Zamoreyano

Hello!!!

In case you are wondering Zamoreyano is our companionship name. Zamora, Morey, and Lozano. It is fun! This week has completely flown by! I can't even believe it. We are all working very hard to make the trio work out and have been doing a pretty good job. We are having fun and we are laughing maybe a little too much! We are working hard and are using the fact that we all love music to help bless our area. 

This week... it rained... hard. It was on Tuesday and we really didn't have many people that we could see so we ended up walking for a little bit. I wore my rain jacket, we had one umbrella, and we put on a smile and walked. We were SOAKED!!!! California roads weren't built for rain so we had rivers running everywhere and our feet were soaked. It was so much fun! It spiked up a couple conversations, people thinking we are crazy, and we were able to explain our purpose. We realized that if we put on a smile people would realize that we must have something worth listening to because why else would we be so happy while walking in the rain?! It was really cool... and then cold. We were walking to an appointment when it just started raining extremely hard! Somehow a member in one of the English wards was at the stoplight and stopped what she was doing to give us a ride to our next appointment. What a blessing! The Lord really knows what we need.

As I mentioned earlier we are using our music skills to bless our area. We have planned a Christmas Family Home Evening for members in our ward. Hermana Zamora plays the violin and Hermana Lozano and I sing. We have a musical reading, we read the Luke 2 story while Hermana Zamora plays the violin and it ends in Silent Night. Then we will be showing the "He is the Gift." and something like that! It really brings the spirit and we are encouraging members to invite non-member friends to come when we go to their house. Hopefully it all works out. Our first one is tonight! 

Yesterday we had 8 people say that they would come to church... and we only had 1. We were excited for the one but pretty disappointed about the rest. We aren't sure what happened and are going to be working hard to figure that out. We did a inacctive family to come to church! It was amazing!!!!! That was a miracle moment.  The investigator that did come, Ilse, (Ill-say) came and we had an appointment with her after church where she accepted a baptismal date, and when we invited her to the Christmas devotional she said yes! We got to see it! it was so powerful and she had tears in her eyes. She just gets it. We were so happy and the spirit was so strong. 

It has been a great week with so many blessings. I can honestly say that I know that Heavenly Father is working hard in this area and I am grateful to be a part of it! Thank you so much for the package!!! it was so fun and we decorated our apartment. I gave my companions the advent calendars and I am using the cute paper chain. Perfect! I love you all so much! Have a wonderful week!

Love always,
Hermana Morey
