This week was loco, as usual. But so so so good! I love
being a missionary, I know I always say that, but it is true, it is
just the most happy thing ever.
We had an
amazing sisters meeting (where the elders are not invited and we eat
only salad for lunch and exchange clothes) all about spiritual gifts.
What they are, if we have them, how we can develop them, and so on a so
forth. There was one that has stuck out to me in particular this week,
that is the Gift of having a testimony that Jesus is the Christ. I has
never thought about it being a gift, but it makes so much sense now. I
have been studying the atonement all week (there is an awesome Ensign
issue that is all on the atonement) and I am just so grateful for the
knowledge that I have, and the opportunity to share it. The atonement
is everything, all we need, and I learned that from my Dad. I am so
grateful for you Dad, for teaching me about the atonement and giving me
the example of how to use it.
Saturday we had quite the adventure. In the morning
a little baby kitten followed us on our whole walk and back to our
house...and we had no idea what to do with it...so we called our
investigator, Waleska who has been looking for a new cat. She was so
excited and we brought it right over. But we did bring it in for about
an hour, because it wouldn't stop crying! We had to. Then we went to
Charlottesville for Hermana Hiebert. She had a taught this awesome woman
named Dalia, and so we got to go! Someone gave a talk about the Holy
Ghost and they looked her in the eyes and told her that starting
tomorrow she will never be alone again, and it just changed my
perspective on how much the Holy Ghost really does help me every day
here. We had to rush back for the ward "cookout" which was all kinds of
fun. We had an investigator there, and our cute Ruben, and we played
soccer and ate watermelon, the whole nine yards. Then Saturday night
one of our previous investigators called us to invite us to the funeral
of her premature baby. So yesterday we went, and it was a very
interesting experience. It was done in the chapel of a funeral home,
and there was a catholic pastor there, Padre Miguel, aka father Michael.
And it just felt so empty, we wanted to get up there and set all the
things straight, but you know we controlled ourselves. But we have
an appointment to see them this week, so we are excited about that.
We really have been so busy, and it is so great.
The next couple of days should be crazy, but I think maybe just the
rest of the mission is going to be crazy. I love it here. I love all
my cute people. I am happy. And this week I am grateful for trials.
They help us learn, they make us better. I love you all, you are the
best family in the world. You are all my favorites.
Besitos, Hermana Myer
