Miracles in Mexico

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...

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...

March 3, 2019 Happy Monday everybody!! Hope everybody is doing just dandy. This week we basically just worked like crazy ladies and found some great people to teach! One of them is super super awesome, Jesús. Oh my lantaaaa you guys, I just love how we find these people in the most random ways. Haha we were looking for a street and asking someone for help. But here, once you ask someone, pretty soon all the neighbors are outside too, trying to help. So a guy a few houses down yelled out the direction and we kept going. We passed by for his house and started to chat and contact him. We explained that we were preaching the gospel, and he said that he would like it if we would teach his son. Hermana Benevides and me  So in that same moment he went and legit woke his son up (who was taking his afternoon nap/siesta) and he comes out to meet up. Poor kid, could barely walk straight he was so tired. He is 19 years old, and he accepted an appointment for the next day. (Saturday...

April 29, 2019 Happy Monday again! I hope that everyone is doing just great. This week was pretty awesome, because I got to go to the temple!! WOOHOO can I get a round of applause? What a blessing to be able to attend the temple here in Villahermosa before I leave the mission field!!!! That was just the best. There is such a beautiful spirit there, and as we were walking up to the temple and I could see the angel moroni peek out from behind the buildings, I couldn't help but smile. Then, to make it even better this week, we got to teach of bunch of lessons about the Plan of Salvation!! There isn't anything much better than that, ya know?  Lunch with all Hermana's at District meeting Teaching the plan of Salvation is so awesome!!! On Sunday, we got to go teach a family (Wilbert and Martha and their 3 kids) and we taught the plan, and I just loved being able to promise and testify to them that their family and be together forever! It really truly ca...
