It is always so good to hear from you!
The gospel is still true, and we are all still alive, and mostly that
is what is important.
We had another emotional week, I guess every week is
probably going to be like this...I feel like life is more concentrated
on my mission. There are lots of things that I do not have to worry
about, but there are a lot of things that I have to face, work on,
improve...etc. It is the best!
Last p-day we had a zone p-day, which was the best
of times. We played capture the flag, kickball, and tag ALL day long.
We were all exhausted after, literally we were all sore the next day.
Mostly I just love to have time to run around outside, be normal for a
second. We have some really awesome missionaries here, just really good
little guys.
Halloween was good times. We had to come in at 6,
so we got all of our treats together, colored (I, Mom, had sent her a
Disney Princess coloring book in Spanish so they could have a Halloween
coloring contest!), made pumpkin bread, and watched Legacy! Hurray! We
also had a visit from our district leader, which was a lovely suprise.
They brought us candy! We have SO MUCH candy!
On Friday
Hermana Sevilla and I gave a training at zone meeting. I was really
nervous about it, but we were prepared to give it. We talked about
patience and motivation. The few days before the training we had been
having a rough time. Things just weren't working out, we weren't
getting along, just rough. But our experiences helped us to be able to
train. It was a really neat experience. I shared a little analogy that
I came up with. So the few days before were just weird. We got
dropped by an investigator, told we were condemned, told that God only
forgives 7x70, we got chased by a dog, everything was just out of
control. We got into the car and I asked Hermana Sevilla what we should
do next, and without hesitation she said "get ice cream, the only
option is to get ice cream". So we went downtown to Klines! As I was
sitting there eating my pumpkin ice cream, the sun was shinning, there
were pretty flowers, and butterflies, and we were just happy. I
realized, there is always ice cream, Klines is always just down town.
The ice cream is like the savior, like his atonement. Our lives may be
crazy, but there is always goodness in the world, we just need to
recognize it, seek it. Much like the atonement, Christ is always
waiting for us, all we have to do it decide that enough is enough, and
we are going to drive down town, and partake of his goodness. Life is
hard, we have trials, but Christ is always good, we choose to accept his
atonement.
I have learned so much this past week, this past
five months really, sometimes is makes my head hurt. But I am so
grateful to be here, to be learning, to be growing. I love love love
every thing about being a missionary. Also I am really starting to
understand spanish now, and it is the BEST! I love my Savior, and all
of you!
