Hi, y’all!
Man, time is like
literally flying. It’s starting to freak me out.
I can’t believe the
missionaries don’t talk to people at activities. That’s the only reason
they should go. Oh man, Dad—you are a dream come true of a church leader.
It would be such a privilege working under your leadership.
I started crying when I
read that about Sparks Middle school [the
shooting that took place on Oct 21st]. I can’t believe it.
I will pray for them. The world is in so much sadness. We
have the truth and the happiness, y’all!!!! Please just give it a chance.
This week, one of my
favorite moments was when this little girl who I wave to when she plays in the
dirt just ran up to me and gave me this huge hug and didn’t let go for a while,
and then just kept running. Children really can tell who we represent here.
It’s beautiful.
We met some people this
week who are way staunch—and I am so excited about. We had some
powerhouse 20-minute lessons with a couple of staunch people where the Spirit
just testified. It’s cool when we teach people with strong spirits,
because it seems like the Spirit comes in stronger to match it.
We had two amazing
intercambios [exchanges] this week.
I love the sisters in the mission. I am learning so much from the
examples of them and their areas. It is so cool and humbling being with
them and learning from them. Hard, and I love it so much.
Brag moment - Saturday, one person asked if I was from Colombia, and
another if I was from Spain. No one this week asked me which state in the
U.S. I was from. Boom! But I avoid situations in which I have to
use subjunctive tense, so when I quit being a baby and start challenging myself
again, the questions will come back. But it’s just cool how much help I
have received.
Some people really
broke my heart this week. It’s incredible what I am learning. How
to give your heart completely and wholly and know that maybe it will get handed
back to you broken. But hey, that’s what Christ did. When He was
carrying the cross, the very people who He was paying the sins of were spitting
on Him. But He didn’t stop loving. Never. He never gave less.
Its incredible, isn’t it? I love Him so much. And it is such
a privilege to work with Him.
Love you so
much!!!!!!!!!!!!! And i loooooooove being a missionary!

She makes me want to be a full-time missionary...or at least a better missionary myself. Love her spirit!
