HELLO
FAMILIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW’S IT GOING IN GOOD OLD
UTAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As
for Mexico it is great! Sounds like I missed
a lot of parties this week - make sure Grandma
knows I celebrated her birthday here in Mexico for her! hahahaha Also, make sure she knows that I got a letter
from her! She mentioned in her letter
that she didn’t know if I got them or not! But yes indeed I did. Also one package from Grandma Carlene!!! THANK
YOU! I also got a cute group of letters
from a few youth from our ward! THANK
YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!! I really am the
most spoiled missionary in the mission! hahaha THANK
YOU REALLY FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND LOVE!!!!!!
THIS WEEK WAS THE BEST IN THE WHOLE
MISSION!!!!!!!! (sorry if I have said that before, this week for sure was) haha
I don’t have enough time to even think
about all of the amazing miracles and experiences that happened but I am going
to try and do a little preview and give you a little hint and of the wonderful
work of the Lord!!!! Hmmmmmmm - where to
start.......!!!!!!
On Thursday I headed to Juarez to
prepare for the sister training meeting on Friday morning! It went really well and I am getting better at
talking in front of people in Spanish!!! YAY! It
doesn’t scare me as much as it did at first! hahaha The
meeting went well and we even got to practice exercising - IN SWEATS!!!!!! I WAS IN HEAVEN!!!!! Some of the hermanas were struggling finding
things they could do in the morning, so we gave them some ideas and had a lot
of fun!!! I really have learned so much
being the sister training; I always have to be on my toes and progressing and
being an example for all the hermanas!! It
is a lot of pressure, but I love the challenge!!!! The mission really is great - so much work and
sacrifice!! But more happiness than you
can imagine!
So we have been working with our
ward a ton this month to try and help them get more involved in the work; we
have tried everything and we finally decided if we can get them to pray and
fast we could see miracles! So we made
cards and talked to everyone - made posters and testified and reminded them and
well worked super hard for everything!! Our
ward mission leader came up with a great idea to go and do a special session in
the temple with all of the leaders of the ward! SO.... he talked to President and he said
sure!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU BELIVE IT!!!!! So on Friday we went and did a session in the
temple in Colonia Juarez!!!!!!!! IT WAS
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (pictures to follow) My companion was super excited to see Colonia
Juarez and well of course to go to the temple!!!!! IT WAS SO GREAT!!!!!!! OH HOW I MISS THE TEMPLE!!!!!!!!! IF IT WAS THE IDEAL LIFE, I WOULD GO TO THE
TEMPLE EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND ON SATURDAY WAS THE BAPTISM OF SILVIA AND MANUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was incredible and well there wasn’t a dry tear in sight! I wish I could explain how much they have gone
through, and their sacrifices and their desires and the light that they have inside
of them.... but words can’t even begin to explain it!!!! I think I mentioned this last week, but I have
never taught anyone like them; they are so willing to change because they trust
in the Lord more than anything! They
truly are examples for the world! I feel
honored to be in their lives and for sure they will always be in mine! During the baptism the bishop shared a few
words and then invited them to the activity that the ward is holding this week
to go do baptisms for the dead (of course the timing is perfect right) hahahaha
So they are heading to the temple this Wednesday
to do the work for the husband of Silvia
(the dad of Manuel and the girls) THEY COULDN’T BE
HAPPIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So on Sunday they got the spirit (the
Holy Ghost) and then Manuel got the
priesthood! And Wednesday they are
headed off to the temple!!!!!!!!!! THEY
ARE SO GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And looking
forward to one year from now going to the temple to be sealed for eternity!!!! (I gotta start saving so I can come back and
go to the sealing!!!!!)
Silvia shared her
testimony in church yesterday and wow, it was so powerful; she was prepared for
the Lord and just waiting for this in her life!!!! I hope that one day you will be able to meet
her and her family! It is her and Manuel that is 12 and Allison who has 5 years and Naeomi that is 2!!!!!!!!!!! (and the
missionaries) hahahaha
I know with all the surety in
my heart we were placed in their path for a reason. I know that the timing of the Lord is perfect
and everything happens for a grand reason! WE HAVE TO TRUST HIM!!!!!!!!!! I feel honored to be in the service of the
Lord and be an instrument in His hands. I
am growing closer to Him every single day and I encourage you to think about
how you are too! We must get to know
Him, so we can recognize Him when He comes!!!!!!
This church is true; the gospel of
Jesus Christ is the only place that we can find pure happiness!!!!!!!!!!!!
NEXT ADVENTURE
JUAREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUP - I
GOT TRASFERED TO JUAREZ; TO AN AREA CALLED NIÑOS
HEROES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON’T ASK ME WHERE IT IS OR ANYTHING..... I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT THE LORD HAS CALLED ME
THERE AND I AM SUPER NERVOUS BUT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR THE NEW
ADVENTURE AND OPPORTUNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP ME IN YOUR
PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOODBYE
