Mi familia!
Well life is
great, and mission life is even better. And that is real. I am never
coming home. We had another amazing week, and I am just too happy.
Maria,
Keyla, and Ester got baptized on Friday! And after much preparation
everything went relatively smoothly, and it ended up being beautiful.
They are just so prepared, and excited and happy, and it was just
perfect. They were only a little bit nervous, but mostly just so
happy. It is just so fun to be a missionary and watch people change,
watch them become happy, watch them to become more like Christ. I am so
lucky. We also had a ton of support from the ward, they fit right in.
Afterwards we had to have a fiesta, claro, and everyone had a great
time. Sunday we did have a little scare when they were 10 mins late and
almost missed getting the Holy Ghost, but all is well, they have been
confirmed!
We had a couple of exchanges this
week which was all kinds of fun. I felt like I learned so much from
working with all kinds of different sisters. I just felt like I had no
reservations, and just helped them do work, and we saw all kinds of
miracles. I stayed here with an English sister and all day we just had
miracle after miracle, and I kept having to translate for the cute
sister so she could see how awesome God is! We knocked into this guy
who was almost baptized a couple years ago in New Jersey, but they had
to suddenly move and lost contact with the missionaries. I asked him if
he wanted to be baptized now and he said yes, so sweet.
This
weekend we started out Book of Mormon read-a-thon, and things are going
great! We decided to read out loud together to avoid falling asleep,
which proved to be a great idea. It is fun too because then we can
discuss what is going on and figure everything out. There is a lot of
things that I did not know about the Book of Mormon! I am learning so
much. It is neat to be able to read is really fluidly, just going
straight through, I have been able to make a lot more connections. I
have been marking all of the scriptures that refer to Christ, his
atonement, his qualities, ect., and it has been an amazing experience.
The Book of Mormon really is just another testament of Jesus Christ, of
his divinity, and the Plan that God has for us. The idea is that after
the whole mission reads the whole Book of Mormon that missionary work
will just explode, and I think it will. I am just so grateful for this
opportunity that I have to grow my testimony and to keep learning.
ALSO
huge miracle. We have been visiting Darlin and Yuleli's family, my
cute recent converts, and they are really coming around. When the girls
got baptized last year Jose, their dad started coming back to church,
and now their mom is starting to come back too! They told us last night
that they are preparing to go to the temple. They know that it is a
huge commitment, but they are getting excited! We had the best family
home evening with them.
So all in all I am
happy, and being a missionary is the best thing that I ever decided to
do. But seriously, whoa. Me and the Mana Rosen are just having the
best time, working hard, and laughing every day until we die. So life
is great. ALSO the women's broadcast was my favorite, we have the best
church/leaders ever. I love you all, have the best week!
