Hellllloooooo!
Tomorrow I have 6 months in the mission. What the heck. I
can´t believe 6 months ago I was just a little baby hermana in the MTC. Time
seriously flies. In fact, I don´t have time to give you all the fantastic
details of the last two weeks, so how about some highlights and lowlights? Sound
good?
Highlights...
- Paola and Jessica are getting baptized May 25th! We´re hoping by
the time the date rolls around, Carmen will be on board too.
- Smooy for Hermana Miron´s 18 months in the mission.
- Evelyn´s class talked about different religions and when they
got to Mormonism she stood up and said, ¨¡Soy Mormona!¨
- Having a mission-wide fast the month with the purpose of knowing
how to meet our goals. It´s incredible to know that the whole mission fasted
together for the same thing.
- Connor´s baptism on March 2nd and getting this in an email from
him: “Yesterday was the
day! I am officially a member of the Church! It was a great ceremony. I felt
the Spirit so strongly. There were probably over 100 people there and they were
all so supportive! It was a great day!”
- Eating yummy
Ecuadorian food at Elder Vélez´s aunt´s restaurant for free.
- 4 new investigators
in two days.
- President Jackson
playing the accordian for us today.
- The really spiritual
district meeting we had last week.
- An all sister
session at the temple.
- Finding out that
my girl Yo who was my roommate in Ecuador is coming to my
mission!!!
- Having dinner with Arbolina and her reading us the dedicatory
prayer for the Madrid temple - which just so happened to be dedicated on my 8th
birthday, the day before I got baptized.
- The beautiful email I got from Stephanie today saying she and
Justin are getting baptized March 30th: ¨Justin and I are
being baptized on March 30th. And we couldn't be happier. I love you so much. I
wish you could know how grateful I am for all you did for us. You may never know
fully the impact you've had on my life...not JUST because you helped get me to
baptism...but because you showed me how to love, when it's hard to love, when
its easy to love...You are amazing and beautiful and I'm so blessed to have met
you and to have shared part of this journey with
you.¨
Lowlights...
- Having to eat at
literally every house we go to when there just isn´t room.
- One of the
references we received telling us he´s not interested and not to call him back
again.
- Three days of
not being with Hermana Miron for sister exchanges
- Rain and wind
for a week straight.
I´ll be better next week.
Love,
Hermana
