Happy Monday!

This week was absolutely crazy amounts of heat, but it was great! Something super amazing happened!

A couple of weeks ago we were just walking away from contacting Guadalupe (email from last week) and when we reached the corner of the street and young man and his sister approached us, saying, "Hermanas!" They introduced themselves to us, saying htat they were inactives. Their names are Wilbert and Isabel. This week we went to visit them, and you guys, this family is pure gold. It is literally meant to be. We had to find them. or i guess that they found us. They are amazing! We talked and talked! They used to get visits form the elders, back when this area was just for elders. 
Looking good on pday!
Hermana Luna and me. She lives in the same place as Brenna.
But it has been a few months, almost a year, since they received a visit. The other kid in the family is named Ricardo, and he turns 9 years old next Monday. We are looking forward to working with this family and helping Ricardo prepare for his baptism!It was crazy, an RM facetimed with them when we were there, so we got to say hey! Later we ate together and just enjoyed getting to know this wonderful family. So excited to see them again this week!
Love working together with Hermana Tovalino! Such a wonderful experience!

I know that God leads our footsteps. That he will always guide us, and give us innumerable amounts of blessings for every step we take just trying to be a little bit more like his son Jesus Christ. The church is true, and this is the work of God. how blessed I am to be a part of it. I love you all! Happy birthday to Holland this week! Eat all of the cake for me. Until next Monday!
Safe to say Holland loved her 1st Bday!
It's my day thinks sweet Holland!

Happy Tuesday! Couldn't write on Monday, so you know what that means...I am training again! My dear Tovalino is opening area because she is absolutely amazing and so strong, so she has left her mamá here stranded on the island. ;) But yesterday I got to receive Hermana Hebertson out here! She is from Virginia and is excited to get to work. Super blessed to be with her! I had to tell her that I haven't spoken english for a solid 7 months, so sorry if my english is terrible. 
My new 'daughter' Hermana Hebertson from Virginia!
It'll be weird to speak English sometimes; haven't spoken it in 7 months!


Yesterday morning we got up super early to take a bus down to Villa to get our new companions. As we were in the bus hermana huber and hermana Villarreal (my mission moms) called me from the airport! oh how I love those hermanas. I can honestly say that I have changed and become a lot better because of them. Yesterday as we said goodbye (they both finished the mission), I felt that pure love that only comes from working alongside someboydy for weeks on end in the best work in the world. From knowing all their faults, hopes, fears, and sharing the good and bad of everyday. I am so happy for them, and grateful that I can continue here in the work for a while longer. 
Hermana Luz is so so good to us. We love her!!!

I know that God always sends miracles for all the hours of diligent work we put in. On Sunday a woman walked into the church that told us that she always passd by and it called her attention, so she wanted to come in and learn more. Many of her family are Mormon, and she likes the organization of the church. She doesn't even know it, but she is a miracle. And I am grateful for all the miracles in my life! Excited for this new cambio and for the opportunity to work hard. Have a great week and I love you!

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...
