welp... im pregnant.

Yep. I'm pregnant. hahaha. with child! let me explain a little bit.. hahah.
On the mission, our trainers are our parents. the people getting trained are kids. and i received the call that I will be training a new missionary this change.... Changes are tomorrow so I will meet mi hija tomorrow! I am not going to lie. I am a little nervous. But there is a line from the Joseph Smith movie that I love that is something like... The Lord calls us in our weakness but qualifies us for the work. I know that I am going to learn a lot this next change. I am excited to change and grow even more through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Training will be difficult but I know that I can do it only with the help of my Savior.

I love the people here in San Lucas Toliman. There is one family that is so awesome. They live pretty high up in the mountains in a little town called San Andres. One of the kids is named Felix and he is 6 years old. He is so funny and so awesome. Everytime we go visit them he leaves running to go invite one of his friends or some of the kids in the neighborhood. one of the times we visited them this week he was like... I am going to go invite someone. We waited and were expecting him to bring one of the kids that he always brings. Well he returned with a lady that leaves in the same street! Hahahah. It was so awesome!!! We really do have to be like little kids in so many ways. He has no fear. He always says that the church is true and he cant wait to get baptized. He just wants everyone to hear the message and go to church too and I love it!! I love what we can learn from los niƱos.

I love you all so much! Remember to never be afraid to share the gospel with others. Share through your example and invite them to listen to the missionaries or read the book of mormon. Share your testimony with them!! I promise that you will feel so much joy!!

I love you all!

Love,
Hermana Dibb

Wohoo

I just wanted to share one of my favorite book of mormon stories with you! Well I want you all to read it. The story of Alma the younger. Read Alma chapter 36. I love the verse in the moment that Alma remembers Jesus Christ. And in that moment is when everything changes. We too can all have Alma moments in our lives. I know that through Jesus Christ we can change from being the worst people in the world to the best people in the world. I am so grateful for my Savior and His atonement. I am grateful to see the miracles that he continues to work in these latter days. For the changes people have made in their lives thanks to Him.

How have you seen the hand of the Lord in your life today? Everyday we need to take a minute to think about this and answer it. Because everyday Christ is doing things for us. We should recognize His hand in our lives everyday. And then we should thank Him.

I love you all so much and hope all is well! Have a wonderful week and think about times in your life that you have applied the atonement to be a better person. Then think about what you can do to apply the atonement even more, everyday.

I love you all so much!

Love,
Hermana Dibb
