My first baptism!

-Alyssa only gets an hour to read all her emails and respond each week on her prep day.  I don't know why there is only that amount of time but I am learning that things are different when you serve in other countries. She feels bad that she can't write more but still hopes to hear from anyone who wants to write her.  Here is her latest :)

Hola!!!

Sorry, I don't have time because I decided to send pics instead! Please share what I said about desire! It is so true! 

Ask yourself this question, What is my desire? 

Also, this week I had a special experience with following the promptings of the Spirit! It was the end of the day and I needed to update my personal journal, but I had the impression that I should read part of the book I brought, "Believing Christ." So I decided to read it. At this time, one of my comps had been in the other room on her knees praying. It is her last transfer and she goes home in 3 weeks. She has been having a difficult time thinking that she hasn't done enough being here and having doubts, and feeling sad to leave.. She came in after she was finished and asked what I was reading. I let her have the book and then I decided to write in my journal, because after all, I needed to! haha... but after that she talked to me and told me that what she read in the book totally answered her prayers. I have a testimony that if you truly allow yourself to be worthy of the spirit and if you following promptings, the Lord will bless you and through you He can bless others! We are His hands! He uses His children to bless His children! Allow yourself to be a tool in His hands and I promise that you will find the joy in His blessings and being able to bless others!!

We had my first baptism this week!! Manuela is officially a member of the church!!

Much love! Have a great week!!

                                          Alyssa looks like a giant compared to everyone LOL!

                                          Alyssa with her companions and her first baptism Manuela!!

                                          Her companions and Manuela :)

                  She was able to see her first companion sister Jones from the CCM(MTC)                                                                       at the special zone conference they had!

Her bed is the red one.  She says that they are staying in a non-members apartment and that it is small but has wood and tile floors and not dirt so she is very thankful!

                                          This is her desk area:)
