Hello Family!
How is everyone doing?
The past week went well.
One of the most exciting moments of the week was our lesson with Dago, an investigator who's family is strong members of the church. We had been thinking of dropping him, but this lesson was really great with him. We discussed the doctrine of Christ and how those 5 principles are things that really do help us change, help us progress towards our Heavenly Father and guide us in this life. We wanted him to understand that he needs the Gospel to change, it is what we need to apply before Heavenly Father can allow us to live with our families forever. The lesson was powerful and the Spirit testified strongly to him. I know that he was touched by the Spirit and he left with a lot of things to think about. I'm excited for our next lesson with him.
We had another lesson with Imelda, an investigator of ours. She is progressing. We went to her house and she hadn't read the chapter we had given her, so we read with her. It was good. It is sometimes hard to determine where she is at spritually, but I think she is still progressing and has a desire to change and accept the Gospel.
Similarly, we had a lesson with Isis this week. She is also progessing, but slowly. She said for sure she'd be coming to church on Sunday, but then didn't end up showing up. I know she has some interest, but she hasn't seemed to quite grasp what we are teaching/ offering her. She is always very receptive to our message and doesn't ever seem to have any concerns about what we are teaching her, but doesn't seem like she's really taking it seriously either sometimes. We'll see what happens with her but I think she'll get there. I think it could also be that she grew up in a strong Christian background and so she says that alot of what we teach isn't really anything super new to her and it's all logical to her. So we keep working with her. She's coming.

Now, the moment I am sure you were all waiting for, right?! TRANSFER CALLS!
This week was the end of transfers, so I am officially done being
trained! Hermana Mulitalo left this morning, aka she'll be at the office
until she leaves tomorrow morning for home. I'm so grateful for her. I
learned alot from and with her. I know she is who I needed to be with to
learn what Heavenly Father wanted me to learn, so I could be prepared
for the future...aka now.
I'm going to be staying in Tujunga, but will be training a new
missionary. She comes in tomorrow so I'll get to meet her then. We'll be
in a Trio for 2 weeks with another sister who leaves for home on the
18th. I'm excited. I know it'll be hard, but I know I have what I need
to do it how He wants it done. It'll be a good opportunity to depend on
the Lord more and to learn to recognize His direction more. I'll let you
know how week one goes next week. I was a little sad to have to still
have 4 hours of studying in the morning, but it'll be good.
Bring it on!
I love you all,
-Hna. LaPierre
