This week has been emotionally crazy! We
have had our highs and our lows. It has been all over the place. I'll
start with the highs of the roller coaster and then I'll get to the
lows...
The highs: well, I'm writing my
favorite people right now and I have seen some great pictures that have
made me smile :D Thank you! Another high is that we spent some time with
the other sisters today and went to eat Mexican Chinese food. I ordered
a "Mexican Sushi"... and it had bacon. Oh yes.
Another
high is that we have been working a lot with the young adults in the
yard and we have found many of their friends to teach! The young adults
are going to have a convention with all the youth in the mission the 16-19th of December and we have a few investigators going, I am so excited for them! All the the young adults were as anxious as we were on Sunday
morning, hoping everyone would come. They were also as happy as we were
when they came :) I love working with the members! We have a group of 2
returned missionaries and 2 that are waiting for their mission calls,
and it has been a blast working with them.
Another
high is that we have had some pretty amazing Family Home Evening with
the members and with our investigators, especially with Esperanza,
Kitzia, and Yavel. We have been helping get everyone ready to enter the
temple in December and focusing on the family history of the members and
our investigators. It has been so much fun!
Another high is that we went to Obregón on Friday
for a meeting and I got to see some of the great friends of the
mission! I can't believe that time has been moving by so fast for all of
us! We have all changed so much!
And now, our sad low: The brother of a family I helped enter the waters of baptism passed away on Saturday and they are all VERY sad. We didn't find out until Sunday
evening and we were with them for a while helping out. The ward leaders
were notified and we held a service in the church just before I started
writing you guys. It has been pretty crazy. Everyone was saying
Catholic prayers in the front room on Sunday...
while the Elders and the members of the ward were in the back room with
la Familia Duarte, giving priesthood blessings and singing hymns. It
was a big contrast, and let me say that the spirit was felt VERY
strongly in the back room.
I love being part
of this gospel! We have had so many opportunities to share the gospel
and to share the plan of salvation this week. I am so happy knowing that
I am sealed to a family that loves me and it comforts me to know that I
will see ALL my family members again in the next life. I have never
been happier and I hope that we can share this happiness with EVERYONE!
Because everyone needs to hear this message of joy :)
I
love you all! Please pray for Esperanza! She wants to get baptized but
is having trouble getting the permission from her husband. We need to
see a miracle and a change of heart! We're going to have a family home
evening tonight with them and a member. Your prayers are much appreciated!!!
