Alright, so first of all... I leave for Spain tonight! I am so excited! The wait is over and I am rejoicing!

We had a mission tour from Elder Martino yesterday so today is Pday! I learned so much from it!

First of all! How you can know who to share the gospel with! Ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you know anyone that has had a baby recently?

2. Do you know anyone that has lost a loved one recently?

3. Do you know anyone struggling with teenage children?

4. Do you know anyone that is going through  a hard time recently?

Then when you think of people that fall under these categories, pray for them, talk to them, invite them to have a lesson from the missionaries about what their concerns are!

Missionaries are willing and able to teach but have a hard time finding! Then have missionaries teach lessons IN YOUR HOME! You are doing things that help you have the spirit in your home where as our investigators are not. We need the spirit to teach and it is so much stronger in member's homes! Just think about it.

Elder Martino taught me a lot about what I need to do to be a better missionary, I am blessed to have so much time left in my mission so I can apply his teachings!

A quote from yesterday I loved is "If it is to be it is up to me" It is so true! If we want something to happen we need to do it ourselves!

Sister Martino talked about how we need to use the life lines that we have in our lives such as friends, family and prayer. They can't help us if we don't want to use them.

President Manion said something powerful to me as well. Some missionaries will wake up late or stay at appointments too long or in other words be disobedient but not "too" disobedient. So President said, "Don't rationalize the little things, you're not smarter than the prophets of God" I loved hearing that.

I love this work and am excited to go to the MTC!

Love,

Hermana West
