Hi
hi, fam and friends! How are all of you doing? Good from what I know of
your emails and letters! Speaking of letters.. half of the sisters of
Arbolillo wrote me this week with pictures and notes saying they miss
having me in the zone! How much do I miss my little tree-lovers!
What more can I say about the mission.. some days
are ridiculous and crazy and we are running from place to place. Other
days, there is no one to talk to or teach. We are struggling right now
to work with the members like we should be. We are trying everything we
can. People love the elders. Love love love them. So its harder for us
to get their trust. There was a sister here a few transfers ago that
wasnt really the best and so the ward doesnt enjoy sisters. We are
trying to change that! Its just super hard! Sometimes I feel like we are
just in Bene all over agian from my first transfer. We started with
NOTHING. So its building and building and building. Lots of contacting,
lots of getting shut down. Welcome to the mission!!
Not much to say after video chat.. awkward. But know
that the work is progressing here in Mexico. We as a mission are
inviting everyone we can to come unto Christ. That is our purpose. Its
hard some days. Really. Some days, ya just wanna curl up and cry! But
thats when you get on your knees and you pray. Pray for help, guidance,
for the people to understand the message you have to share.
You all know me, how much I love sugar and
especially the pan here in Mexico.. SOOOO I contacted a guy who sells
CHURROS. We have given him a Gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet, and a
Restoration. He loves what we have to say. His name is Enrique and he
just adores us. He is having really bad family problems right now, and
has been praying to God to send him a helping hand or something.. and
later.. he met us! He says we have been an answer to his prayers. It
makes me so happy! We have another appointment with him this Friday. He
knows the bible like crazy, so Hermana Rodriguez told me that he is my
investigator. I know the scriptures we need to teach him and she is lost
in all this. So Im super pumped to take the lead.
I am definitely seeing challenges for being here in
this area. President has so much faith that this ward can become
something amazing.. no pressure. We are starting from scratch. The
elders are too. God is pushing us to new limits. Its hard. Really. But,
like I said Saturday.. I love it. I love the challenges, I love all that
Im learning. I can see the lords hand in my life EVERY DAY. Its
beautiful.
The church is true. I will never doubt that. I am so
blessed to have this chance to share this amazing gift that I have in
my life.
I love you all. I miss you. Thank you for all that you do for me!
PS.. Less than a year and we will be partying in Syracuse ALL over again.. Prepare yourselves. ;)
