Semoran!!!!!

Well I am not in Windermere anymore. Haha. Semoran is amazing and I love it!!! There is a very heavy Spanish population so I am speaking a lot more Spanish. Also, my new companion Hermana Christensen and I came out together so our ability to speak Spanish is about the same.... very basic. We were both amazed at how well we actually did. We talked about how we have been relying on our senior companions to speak, but now it is all up to us. The gift of tongues is real! I have felt my Spanish skills improve drastically this week. We have been able to say and understand everything that we need to. Missionary Blessings.

Mostly this week was spent getting know the area. We found some cool new investigators on Thursday! Also Facebook. Super weird. Wednesday we spent some time cleaning our accounts up. I am not going to lie, I am not the biggest fan of becoming an online proselyting mission. It is going to take some getting used to, but FYI if you see that I am online please remember that I am still a missionary and can only email on P-days so..... yeah. Haha. 

This transfer I am working on the Christ-like attribute of Faith. I am really going to need to strengthen my faith this transfer to invoke the power of the gift of tongues. My studies were guided by the spirit and I ended up studying a lot about Prayer. I have realized that my prayers have become a little repetitive and not very faith-filled. So I started praying more sincerely, and allowing the spirit to guide my prayers. After every prayer I take a second to ponder and to listen. It is amazing how different my prayers have become. I love my Heavenly Father and am so grateful I have Him so close and only a prayer away. I love being a missionary here in the great FOM! The church is true!

Also, this week I got attacked by a frog going into our apartment. It was hopping around my feet and it freaked me out. It's okay, we both survived. 🐸🐸🐸🐸

Happy 7 months!!  7 down, 11 to go!

We were stranded at the church for a few hours,
 waiting for the assistants to bring us our car,
 and we were starving. 
We found some ramen in a cupboard in the 
primary room. Blessings. 

Our new car. This area was in a car share 
until this week (I seriously lucked out).
