So
this week was one of the craziest & best weeks ever! We had 3
exchanges this week so it felt like I didn't even see Sister Bergstrom
at all.

Monday
night we had a lesson set up with our investigator, P. We
knocked on the door & a lady came to the door, (for the record, I've
never met P) & we started talking to her like she was
P & when we asked if we could come in she said "I think
you're looking for my sister" hahaha yeah, that wasn't P, it was
R. But we started talking about the gospel & asked if she'd
be interested in learning more & she said yes! It was really a
tender mercy that we didn't recognize it wasn't P at first,
because then we were able to share the gospel with her. Sometimes
awkward things pay off. So we picked up R & her 11yo
daughter H as new investigators!
Tuesday
we had a great zone meeting! Sister Bergstrom & I gave a training
on visualizing what you learn. We had all of the missionaries draw their
favorite scripture story! It was fun.
Wednesday
we went on exchanges with the La Mesa Hermanas. I stayed in my area
with Hmna Landen & we saw so many miracles!!! The day started out
pretty slow & I was worried it was going to be like that all day,
but then I started praying & having faith that good things will
happen as long as I'm aligning my will with Heavenly Father's. We met
J, who was a YSA potential who's interested in learning more! After
that we had a lesson with our 15yo investigator, E. We taught her
the restoration & it went soooo well. The spirit was felt so strong
& she recognized it! Then we went to try more potentials & met
C, who wants to learn more & J, who wants to know what he can do
to stand on the Lord's side at His second coming... "who's on the
Lord's side who?" ;) So in total we found 3 new investigators on Wednesday!
Thursday we went on exchanges with the Santa Fe sisters. So yes, back to back exchanges is CRAZY! I missed my comp :( While
I was in Hesperia, Sisters Bergstrom & Alder had a BOMB day
contacting at VVC. & they taught S, who is now an investigator
in YSA.
Friday
we luckily did not have exchanges! We had a good day of weekly
planning, going to appointments that were cancelled & more
planning.
Saturday
we went on another exchange with the Mesa Linda sisters. While in their
area, Sisters Bergstrom & Thomason found 2 new investigators,
A & P (bro & sis) :)
Sunday we had a regional stake conference broadcast! It was super good!
We
had Valentine's dinner with the Schulthess', aka the last dinner with
Wolfgang home, or should I say, Elder Schulthess. He goes into the MTC
this Wednesday. It was pretty fun answering a ton of questions about the
MTC & the field.
Sister
Bergstrom & I have just been in awe lately with the bounteous
blessings the Lord has been giving us! We've been blessed with so many
people to teach. The work in our areas is booming! As of now, we have 15
investigators in MN & 3 in YSA. Now the challenge is to get them
all progressing! I'm so excited to see what else the Lord has in store
for us & the people he's entrusted to our care. This is the best
thing ever! Being a missionary is the greatest thing I could be doing. I
LOVE IT.
love you all.
Sister Viraldo
