A New Era in the Church of Christ

Hello!

ADVICE: Don't yawn, or smile when riding a bike, it's a great landing place for bugs. Also, when your skirt gets stuck in the tire of your bike, make sure you have a sewing kit. 

Alright so as I write this I am very wet. It rained all night and is still raining. Haha can't you just see me now riding my Pixie in the rain getting spalshed by cars and getting hit in the face by big drops of water. Haha my face is like all awkward looking and wet. It's sooo much fun, and funny! Honestly, people HAVE to think we are crazy. Our maintaince man from our complex was like "NO! Don't go out! it's not fair" hahaha it was funny. Nothing stops us. Anyway it's been a blast on my bike pixie. She's done me good....

Now for the news. I have to say goodbye to pixie...and HELLO to CAR!!!!! hahaha we have transfers tomorrow and all I know is that I am getting transfered :( Sad day.It's always hard leaving. I don't like packing either haha but that doesn't even matter. Hna Sanders doesn't have her visa yet, but President must have gotten revelation that they are going to leav soon. Two companions are coming in to be companions with her. haha can't you just see it now, 3 bikers in skirts biking down the street...and one getting caught by the red light. Haha crazy huh? She is going to be in a trio. Hna Zepeda is telling the whole ward that it takes at least 2 sister missionaries to replace me. ha. Well all 3 peru visa waiters will now by in trios as of tomorrow....so they must be leaving soon. All I know is I'm going to car and graduating again. I thought I'd never go back in a car. So it's weird. I'm having a paradigm shift. I wanted to continue on bike, but I know that God needs me in a new area on car, it's for a great purpose right? :-) That's all I know, I'm leaving North Hollywood.

As I was studying this really impacted me:

Enos 1:12

12 And it came to pass that after I had ^aprayed and labored with all diligence, the Lord said unto me: I will grant unto thee according to thy ^bdesires, because of thy faith.

I LOVE THIS! Don't you? I don't know why you would'nt. :-) So I've been praying...being diligent...and have great desires and faith, so I know God according to His will, will grant unto me what I need.

In a 10 second contact in our complex elevator, this made wrote his number down on my planner and said we could teach him. He didn't live in our area, so we sent the referal in. The next morning, he was updated to "teaching." From a 10 second elevator ride, this man now has the opportunity to CHOOSE accordning to the knowledge he will gain. It is a miracle. God knows who is prepared. It was a tender MIRACLE.

Just a thought. We are commanded to follow the prophet. Moses was a prophet. Had the people not followed him, they would have still been in captivity. So if I follow President Monson, I will not be in captivity, but have liberty.

We have been working with a member we found knocking doors that hasn't been to church in about 6 years. He got baptized about 7 or 8 years ago. In this 5 weeks, we worked with him each week. At the beginning he said very firmly NO to going to church. The miracle is that yesterday he went to church and called us his angeles because of how happy he was. He told us, "You've done your job." It is amazing to feel the pleasant peace that comes from the Spirit telling you that God is happy with you. I'll send a picture. He's awesome and even wore a suit!!! :-)

Okay wel lI love you!!! take care. And I'll talk to you on Sunday for mothers day!!! I haven't decided if we'll skype of just call.

Love,

Hna Arguello
