Miracle at 4 o'clock por favor

  Hope everyone is enjoying the snow! We are sweltering down here as usual. This past week consisted of a lot of walking, working, walking and working. Lucky for us the two go together perfectly!

First things first, shoutout to the Herzog fam! I was looking at a map of the area here and there is a street names Jesus Silva Herzog! Haha I showed my compa and she was like, "Herzog? Que tipo de nombre es eso?" And I was like, homie, the best kind of name. So be proud Herzog fam, Mexico named a calle after you!
3 friends all serving missions!!! Emily is in Argentina, Josh is in Mexico in Bren's mission!
They haven't seen each other yet!!!

Also, a few days ago our power went out. I was like, no manches, we need our power on to survive! We opened up the power box in the front room area and out fell a fat gecko. And our power came back on. He did it again the following night at 12:30. (We named him Luz, seemed fitting.) Some geckos just don't know when to stop.

One day we were planning everything out and had a gap in our day at about 4. We didn't know what to do, so we just planned to have a miracle at 4. Later on we were looking for a certain street that we weren't sure about. We ended up talking/contacting a woman named Mari. She was absolutely enamored about the idea of missionaries. We talked for a long time. By the time we left, it was 15 minutes past 4! Our miracle was right on schedule. We have eaten with her a couple of times, and she even offered up a space in her home for us to move into. Haha we ran into her in the street when we were walking home one evening in the Corregidora (our street) and she hugged and kissed us and told us to call her as soon as we got home. Bless her, she is like a long lost great-aunt or something.
Miracles still occur in our day!!!

I have loved getting to see how the Holy Ghost works with different people. We always ask how they feel after we talk about the first vision. They always say that they feel good, peace. I love watching their eyes during it. You can tell when they recognize it as the truth. These people are so ready. We are working hard tilling up the ground. One girl, se llama Ceclali, said the moment that we started explaining Jose Smith and the first vision, "So the true church is the one that Jose established?" Of course we went on to explain that it is actually Jesus Christ's church, and that Jose Smith was a prophet, but yeah, she was ready.

We are scheduled to have Isis baptized this Saturday! Getting excited. She is beyond ready. Already completed some expierences in faith, in her personal progress. Woohoo! 

I love you all! God loves all His children un buen. He knows where, how, who, and why we are what we are. His timing is perfect. I can't understand it, but I can sure be grateful for it, verdad?

Hasta proxima semana! 😘

Love you,
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...
