Great Weekend!

So we had a really neat weekend. We were able to see a re-organization of a Stake and hear amazing council from those who were sent. It is amazing to see the process of the Lord choosing his servants, and where he needs them, and at what time. I learned a lot, we also had a Gulf Coast Conference and Elder Cook and Elder Scott spoke. Elder Cook used a conversion story from our mission, and we received a lot of good council from all of them. We have a lot of young girls here in the area who want to come out on splits with us. We are lucky to have their help, some of them have already been called to Spanish speaking missions. We were able to help Cristina again this week, we found out that she is friends with a member who lives in her same trailer park, and who is willing to help her come to church. We talked to Cristina who is really excited to come, and we were able to bring another member with us who has a strong testimony and was able to share with Cristina about how the gospel has changed her life. The Lord is really helping make things happen with her. We are excited!! We were able to do service for Rebecca this weekend as well, we had a lot of fun with her, and it was good for us to spend that time with her. Sister Schroeppel and I had an interesting week as well, it is amazing how the Lord tests your diligence and faith- but you still know that he is working with you even when things don't go as planned. He wants to make us think, and really want this gospel for people. Like Elder Liston said, sometimes the adversary gets in the way. But we just have to have faith that one day, these great families will be able to accept the gospel and be sealed in the temple. We are moving forward as a mission and really trying to be exactly obedient. Obedience has also been sticking out a lot for sister Schroeppel and I as we study. It is amazing how even though we don't do it perfectly, the Lord still gives us his spirit and lets us repent. The Plan that Heavenly Father really does makes us free! I love the feeling that the spirit gives, and how he helps us learn so much. I know that this is Christ's church here upon the earth, I can feel it! It is beautiful, and I love it. I love you all! Make it a great week :) Hermana Coleman
