Shall I falter or Do I Finish?

Hello All,                                                                                                                   February 5, 2018

 I want to share a quick experience that happened last Monday evening. We were with Guadalupe, Gabriela, and Guadalupe. (One Guadalupe is a guy, the other is a girl.) It was a wonderful lesson, the Spirit was so strong. At the end of the lesson, we asked Guadalupe, (the guy) to help us with the prayer. He was so nervous, and so we helped him with the prayer. Even though he was just repeating the words that H. Huber whispered to him, the Spirit was unbelievable. God LOVES to hear from His children. La verdad. I got to help Gabriela, his girlfriend, the next lesson. People, don´t forget to pray. Heavenly Father is waiting to hear from you, He wants to know how you are doing. Keep on praying. 
Dinner with Guadalupe!!!

In this life, we are meant to progress. We will experience growing pains because of that. There are a lot of times when I want to kick against the pricks and not accept change. But sometimes you just have to embrace it. Decide that you are going to make the best of it. 
It will not be easy. It will be really, really hard. And scary. 
When Jesus Christ went into the garden, He was alone. Even His faithful apostles couldn´t stay awake. His cry for help was answered by the knowledge that there was no other way. Not around, above, or beneath. Only through. 
Made our own dinner!!! So great!!!
Chicken and Tortilla.....the best food ever!
Elder Cardenas peaking out!
We are so blessed, because we do not have to face that same kind of struggle. We are never alone. When we face who we are, or what we are dealing with head on, we open the floodgates for the blessings, love, and support of God.

God lives. He has walked upon the very dirt that I now tread day in and day out. Let us all press forward. Cara arriba! Love you all! Que tengan una bonita semana!

Adios,
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...
