Never Gonna Forget It

Happy Monday everybody!                                                                                        June 10,2018

 And happy final week of cambios! (Transfers) This week was a good one. The power went out for more than 30 hours in the entire island, so we were really toasty down here. Haha but the important part is that we lived. And the entire island was blacked out so we got to see the stars super clear!
What a beautiful day! Never gonna forget these boys saluting me from the font!

Thankfully the church has a great backup generator, so we were able to have the baptism of the 3 Ricardos! They were super excited, and it was nothing short of a miracle. They are part of the family of 7, we are hoping that all goes well with the parents getting married within the next couple of weeks and taking this awesome step like their kids have done. Literally so much has been going against this family, so we are so happy that they were able to make this step!
Gotta be one of my favorite pictures of Bren so far!

Just wanted to say, people, put your trust in the word of God; not the word of Facebook. Or insta, or snapchat, or whatever app in out there right now. The opinions of the world almost cost this family their happiness. But we were blessed to have been able to pass by their house and talk to Flor, the mamá, and tell her exactly that. And we waited for them as they hurried to get dressed to go get baptized. God knows us and wants the best for us, but we have to do what is necessary to get the things out of our lives that take us far from Him. I invite everyone to join in on the 7 day fast from the apps. The Prophet already invited us. I am going on almost 7 months of fasting from my phone, and I have never been happier or healthier in all my life. I love you all! 
Look at this huge snake!!! Don't worry, it's dead Mom!

Going to miss Hermana Rodriguez so much!!!!
LOVE HER!!!!



Never forget what is true happiness, helping others (and yourself) to come unto Christ. Never gonna forget little Ricardo de Jesús waving and saluting us from the baptismal font. Keep on keeping on! Love you!

So grateful we got to go to the temple because Hermana Perez is finishing up her mission! And it was her birthday!
Love,
Hermana Brenna 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...
