Hermana Scott
