Alright big news!
I'm back in a trio!!! Woot woot. It's actually a really funny story. In the
transfer meeting they miscounted the number of missionaries coming into the
mission. So they didn't call enough hermanas to train. Well, we normally
receive transfer calls on a Saturday and leave on Tuesday. Instead we received
a call on Tuesday night informing us of the mistake they made and saying they
were going to send another missionary here to be in a trio with us! So my
companions are Hermana Jenkins and Hermana LeSueur! And Hermana Jenkins (she's
from Vegas and she's super super cute I love her) companion super last minute
got called to train! Another crazy thing, Hermana LeSueur trained Hermana
Jenkins! So her hija is killing her! (Weird missionary language if you have
questions feel free to ask). So it's just great we are in a trio until Hermana
LeSueur goes home in two weeks!
Well this week a lot of my studies were focused on unity! In our mission we've had a ton of changes and missionaries coming from every mission and it's just crazy. President Galli has been talking a lot about "unidos en cristo" or "United in Christ" so I decided to do some studying and I love it! I found a lot of scriptures that I loved! (Romans 15:5, Psalm 133:1, Mosiah 18:21, 3 Nephi 27:1)
There was a pattern in all of them, they all talk about how the unity is only possible through Christ. And it's so true! Everyone is so different in so many ways and we all have different ideas and ways of seeing things, but if we all strive to become like our Savior and use His atonement daily we can find that peace and unity!
There's a quote I've been thinking about a lot this week from a talk that Court told me to read, "What if Love was Our Only Motive"
And it says, "when others successes become more exciting than your own, this is when we are starting to feel the love our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have for us."
When we get out of ourselves and focus on the needs and the success of others and rejoice over them, that is when the real joy comes!!

Update on our friend Adalbert, we had a very inspired visit with him and he is rehumbling himself and has recomitted himself to another baptismal date! He's made so much progress and we are so excited to see him be baptized!
Well I love you all!
Hermana Bangerter.
