Spiders and Peppers

Hola!                                                                                                                       Dec. 8,2017

 This past week has been hilarious. Spiritual, hot, exhausting, and hilarious. Last night we went on a rampage and killed all of the spiders in our house but one or two so that they could munch on the mosquitoes for us. It took about 10 minutes to kill about 25-30 spiders so I feel like we made good time haha
Here we are in front of the colorful City sign

Saturday morning we ate breakfast with some kind of investigators. Their daughter is baptized. While we were there, they bought some habanero peppers from the street vendor walking by, and the Elders Alcala and Peña decided to eat some. You guys, we laughed so hard. They were trying so hard not to cry from the heat. It was hilarious. That is what you get when you try to be macho.
So grateful for my snacks!!!

This morning we went to an ice skating rink and skated for a while. Super fun! I may or may not have biffed it a couple of times haha. It was a good laugh.

A cool experience we had this past week: We were meeting with the Primary pres. about Noche de Rama, and we decided to share a scripture I had shared that morning in comp study. It is the one that Taylor shared for my setting apart. Isaiah 41:13. She began to cry because her husband was super sick and needed a blessing the previous night, but there was no priesthood holder around to offer a blessing. So instead she offered up a prayer that he would be alright and make it through the night. Later her son was able to give him a blessing. And he isn´t dead, so everything is going pretty good. So the Spirit is real and knows what people need to hear!
We took a few random shots before we left the CCM. Check out the Villahermosa Facebook page and see I'm on the cover photo!!! How cool is that! 

It is kind of crazy to talk about investigators and stuff because I don´t know which investigator to talk about. These people are so ready to hear the gospel, and as a mission we are supposed to have 12 new investigators a week with 10 investigators having a date for baptism. Sooo yeah. They are all doing well. Working on making sure we have investigators that will progress and stay in the church. And making sure those less actives get active again. Busy busy.

Love you all! Grateful for little things! Like coco-cola. These people bleed coco-cola. I love it haha

Hasta proxima semana! 

Love, Hermana Roe

May 13, 2019 Happy Monday Everyone! And happy final week of the mission to me!!! So here's the thing: this is my last letter from the mission field. Next Monday, I'll be traveling to the mission offices in Villa, and Tuesday morning I'm off. Gone. Ouch, it hurts just thinking about it. Let me explain why: A perfect example: Sunday. Yesterday, I really felt the meaning of the hymn, "I Stand All Amazed". First, because Hilaria was baptized! She met the hermanas about 10 months ago, and we had actually left her, because I thought that she would never get around to it. But we felt like we needed to darle una vuelta, so we did. And she told us that it was time, she was ready to get baptized. I thought, "HA! Será. We´ll find out." Very quickly we were able to notice that the Spirit had been working on her. So on Sunday, she got baptized.  Just imagine it. Sitting in sacrament meeting, among members and families that I know and love. On one b...

Patience is a heavenly virtue

May 6, 2019 Happy Monday everybody! Can I just say, the Lord is so good to us? He really is. And I love Him. This past week, I was studying and thinking about what I should develop of the Christlike attributes. You already know, when we ask God what we need to improve or change, He lets us know pretty quickly.  So I am trying to develop more patience. I like it, it is very closely related with faith and hope. At the end of my study, I prayed for the opportunity to develop patience.  HE ANSWERED. Splits with Herbertson! So great! This week, it was hot.  This week, it was very, very, hot. It was also the "Día del Niño" so everybody was out and about partying, just like the past 2 weeks. So there weren't very many people available.  We planned well, but the backups to the backups fell. People that were going to get baptized suddenly had to suspend our visits, and people that were going to come to church never showed up. I may or may not h...

Just Keep Swimming

Hola Family, Swimming in rain. Just for a couple of days. But SO much. I think that for a moment God was tempted to send another flood. Can´t say I blame him. Happy Monday! Today (as is everyday) was an expierience. We went to Palenque today (it is only about an hour away) to play sports with a couple of other zones. Super fun! It is hilarious. Because there are all these latinos who are born with a soccer ball in their hand... and then there is the crazy American running around like a pollo sin su cabeza. All of the Elders now know to fear me and my mad soccer and bball skills. haha Gotta love me a coke down here in Mexico!!! Life is good! Working hard down here. I was so happy this past week because we had an awesome lesson with our fecha, Elizabeth. I felt the strongest impression during the lesson to tell her that she is loved. So I told her that God loved her. After, we had her pray and we asked her how she felt. She said she couldn´t explain, she felt like cryin...
