He is the details

Hello!! 

We had a good week here in Barreiro! I have a new companion, Sister Bleyl! She is from Scotland and its been a good first week together!! You know, including running away from dogs together because we both hate them, so you know its going to be a good transfer haha 

We had a conference with President Owens, general Young Men’s President, and Elder Durrant, Counselor in the Sunday School Presidency. It was a really good conference. They talked a lot about the need to try even harder when things get difficult, and not get discouraged and give up. Fight the good fight until the very end. It was the perfect reminder and the best way to start off a new transfer! 

I got my trunky call this week. It was like 9:45 pm and the office elders called and I was like what the heck do they want?? And I answer it, and it’s an elder that I arrived with here in the field and he was like "So I am talking to Sister Jones, right? "Yes" "Perfect, that’s exactly who I need to talk to. We have some news for you. Are you sitting down because its exciting news.." "Umm.. What is it?" *cue heart attack that something bad happened to my family or something like that* "Well, we have been notified that YOURE GOING HOME!!!" and then started playing music that talked about home. I was like oh man are you serious?? Haha it was basically them planning my plane flight home so they needed all my information. My plane will take off on January 30th. So yep, that happened. 

I don’t have any pictures because last week this computer place deleted ALL of my pictures. I was SO sad. The thing is, almost all of my pictures are on that Google drive or on my email, but still. I was SO sad. So yeah, next week I will send pictures from the chapel before email. Sorry!! 

I have been studying the talk "By Devine Design" by Elder Rasband with my family this week. He has a quote that I really like that says:

"When we are righteous, willing, and able, when we are striving to be worthy and qualified, we progress to places we never imagined and become part of Heavenly Fathers Devine Design"

I love this quote because it doesn’t say, if you are perfect at everything and have time and the talents Heavenly Father with use you. It is saying that if you are striving and willing, and with the desire, Heavenly Father will use you. And there is NOTHING better than being on the Lord´s errand. My favorite part here in the mission is being the answer to people’s prayers, and also seeing how my prayers are answered through other people. 

Lets all try to be a little more sensitive to the spirit and follow the FIRST prompting this week. 

Have a great week!! Love you guys!!
