Happy New Year! 2019!!!

Happy New Year and Happy Monday! We have had a wonderful week! 
Reading my new B of Mormon and journaling!
This is Paloma! She is so Wonderful!!!


I just wanted to mention a couple of people that we have met and love working with. 
First is Paloma! She is an amazing person who works with members. They have been inviting her to church, and she has now come 2 Sunday's in a row! She absolutely loves learning. This Sunday she told us she wasn't sure if she was going to come, but she decided to because she feels good there. She is very receptive to the Spirit! Sometimes it's as simple as that, saying, "I know that it´s the right thing, so I am going to do it!"

On Jan 6th, there's a celebration here. They bake thick loaves of bread and bake
little white dolls inside. Then each cuts a slice of bread, and if you get the white doll you
have to bring tamales for everyone to the next party! I didn't get a white doll this time
but I did last time!!!!
Boy hitting piñata! So fun.


And second is Horacio! We met him on new year's day, He talked to us in the street, and we have been able to go and teach him a couple of times now. He also has great comprehension. He came on Sunday, and loved it! Everybody was giving their testimonies, and he asked us if we were going to. He said, "If you go, I will follow you." So I said, "Vamos!" I got up and bore my testimony, and he did too! It was so sweet to hear, "Thank you to Hermana Roe and Hermana García for visiting me." And he loved participating in class. He told me he was nervous because he wanted to participate. He just loves the gospel. 

God truly is preparing people to receive His gospel. That is true. His invitation to all is, "Come, follow me." The road may be long, but we do not walk it alone. This year, we must come to Him and follow Him. I love Him! And I love all of you. Have a great week!

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...
