Hola Familia!

How is everyone? This past week has been great! Thanks mom for making Hna Rosario's year mark so awesome! 

So, we had two Rescues this week! We have been working with our less actives (there are so many) and even though we are not reporting them to Salt Lake anymore, they are still super important! Heavenly Father loves all of His children, and wants them all to return to live in His Presence. So we got Hna Boyer, a less active only because she had a major surgery last summer, to talk with the bishop and transfer her records from Venezuela, and Marcial!!! Yeah!! He is doing so good, really trying to live the Law of Chastity and everything. I have loved being able to see him change these past weeks. After his interview with the Bishop, he just looked so happy! I hope he will soon feel worthy to partake of the Sacrament. The Sacrament is truly such a blessing, and I have appreciated it more and more since coming to realize so many people do not have the opportunity to receive a full and perfect remission of their sins every week. It is an amazing blessing to have all that doubt, guilt, and shame lifted from off our shoulders through the infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know He is our Savior, that He lives, and that through Him, we can be cleansed and be worthy to return to live in the Kingdom of our Father in Heaven, for all Eternity with our loved ones!

We are working hard, making the most of these last two weeks we have together, transfers are on either the 1st or 2nd of March, and we are pretty sure Hna Rosario will be transferring😭 but its totally fine, because she will go where the Lord needs her. I just love her so much! I love my mission! I love all of you as well, keep pressing forward with a steadfastness in Christ! His yoke is easy, and His burden is Light!

Les Quiero,

Hermana Stokes
