Know it, Live it, Love it

April 15, 2019

 Happy Monday everybody! I don't know how it is even possible that time continues to fly by so fast. 

I don't have that much time today, but I did want to experience a small little experience that we had this week! This week we have been working like crazy with the members and friends to meet new people that would like to change their lives through the gospel. One night, we were teaching the most adorable kid, Ernesto. And we asked him if he could present us with any of his friends that live in the same apartment building. He got so excited and practically ran out the door to go and find his friends. We went with 3 of them, one wasn't home, the others didn't want anything, and the last one were walking out of their house. We met them, (the parents) and put an appointment for a couple of days later. Their names a Wilbert, Martha, and Carlos.

We got to go and teach them, I loved being with their entire family! The dad was especially interested in our message, and I felt the Spirit so strongly as I got to testify to the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Honestly, there is nothing better than this. Just sitting there, explaining the first vision, (which always brings the Spirit) and testifying that in that moment is when God began to open the heavens and the gospel began being restored, by Joseph Smith.

I really truly know that Joseph was a prophet, that the Book of Mormon is true, and that all those who seek God will find Him. I can testify to it because I have lived it. I invite all of you find a way to share your testimony, and you will see, just like I saw with Wilbert, this desire to find out for themselves if it really is true. Their lives, and your lives, will change. 

I love you all! Have just the best week! 

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...
