HELLO!!! :) Me and my new comp!!!! Hna
Tomco!!! From Springville Utah. She knows JR Hansen and went to byu
before the mission. We actaully were in the ccm together and I am more stoked
than ever to be her comp!!!
hey mom and dad we have had a crazy big
day with pres. and all zone leaders and hna mcmullin (pres. wife) so we didn´t really get
time to write today. Had a fabulous new years though and oh my life you
should know this week was literally one of THE best yet in the mission!!!
I am not kidding. It felt like THE fastest yet THE longest
at the exact same time. Hna Tomco and I have got tons of New YEars
resolutions... she reminds me of Katie :) in that aspect which I absolutely
love. We both bounce off one another and are both inspire/animar uno al
otro. I love her! I can tell this will be a great compship. One
thing I am really trying to master and focusing with Hna Tomco on is
consecrating our lives to the Lord. We are doing 40 day fasts, speaking spanish
only in the streets, and talking to EVERYONE. That (talking with
everyone) really impacted our week, turned it from a regular week to a golden
week. We each had over 100 contacts each (When the mission max goal is
75) and we found seriously more than one or two golden investigators
everyday. Oh I couldn´t be happier this gospel is incredible. Our
Savior really will make us, ¨fishers of men.¨ I challenge you all to read
Matthew 4. amazing. I was admiring and studying the Savior´s
characteristics during the 40 day fast and in vs. 18-19 when he says to the
fishers I will make you fishers of men. I applied it to us in our
regular lives doing our regular ¨fishing¨or things we like to do. Maybe
these things bring us joy and there not bad, but if we can have the strength to
put those things aside and really learn to consecrate all thoughts, actions,
desires, and time to the Lord he will make of us something we never imagined we
could become. He will show us a different type of ¨fishing¨ much richer,
much greater, and gratifying than any other thing that occupies our life/time.
This Gospel is amazing. The law of consecration really is the
answer to not only a successful mission, but a successful life.
Con mucho cariño,
Hermana Owen
