Hey there again!!
Mom
I completely understand about the whole time issue. I don't think it is
quite fair that time has seemed to speed up since I have been in the
mission. I feel like with so much to do, time just gets shorter! Like
today I wanted to get so many things done, but walking just makes us
lose so much time! Well the new year came and went and I am soooo glad
that the holidays are over, but really you want to know what we did for
news years. We had to stay in the house. At 6 we normally go to work on
our P-days, but we just had to stay in the house since everyone would be
partying. I think any normal person with a normal job would be super
happy to just be in the house relaxing, but I have to say that the next
day I completely felt like I had been robbed of an entire day of my
mission. I thought...how great that we don't have anymore holidays coming
up. I don't want to be in the house!
This week was truly amazing. We still have our challenges but we have
seen so many miracles and tender mercies and are now seeing the fruits
of our labors here in our sector. I just have to say that the blessings
never come in our timing, and that we need to be patient and grateful
for all the the things that we are given from the Lord. Even our
challenges and trials. They make the tender mercies much more sweet!!
Yesterday we had 4 investigators in church. It was a challenge of
our mission President to have 4 investigators in church every Sunday
this new year. We have barely kept our heads afloat with one...but
yesterday thanks to the many prayers, fasts and sacrifices 4 our
investigators were able to enjoy the Spirit and participate in the
sacrament, at least to have an experience with the Spirit for one day in
church. It was fast and testimony meeting and it was super good as
well!! I have to say that I am the
happiest that I have ever been in my mission because I know that the
people I am teaching are truly converting to the gospel. Are reading
their scriptures because they want to, are searching for answers and
have desires to follow Christ. That is all I ask. I know they will all
be baptized in the future whether I am here or not it doesn't not matter
to me. All in the Lords timing. I just want to say that I have learned
so much about so much. I wish I could write better and faster to tell
you guys everything, but we have the eternities to talk.
I
am so excited still about Brent and I tell everyone that he is going to
serve a mission. He will be so much better than I ever was!! Tell him
that he should look at his email and write me!! I want talk to him!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!! Tell everyone Hi that I love them and FELIZ AÑO NUEVO!!!
