I can't believe that it's already MAY! Where is the time going? I feel like
yesterday was January and here we are. Everyone is finishing school and about to
summer. I hope you all are just super stoked for that! I'm pretty sure school
doesn't end until like June here and people are always working so it's pretty
much the same year round! Minus the random holidays like Día de Niño that
happened this week. Just another day and excuse to shower your kid with a bunch
of toys and to party party and PARTAAAYYYY!
Anyway, this week nothing incredibly jaw dropping. In the beginning of the
week we went on an
adventure to find a contact. She told us that she lived far
but we doubted that she really lived that far. We began this little journey and
well....yeah it was far. We entered a little store to ask where the colonia was
and she just told us "oh hunnies you are very far and you don't have anything to
protect you from the sun" She wished us luck and we headed out again. We walked
for like 40 minutes and still couldn't find the contact. We tried using our map
but nothing. Funny thing is we ended up losing that map the same day. We were
lost big time BUT! It was super fun
As I have said before (I think haha) A lot of our meals are super duper
far. Like holy smokes. But one of them this week was far and the sister was in
the middle of preparing the quinceañera of her daughter. It was like a wedding.
But a party for a 15 year old. Holy dang it was a huge deal. Well I ate
barbacoa...borrego in specific. I thought it was cow. Then one of the sister
missionaries said "no its the little animal on the cover of the restoration". I
ATE SHEEP! It was actually good so no complaints. who would've thunk.
Spiritually, well we had a baptism! His name is Leonel and his wife has
been a member for all of her life and has waited for a long time for this
moment. I didn't find him bu am happy to have been a part of this big moment.
They are going to work hard and with a lot of faith in this year so that they
can be sealed in the temple! He only had to baptized twice but he was just so
happy! And his wife as well. During the interview practice (which are my
favorite lessons) he gave testimony of every question and I could just see his
change and conversion. What a blessing it is to be a witness to incredible
change! We work so closely with these people and you cant help to just love them
and their families!
I know that this week there was a great end to it. It was a rough week but
we worked through it. Sister Egbert sent us a text that said "sometimes God puts
a Goliath in your life so that you can find the David within" It touched my
heart that even though we experience these hard times, God is helping us become
stronger and find how we can change to become the person he wants us to be! I
love this work with all of my heart and know this is the only true church on the
face of the earth. LOVE YOU ALL!!!
