The Work is Good

All,

This week I got really sick.  The Bishop in my ward gave me a blessing and in it he said... your family and parents are praying for you, and God hears and answers the prayers of parents.  I believe it. I know it is true. Thank you for helping me. Thank you for praying for me.

The work is good. A little bit stressful but good. I love it. Divisions have changed a lot but they are good. Now the sisters only come to our area and work here. Because of this I believe we are going to see more success because we are not going to be out of the area very much.

We found out today that leaders are going to stop being leaders when they only have 2 transfers left and are going to train. My companion after this change will train and then after one more change I will train. The apostles and general mission comittee are changing so much to hasten the work. We believe in  revelation and just follow it even if we don't really understand or comprehend why.

I love you all...  Have a good week!!

Another Good Week

Hey!! this week we saw miracles.

On Sunday Hermano Jose got baptized. It was so amazing because we found him as we were knocking doors. In the first visit we challened him to get baptized on January 10th. And he got baptized on January 10th. I love seeing people change their lives through Jesus Christ and His gospel. The mission is the best!!

My companion and I really get along and are enjoying the work. We are focusing on giving God our all here in the mission. Sometimes hard things happen, but I have never been so happy. Even when people reject us super rudely and say rude things to us it doesnt even matter. Because we are not ashamed of our Savior Jesus Christ. We represent Him. I have never been so happy in my life. As I testify of my Savior everyday, I feel joy that i have never felt before.

Love,
Hermana Dibb

heyyyy.

Happy New Year!! What did you guys do?? I slept!!

We have an awesome investigator named Jose. He is 70 and is a widower ( not sure if that is the right word. his wife died?) We found him knocking doors like 3 weeks ago and the first Sunday after our first visit, he went to church. He is a miracle. So willing to do what God wants him to do!! He is so special and will get baptized this week!!

Also I had a cool experience. We were looking for a family we had talked to in the street. We hiked up a whole street that was literally like a mountain because the direction was at the top. We found their house and they didnt answer. We decided to knock two more doors at the very top. No one answered. There was a little pathway that led up into the mountains. Just like a hiking trail. You couldnt see anything, just trees. I said to my companion... "I feel like there is a house up there" and she said "no! hahaha. The people are going to think we are going to rob them" because their was a huge house next to the path that we had already knocked at. But I felt like there was house. So I started hiking. And my comp followed. Well turns out there was a house. And we knocked and dogs came running out to attack us. Then a man left the house to come talk to us. He was the man from the family we had contacted and were looking for in the first place.

The spirit guides us. We have to be ready and willing to listen. 1 Nephi 4: 6-7. always listen to the spirit. Act on the impressions that you receive from the spirit.

I love you all!!
