I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go: Bye to Corydon and a Baptism

Hey, y'all!

Let me tell you about my week. It's been amazing!

I met my new companion on Tuesday and said "goodbye" to Hermana Parra.
I miss her a lot. A lot a lot. But! My new companion, Hermana
Wilkinson, is so great! She's a really hard worker, bold, and
optimistic. We've had some really good success so far.

We found six new investigators! We hope that all of them will progress
to baptism. Speaking of baptism, I had my first baptism on Sunday! His
name is Andres, and he's the coolest. He speaks a dialect of
Guatemala, so he doesn't understand Spanish perfectly. But his desires
are pure, and he understands everything that the missionaries have
taught him. It was a crazy week trying to get his last lessons in
before his baptism and putting the program together, but it all worked
out! Felicitaciones, Andres!

We set up our exchanges for this transfer. That was a really neat
experience. We prayed to know when we should exchange and who should
go where. It was a very inspired planning session. God knows our
needs, and He shows His love for us through others. I look forward to
learning from the sisters in our area.

This week I was studying in 1 Ne 16. One of the principles taught in
this chapter is that one of the tests in our lives is how we respond
to trials. If we are humble, we will endure them well. We will see the
hand of the Lord in our lives, and we will come out conquerors. When
we make a mistake, we will feel the guilt because it will prick out
hearts. If we humble ourselves, we will see that God is good and that
He wants us to succeed. Mistakes and errors are not the end. We are
never too far gone. Trials give us the ability to rely upon God.

D&C 122:7-8
7 And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of
murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast
into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce
winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the
elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws
of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son,
that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy
good.
8 The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?

How will we respond to correction and afflictions?

Love,
Hermana Boyson
