Hi everyone! How are you doing? I hope you all are well and that you have a great week this week!
We had a great experience of going to another area assigned to us called Ansina. We were able to meet a lot of great people and it's an incredible little town about an hour away from where we normally are. Before the pandemic started it was a little branch of the church and the area was just opened about 2 years ago. There were quite a few people who were baptized, but in March when all the United States missionaries left, the area started to struggle. Originally some members from barrio Lopez (Lopez ward) brought them to the chapel on Sundays for meetings but then they couldn't do that anymore because of the restrictions from COVID so the members in Ansina were left on their own and haven't had a whole lot of support or church activity in about a year.
Elder Lui and I found out that we're both going to be staying here for the next transfer so we have a goal of being able to get these people the ability to attend church and begin to nourish them spiritually again and help them feel that love from God that we all need. Each one of us has individual needs and problems, but something we all have in common is that God loves us perfectly and has a plan for us. Nothing that can happen will destroy or change that love and His works can't be changed or stopped. We all need to draw closer to Him and feel of that love so we can keep growing stronger and prepare to live with Him again. I'm looking forward to being able to help these people and I just want to testify that God loves you so much and has a plan for you. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know! I love all of you and am so grateful for everything you do for me and for the help you give to those around you to feel that love from God! Have a great week!! :)
