It's Go Time

Hola everybody! Can't believe it is already monday again. Happy end of summer! haha               Aug.20,2018

This week we had a really cool experience. We had contacted somebody named Isaí 2 weeks ago with the youth for youth conference. He had given us his info, except for his street name. So I thought, ok, he doesn't want to see us again. If it is meant to be, we will see him again. Because I thought he had seemed really kind and interested.

Then, Saturday we were walking down the street and passed in front of somebody on their moto waiting to turn. We said "Buenas tardes" and continued walking. Then this person pulled out and turned, takes off his helmet and says, "Hermanas!" It was Isaí! We ran over to him and began to talk, and he was like, "Why haven't you visited me!" And I said, "Why didn't you give us the name of your street?!" haha, nobody knows what that street is called. But now we know where it is at, and now we have a friend to go and visit and invite to follow this life centered on Christ. 
Have I mentioned how much I love Sis Hurbertson?! We have a blast together!

I know that God does not let us wander astray for too long without giving us a second chance. I am continually amazed at God's love and patience with us. He loves us perfectly, and wants us to be happy. There is nothing better than coming to realize and understand that. I know that as we come to understand that perfect principle, we will understand why we have trials and why sometimes life is hard. Because God loves us, he wants us to become like Him. We live in the last dispensation of the fullness of time, that is like being in a pressure cooker! We don't have enough time to be sent out into the wilderness for 40 years like Moses and the house of Israel. Now is go time! It is time to learn quicker, repent quicker, and move forward with faith. And I know that we can do that, through the atonement of Jesus Christ. I love you all!

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...
