Do you know how many people do that???

 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.

 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) So we passed by the next day, had a great lesson and he payed attention to legit every word, and we also got along great. He is hilarious and thinks we are too, so that's fun. Legit, when we told him to cross his arms for the prayer, he thought that meant cross them mummy-style. 
At the end of the lesson, we invited him to church and he said that he would go. I told him that now he had promised us, so if he didn't come he would owe us chips.

He came! He showed up all by himself, and waited for us outside! Do you know how many people do that?! We legit met him on Friday, and 2 days later he showed up to church! Nobody does that, that's crazy! Oh my lanta the temptation to just squeeze him tight in a hug was strong haha. Very special people are prone to do very special things.

Life is good. God is watching over us everyday. He sure does love us. I truly have a testimony that miracles exist and don't only happen because we have faith. Through our obedience and faith, great things happen.

I love you all! 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...
