I Love to see the Temple!!!!!

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 can, we just have to do what the Lord asks us to do! Make and keep sacred covenants. Also, the person we contacted last week that has their baby in the hospital also received us and we taught about the plan. Truly it helps us to adjust our perspective and understand that there is so much more than what this world can give us.
Ferry ride back to our area after District meeting
A rare moment to relax!!!
Our visit with Hermana Emma!
Love her!!!!

Just to finish up, I loved a scripture I read this week in D&C 58:2-4. I have a testimony that as we continue being obedient even through tribulations, the sun comes out and prayers are answered. I love you all! I invite you to find new ways to live this gospel this week. Until next Monday!
Love you,
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...
