Happy Valentine's Day!

Schaumburg Spanish zone at Chicago Temple

I'm sending this on a Tuesday because we got to go to the temple!!! It really is such a blessing we get to go, and I regret not going every week when I could! If you live near a temple, go to the temple!

Choose the right!

This has been a crazy week! Being an hermana training leader is really fun, but it's also lots of meetings and planning and calling and emailing. We don't have much time to write today so sorry this will be short. We had our branch Valentine's Day party and it was a huge success! We had 2 investigators there- Edgar and Clarita- and lots of less active members! And a few of them even came to church the next day! Branch activities are the best.

Hmna Díaz-Bonilla is such a fun companion! She is a great missionary and this will be her last transfer, so I sadly only get her for the next few weeks. I plan to learn as much Spanish from her as I can in this little time!

We taught Edgar the word of wisdom and a bunch of other stuff. He actually was super open to living the word of wisdom, and said it won't be hard to give up alcohol and coffee! He hasn't been coming to church though, so we'll see what happens.
We taught a new investigator Named Alicia from Bolivia. She has a ton of potential! But she lives one street outside of our area, so we will be passing her off to the other hermanas.

We did a lot of member work this week, and helped out with the young women's. Speaking of young women's, we got in contact with Jocelyn again! She says she's coming to mutual tomorrow!

Pretty much all of our other investigators are sick, it's that time of year. But we had a very productive, busy, crazy week. :) I love these people, I love Spanish, I love being a missionary.

Have a good week!

Con amor,

Hermana Hokanson

Argentinian deserts from some members!

Guess who got the white one and who got the brown one?:)
