It's like I've known you before.....

February 4, 2019

 Happy Monday everybody! This week was a busy busy week which is just the best. There were so many awesome and crazy things that happened that as we were trying to figure out what we were going to say to our families today, I had no clue where to start! So I guess I will have to tell you guys about the stuff that most recently happened. :)
An adorable little puppy I fell in love with!


Yesterday was Sunday and it is my favorite day. Varinia and her family came to church again, as well as Cornelio! So great to be with them, they are progressing great. We went in the evening with Varinia and had a great lesson. Pretty intense. And with them, the Spirit is always just so strong. I love this family so much. We were talking about bapstism, because Varinia is afraid. Of course, it is a big change. But vale la pena. And at the end of the lesson, they were about to give us a ride home, and she says, "It's like I've known you guys before." This really sank in, because this isn't the first time we have talked about this. They were telling us that they haven't gotten this far before with the missionaries, and that everything feels different. I know that everybody has their time, and this is their time. Who knows if they will take it, but it is their time. 

I don't know if they will make these sacred covenants with God, but I do know that Hermana Miranda and I had to find this family. This is our family. This is my place.
We learned to make Tamales,YAY!

It is always worth it. It really is. Sometimes I start to feel tired or just want to curl up and not leave the house, but I remember (or the Spirit reminds me, más bien) that all this is worth it. Why? We are engaged in the work of the Almighty God. Ask Him about it. 

I love you all! Good news, I learned how to make tamales today! It was a blast. Also atole and tortitas de elote. Super yummy. Don't worry, I took notes. We've gotta make it someday. Love 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...
