Hi there!
Well, this week was a lot of the normal missionary
life. But Friday I did go on intercambios and spent Friday afternoon to
Saturday morning in a nearby pueblo with a different missionary. Splits? I
think thats what its called in english.
This hermana is a good friend and lots of fun, so we had a
blast. We ended up setting a baptismal goal with a man and his 9 year old
daughter, which was awesome! I love the girl, she was super sweet. And funny.
Her dad didn´t have a lot of time before going to work to
meet with us. He kept talking and telling us what he thought about religon and
about his life, and not giving us a chance to talk and start explaining the
restoration to him. Its hard to know when to interrupt sometimes because I
don´t want to be rude and we want to give people the chance to express what
they´re feeling, but we also have something to share thats amazing!
So I was starting to think we weren´t ever going to get the
chance to teach before he had to leave, when his 9 year old daughter interrupts
and says ,´´ Daddy, you have to let the Hermanas teach us. They haven´t talked
at all yet and I want to listen!´´ I think she was listening to the Spirit
without even realizing it :) Super funny experience.
I ate my first Niepolatana (not sure how you spell that) in
a while too while I was in Dos Hermanas (The pueblo) and it was fantastic. I´d
forgotten just how much I love those goodies. They´re the chocolate filled
croissant thingies, I´ve sent pictures home before I¨m pretty sure. Yum!!
This week I´ve been reading Moses for my studies, and its
amazing how much stuff is in there! I´d forgotten so many things in there. Like
Chapter 6 is full of the plan of Salvation and the Gospel of Christ and
mentions Adam being baptized. Super cool stuff. I´m really learning so much out
here. All these little bits and pieces that are building up my foundation and
strengthening my testimony. It´s an awesome thing. My mission is still hard and
there are still days when I´m not sure if I´ll make it to that night. BUT, the
good things I¨m learning and the strength I´m gaining far outweighs the hard
parts.
I think thats how we felt about life, looking down from the
premortal life. We knew it would be hard and that we´d get pretty darn tired.
But its worth it, and we knew it. So we jumped from the edge of the cliff,
knowing that Christ´s Atonement would catch us. We put all our eggs in one
basket. We must of had so much faith!! It amazing to think about. I want to
have that same faith, and more. That´s what we´re all working towards, right?
Just some of what I´ve been thinking about this week. Love
you all a bunch, Keep on going strong! Don´t forget to read your scriptures and
say your prayers, not for even ONE day. Love ya!!!!
