Hermana Bloxham - Flyin by as Always!!


Hello my amazing family and friends!
Man, this week has been a huge week of trials for Hermana Cole and I. During weekly planning last week we called everyone. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone! Formers, potentials, investigators, members and less actives. All who answered we made an appointment with but as it happened none of them were available until Wednesday night. So from Thursday last week until Tuesday this week we have been doing lots of praying for guidance. We also had a district fast on Sunday this week to help our ward feel like we as missionaries love them and try to get more member present lessons! Our ward is not the best but we are trying to do all we can to help them grow in testimony as well as in service! 
We didn't know how to help them so during our fast we tried to think of anything that we can do to help them "catch the wave". This weekend as well we had stake conference. We had Elder Packer and Elder Perry talk to us and it was amazingly perfect! They both talked about how the missionaries and the ward need to be as one unit in bringing people unto Christ. That is exactly what we were fasting for! It's so amazing how the Lord works! I wish I could tell you all about their talks but we had to listen to it in Spanish so I only caught the general idea haha.
Besides that, we have done lots and lots of tracting, less-active lookups, and former investigator look-ups. It has been a lot of hard hard work and tiring days of zero's in our planners. But we found 2 new investigators and 2 new potentials! That makes it all worth it in my eyes! Yesterday was one of the hugest miracle days ever! So we had plans to look up more randoms and then we called a member to see if we could teach her and she said, I would love to come out with you guys! That's money for getting member lessons! So, we switched our plans so that she could at least have one normal lesson with us. Then we got there to pick her up and found out that she didn't have a bus pass for this month..... So we switched our plans again! Basically, we didn't have any plans!
So we decided to just walk to one of our investigators house. On the way there we saw 3 of our other investigators who we werent planning on seeing and we got to talk to Walter for a while too. We also found a new investigator yesterday and she looks like she is so prepared to hear our message! I'm so excited for this next week!
Oh, we also met a guy named Mohammed, who gave us a free drink from a convenience store and proceeded to show us how to use a Hookah.... Just a little awkward haha
It's good to write out all of the blessings and little miracles that happen because it makes up for all of the hard times we have during the week. As long as we have faith that we are doing what we are supposed to be doing and working as hard as we can, Heavenly Father has promised us more blessings than we can even comprehend and that there won't be enough room to receive them.(Malackai somewhere hahaha)
Thank you all for your support and everything you are doing to help me out here in NYC! You are all the best!
Yo se que esto as la obra de Cristo y estoy muy agradecido por este oportunidad a ser un missionera! Estamos bendicido de Dios para que podamos experimentar nuestro fe y amor por el. Les doy gracias por su apoyo a mi aqui en Nueva York!
I love you all so much!
Hermana Bloxham :)
