Wow! Another week? Time doesn't slow down for anyone, does it? This week
was great. Sometimes it's hard to remember what happened because what I would do
in 3 days at home happens in one day here! I love it! It keeps me going and I
love the feeling of being tired, because I know I worked hard that day. The best
part about this week was when we had a baptism. My first one! Oh wow it was
great. Maria de la Luz is an absolutely outstanding lady. She said after the
baptism "I feel clean!" It's moments like that that makes me feel like I have
made a difference. I know I didn't find her, but I actually ate at her house my
first night in the field. I can use her as a progress scale. I didn't have a
clue what she was saying when I first met her, but now, I understand so much
more! The Gift of Tongues is amazing. Hermana Maria de la Luz also wanted to
pay her tithing that next Sunday too! WOW! Talk about a dedicated member! I feel
very blessed to be in this area. The members are just outstanding. We have a ton
of support from them, and they are always willing to accompany us on
appointments.
Like I said, Spanish is coming along. If I don't understand why
they are laughing, I just laugh with them. Happiness is easy to understand.
Finding new investigators has been a tad rough. We thought we found some great
people, but when we returned there wasn't anyone there. That can be frustrating
sometimes. Hermana Ojeda had the idea to have a companionship fast on Sunday.
After we started our fast, I saw a HUGE difference. I felt the spirit more
strongly. Fasting has always had a special place in my heart and testimony.
A
highlight of my week was that I had my first bike crash. I didn't get hurt, so
no worries there. I just laughed because of how funny it probably looked to
everyone else. You always have to find the funny things in every situation! I
also ate helado frito...fried icecream. Talk about DELICIOUS!!!!
My comp and I
decided to start running in the mornings. It feels painful but very great after
haha. Thanks for everything and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! I am grateful for all of
you! I would say to eat a lot of food for me but everyday is like thanksgiving
with the amount of food mexicans give you!
LOVE YOU GUYS!
Hermana Cross
