Freddy is a STAR!

Hey y'all! It's me, Hermana Siebach! 

Wanna know something awesome? This Sunday was fast Sunday and also testimony Sunday and guess who bore their testimony? Me. BUT! Guess who else?! FREDDY!!!! I don't know if I have told y'all a whole lot about Freddy. If I have, it was a few weeks back, so I'll tell you again. Freddy is a reference that the elders that were here before us received the day they left the area. So, they called him and set up a lesson, but we were the ones who showed up to it! Freddy is a star and the best ever person-getting-to-know-the-gospel. This week, he got up on the stand and shared his testimony about the blessings he has seen in keeping the Word of Wisdom for the last week. He talked about the miracles and changes you can see in your life when you pray meaningfully and read the scriptures everyday, and then he cordially invited all the ward members to do the same, and also to come to his baptism. GO FREDDY!

I have been learning more about charity and love and patience, and let me tell ya, these things are important. And sometimes we're put in situations where we are tested in these areas EVERY DAY. What are we gonna do? ¿Que haría Jesús? I have been humming the primary song "I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus" almost nonstop. It's a good way to remember who my example is and maybe the things I need to change to be a little more like him every day.

1. I’m trying to be like Jesus;
   I’m following in his ways.
   I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
   At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
   But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,
2. “Love one another as Jesus loves you.
   Try to show kindness in all that you do.
   Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
   For these are the things Jesus taught.”
3. I’m trying to love my neighbor;
   I’m learning to serve my friends.
   I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
   I try to remember the lessons he taught.
   Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:
4. “Love one another as Jesus loves you.
   Try to show kindness in all that you do.
   Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
   For these are the things Jesus taught."

Yesterday, I had my interview with President Brotherson and it was really super. At the end, he said "Hermana Siebach, you are such a great person. I can tell you come from a really great family." IT'S TRUE! The last part I mean. SHOUT OUT TO Y'ALL. I would not be anywhere close to where I am today if my family wasn't stock full of amazing examples for me to follow since day one. I love y'all with my whole heart. Thank you for everything!

Amor y Besitos!!
Hermana Siebach
