Family and Friends:
Hola! Como esta?! I am loving the MTC!
I have learned & experienced so much here!
I know I still have lots more to learn though, especially when it comes to the language.
I only have 2 1/2 weeks left in the MTC then they will be shipping me off to Arizona!
I can't wait to get there but it will be really hard to leave all my new friends behind.
My first group of friends were a bunch of Elders in my Zone. They went to Malaga, Spain.
The other district in my Zone is also full of just Elders that leave a week before I do and they are all going to Chile. I think I'll miss them the most, except for my district.
Three Elders and my two companions are going to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Another Elder (he's Hawaiian) is going to Jackson, Mississippi. Then there is only one Elder that is going to Phoenix with me.
My Zone has 3 other districts. We are the biggest zone in the MTC I think!
My companions are Hermana Hong and Hermana Geest. We are very diverse, haha. Hermana Hong
is of Chinese descent and Hermana Geest is of German descent. And of course I am of Irish, Fench and Spanish descent! We are all different but we get along really well....for the most part! HAHA.
It hard not having your independence but the experiences you gain here make it so worth it!
So we have a progressing investigator, her name is Alice. She lives in Brazil but her Mormon friend lives in the states.
She asked us to come by because she wants to know why her friend is so happy and seems to have direction in her life. It has been some what of a struggle teaching her because she wasn't very open until
last Thursday when we taught her. We read Mosiah 4 together and she really enjoyed it!
She even came to church on Sunday. Today we are teaching her again, we've decided that we are going to do lesson #3 in Preach My Gospel. We are going to ask her to get baptized tonight!! So excited!!
That is all that's going on around here!
I miss and love you all and would love to hear from you!!
Remember to always have faith and trust in God. He will never lead us astray and he wants to help and bless us but we have to ask for it. Here is a short testimony in Espanol.
Yo se que dios es nuestro Padre celestial. Yo se que Jesu Cristo es nuestro salvador y redentor.
Jesu Cristo murio en la cruz pro nosotros.
Yo se que Jose Smith fue al Profeta. Jose Smith restaurado la iglesia en la tierra.
Testifico que la iglesia es verdadera. Estoy agradecido por la oportunidad de estar aqui.
Peo la habilidad servirte. Estoy agradecido por Jesu Cristo y su Expiacion. Amo a Jesu Cristo y a mi Padre celestial y mi familia. Amo a evangelio. En el nombre de Jesu Cristo, Amen.
Love,
Hermana Katie Alvarez
