April 28, 2014

This week was so great! Man so many things going on! I learned quite a bit, one thing being to have patience with myself We had a great moment later this week too. We went to visit an investigator, and she has cancer. THis day was a really hard day for her, we arrived right after she got back from the hospital. So we just read some of our favorite chapters from the Book of Mormon to her and sang our favorite hymns and the Spirit was just so strong. I remembered what I had forgotten amidst all the craziness here: the reason why I came on the mission. To help people feel the love of God in their lives. It felt so good to sing to her and help her feel a little better.And now I have so much more motivation to give my all here! every day is a struggle but just like the kelly clarkson song What doesn´t kill you makes you stronger!!! STAND A LITTLE TALLER!

We had so many less actives in church yesterday whoohoo!!!! And a baptism of one of the Elder´s investigators! And a stake youth activity! We had people from Roca, my first area, come! SO I got to see some familiar faces! That was fun! The youth came to help us teach the less actives! Even though it ended up being twenty minutes instead of the three hours that it was planned to be, it was still great and I think the less actives that we were able to visit were really touched.. I gave one of the talks for the baptism...not going to lie I was a little stressed for that! But everything turned out good in the end.

Some more news of the week...we got new dirt on our roads!!! Hahaha the rain had kinda destroyed our roads here, and one day hermana strickler and i were walking and we came to a new, smooth, dirt road and we were like WOAH. (picture the scene in Cars as they drove down their new road). It was amazing! So nice to walk on. After a couple minutes we realized that we were so excited over a little dirt road and just started dying. Man it´s going to be such a culture shock when we return! Not that I´m thinking about that. But still.

Anyways! I hope you all have a fantastical week! And are able to do the little things every day in order to feel God´s love for you! Because He loves you a LOT and wants to bless you in so many ways. We just have to open ourselves to Him. How can you come closer to God this week?

CHAO!
