Sister Jones Week 43

So this was a super stressful week but it ended up being really good. We got a new district leader and he was super controlling and would call us every 5 min to see if we had our numbers for the day. He didn't have the goal at the normal level.  He wasn't just inviting us to get higher numbers.  He was forcing us! I was super stressed all week and really close to biting his head off.  We made it too the end of the week.  My testimony has really grown of respecting our leaders because they receive revelation for each of us.

This week we had so many people come up to us and say that they want us to visit their daughter because she isn't a member of the church or their husband or their friend and all the lessons have gone really well. Also we had a new family at church this week and if everything goes well Abraham(the last member of the Chavez family)  will be baptized on Sunday(please keep him in your prayers).

Also a lot of young woman in our ward are thinking about going on missions.  They all went out and worked with us this week which was super great. Also there are so many sister missionaries now that some of the missions here in Mexico will not accept anymore sisters.  There is an overwhelming amount. It wouldn't be a problem to have so many hermanas except that they need priesthood in every area.  It is making it difficult with having more than half the mission as sister missionaries. So that is pretty crazy the difference in the setup of missions now from just two years ago. For example our ward has 4 sisters and 2 elders and we have 10 more sister missionaries than elders in our zone now! hahah we are outnumbering the Elders. It was funny because one of the members was talking about how sister missionaries are like bacteria in a dish. You start out with one and then before you know it there are thousands!

Anyway I have learned lots of important lessons this week. We learned in church this week that we can't look at our leaders as men but leaders in the church of Jesus Christ.  Heavenly Father will always bless us for being obedient to leaders in his church.. I hope you guys have a great week!

Love,
