Hello everyone!! How are we doing this week? My week was good, nothing really new to report but I will be staying in Grand Priarie, Texas for another 6 weeks!
This week we started teaching this family and the father doesn't believe in God, he knows that there is a God but he doesn’t know if really is their and if he really helps out the people. Plus, he knows that there is a Jesus Christ but why is Jesus Christ so important. So we just went over to his house trying to explain that there is a God and that he plays an important role to us, and next time we are going to explain why Jesus Christ is so important and why we need a Savior of the World.
We also found a woman name Julieta we weren’t able to find her for the past 2 weeks because she has been depressed because her husband like the company of other woman. But she is still living with her husband and Julieta really want her husband to change and we just keep on bearing testimony that the gospel does change families but we must respect other people’s agency and not force them to do anything they don’t want too. So, she has been reading and always praying but she doesn’t know what else to do, and we told her that she needs to come to church. She told us that she isn’t going to make any promises but I know she will in time.
We got to meet with Louis Vazquez, the husband of a family that was baptized about a month ago. And we found out Louis Vazquez doesn’t like missionaries! Hmm…I wonder why…since we are always telling him that he needs to pray and go to church. My companion and I were talking and its probably because he is feeling too much pressure from us and from his wife. His wife loves him but she want to be an eternal family so bad that she is pushing her husband. Because she knows the faster he gets baptized the soon they can be sealed to a family. So its not helping that he knows the reason why we are there is to see him but we are trying to let the accelerator go for a while and let him chill.
Well, everyone I love you and I hope that you have a great day!! REMINDER!!! MY BIRTHDAY IS NEXT WEEK!!!
Love always,
Sister Tiana Beetso

Time Flies:)
Dear Everyone!
How are you doing today! I am great, I just relized that I have less than 4 months left on my mission! I cant believe how the time flies! I felt like I just got to texas and I have no idea how to talk in Spanish. But I know that its almost time for me to go home and finish school, and be a normal person again, but I really don’t want to but my time is almost gone. I am almost done serving the Lord, I love my time here and I will not waste any of my time here!
Well this is what happened this week, Carmen got baptized I never thought that I would ever see her get baptized, so about almost a year of working hard with Carmen and she made it. Know the elders are going to teach her family and hopefully they will get married.
Talking about investigators that have been taught for a while is, Lorena. We went by her house and she wants to get baptized but her boyfriend wont marry her, which is a huge problem. This is the only thing that she is lacking, so we asked her if she has the faith to ask her husband to get married, so we are going to see what she does because as missionaries we only can do so much for her.
My companion and I found a new family, the father is name Fernando and he doesn’t know who Jesus Christ is. He was brought up Catholic and he knows that Jesus Christ is the Son of God but he doesn’t know really why Jesus Christ is important to our salvation. He lack a lot of faith, he said that he was going to hard times and he prayed to God but nothing got better, then he stop praying and things got a lot better. We tried to explain that we need faith we need to exercise it and that the challenges that are givin to us are to help us not to take us down but to help us grow.
We saw Norma Vazquez and her divorce is final but she needs to wait 30 days before she can get baptized but something happened. She has a miscarriage so she isn’t feeling that great, but we just tired to go over the plan of salvation and she know where her baby is. Its so hard because she was so happy about having that baby, getting married, then baptized. So the Relief Socitey is going to help out around the house. Well Everyone, Time Flies and I love you!
Love always,
Hermana Annie Beetso

Valley Girl Spanish
Hi everyone! Guess what?! I got a new companion!!!! Eh…I know that it isn’t transfer time yet, but I am now with Sister Heder! Sister Heder is from Utah (like the rest of time) and her mom is Cuban! Sister Heder has a wicked cool Spanish accent, so she is going to work with me with my accent because I only have 4 months left and I need to get rid of my valley girl Spanish accent! So im pretty happy about that! Hermana Heder was in Oak Cliff and she has been out about 7 month, so she is kinda new but not really!!!
Another exciting news is that I SURIVIED A TORNADO! Well, the tornado was no where, where I was, so that’s good. It just rained and rained like crazy!
Besides the Tornado we found this young mother, who is awesome, we found her knocking doors and we taught her the 1st lesson and she told us that she is willing to do anything because she knows that we are messengers from God! So we set up a return appointment with her and we called her to confirm but she said she couldn’t do it. So we are going to stop by her house this week.
OH OH!! Norma Vazquez, she has been waiting to get married for the past 2 years, but she was waititng for a divorce and then she need to get married, afterwards. We finally got news that she is getting married next month or in two months!! Finally after 2 years of waiting she is getting baptized! She told us that she is tired of waititng to get baptized and the second after she gets married she is going to get baptized! Do you know how many sets of missionaries have been waiting for this day?! At least a dozen! I’m just lucky that I’m going to be here when it happens.
Yesterday, we went by this medial referral, her name is Julieta, and her cousin is a member in South Carolina. But I called her to see if she wanted to come to church, despite the fact I called 10 mins before church. i was like well, there not much time left if she isn’t ready but I called her anyways, and she didn’t pick up but she called back, and she was crying hysterically! I was a miracle that I understood what she was saying. So right after church we went by her house and we found out that her husband left her because he like the company of other woman. So she was out of it, then we talked to her and she said we were send to her from God. That we are the messengers that she needs, and so we taught her a little bit about priesthood blessings. She expressed that she wanted one, so we called the Ward Mission Leader and he came and gave her a blessing. She knows that she needs to go in the right path and follow God and that he loves her. Its so sad when people forget that they are children of God.
Well, everyone! Another week as a missionary! I just to remind you of how much I love you!
Love always,
Hermana Beetso

Remember how I said there was a tornado here, well this is about the elders and sisters…kinda.
Hermana Ulberg: Well, I asked Sister Williams how many parents called to ask about their child. Then Sister Williams said a lot! And guess how many sisters’ parents called? None!

Knock, Knock
Good Morning Everyone! So this week I am emailing on Saturday because of the Holiday weekend! So, this is what has happened so far in the week…
We had a Family Home Evening with Norma and her kids! This is amazing because usually she punches on our appointments! We were able to do the Lehi dream and how we need to say on the correct path and make the right decisions. Later on this week, we played a game with Norma and her kids and Norma knows everything! The only thing that she was upset because she didn’t know is the 10 commandments! But we are going to stop by today to make sure that she is going to church, tomorrow. This week we met with a man name Manuel, he is the one im afraid off…and all yall know that im not afraid of many people, but I'm terrified again! But we went in and asked him if he read, and he said yes, then he started to ask us so many random pointless questions that he shouldn’t be asking….like for example, what is the linage of Lehi…where can I find it. And the whole the sabboth day should be on sat not Sunday. Yah…a lot of usless pointless questions, but in all he held up the Book of Mormon and said that this book means nothing to him! In conclusion he yelied at me because I told him he needs more faith. I promise I didn’t chasiete him, I just told him that he needs to have more faith and not to lean on his own understanding. That he needs to do more than read but to pray with real intent, and go to church. After the lesson Hermana Kleinman and I came to the conclusion that he was just looking for an outlet. Once again, someone intelligence has stead them in the wrong direction.
This week we met with Lorena and her kids weren’t their. Lorena told us her kids doesn’t want to listen or go to church because its bordering! Lorena told them that it isn’t bordering to her because she likes church. But then we have to thinking about it…I wasn’t interested in church at 14…but we are trying to get the youth involved so that they would seem more excited to go if people were inviting them to go!
We also got to met with Juan who is 17 years old, we taught him the Plan of Salvation and he really liked it. We set up another time to come back but we went back the other night but he was sleeping on the coach and he didn’t get anything we said so we set up another appointment, but he wasn’t their. We talked to his parents but they are no interested at all. So alteast they are cool about us coming over!
And we have knocked a lot of doors, more doors than I have ever knocked in my mission! So a lot of interesting people! So we will see what going to happen when the random people we meet!
I love you all!!!
Love Always,
Sister Annie Beetso
