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!!

FELIZ NAVIDAD!!
merry christmas everyone!!
we had a good week this week. on thursday there were some girls from utah here volunteering in a daycare. they are members and they saw us in the street and said.. sisters!! so we talked to them and invited them to do some visits with us. We split up and the two i went with were so amazing!! they didnt speak spanish but they shared there testimonies in english with an investigator and the spirit was so strong. It was just evidence that the Spirit speaks every language. It was a good day!
Saturday we did a service project as a zone. We painted a school. It was really fun. Service is always fun!! Look for ways to serve. I promise that if we arent focused on ourselves we will always be happy!!!
I have been seeing a lot of Catholic traditions in these days. Lots of posadas. They walk in the street carrying statues of the virgin Maria and other things. It is interesting and cool to see the culture. But then after we just want to teach them the restored gospel! haha. But it is interesting. Other peoples beliefs and culture. I have always loved and will always love learning about it.
Have an amazing Christmas!! remember the reason for the season and that wise men still seek him!!

la navidad viene ya.
hey!!! this is a month of miracles. Seriously. We had a baptism on Sunday. His name is Victor Manuel Efrain. He is 15 and is so awesome!! He has had such a hard life but decided to get baptized. I could just see the light of Christ shining through him at his baptism. He was so happy. So happy. I love seeing the changes people make in their lives and how it changes them forever.
I cant believe Christmas is so soon. Make it a good Christmas! Focus on Jesus Christ and how we can come closer to him in the year 2016. Start thinking of goals now and this next year will be the best one yet. I cant believe that I left to come on my mission almost a year ago. It seems like yesterday!! I love the mission with all my heart. If you are contemplating on going on a mission or not... GO. It is the most beautiful wonderful experience you will ever have in your life. But it flies by. I am making every moment of the time I have left here.
i love you all!!

Woo Hoo
Christmas is so soon!! This is the time to remember Christ and decide to change. Decide to change through him and his atonement and become better. I want to share a poem that I found in a liahona that I love!! About Christ and His Atonement.
HIS PERFECT ATONEMENT.
I used to believe
That there was a hole
In Christs Atonement
That He could save everyone
Except me.
But i was wrong.
There is not one hole,
But seven.
Two holes in
His Hands
Where they nailed Him
To a cross
At the behest of those
He would die
To save,
Two holes in
His wrists
Where they ensured
The weight of His body
Would not cause
His hands
To rip through.
Before His penance
Was complete,
Two holes in
His feet
Where He stood
As a witness to all
Of God´s unyielding love
For each
Of His children,
And on hole in
His side
Where they pierced Him
To prove His work
Was done.
Seven.
Perfection.
Seven perfect holes
In earth´s only
Perfect Man.
The perfect Atonement
To patch the holes in our lives.
His holes make us
Whole.
I was wrong.
There is a
Whole
In Christ´s Atonement
For me
After all.
Chirst knows us. And loves us. He will always always help us and heal us and make us whole. I know that He lives. That through him we can become whole. But we have to decide to make His Atonement personal. Is the Atonement personal for you? If not, what do you have to do to make it personal?
I love you all!! Have a good week!!
