Hello lovely friends and family of mine!

| Hermana Rodriguez and me |
Can you all believe we are now in February?! I can't. It's just a little
(very) crazy. And there are a ton of activities in these next days in February so
it will go by in a blink of an eye! This week really there wasn't anything
extraordinary. A very normal week. And I mean super normal...or maybe I'm just
used to all of the crazy things haha. It's been a good week with Hna Rodriguez.
We get along very well. That is the biggest blessing of all time. We are working
hard to find new people. We are trying new things so we can see new results. It
can be rough sometimes when we have to look and look and look, but I know we are
going to find people that are ready to follow our Savior. People that are ready
to change. People that want to live with God again. They're out there. No matter
where we are or who we are with, we can be lead to these people :)
This week was full of organizing the exchanges with the sisters for this
cycle, a trip to immigration so we can all be legal again,and leadership
council. Just the norm haha. This week we also had difficulties with our water.
Let me tell you, water problems are the worst!!! I bet you parents our there
know whats up. How is it possible that something we need to survive could cause
so many problems?! It doesn't make sense. Anyway, here in mexico everyone has a
giant water tank on top of the house. There were some technical difficulties
with getting the water to go up and then when we got that fixed....lets just say
it didn't come out crystal clear. It might have been a little (very) dirty in
the water tank. No worries...no one in mexico drinks tap water. But we do
shower and wash dishes and clothes with that water....so it was important to
clean the tank immediately. We have some great elders that came and climbed onto
the roof and cleaned it all out. It took them a few hours but what good sports!!
They didn't even say one bad thing about it. We now have crystal clean water!
It's the small but big acts of kindness that really help me realize what it
means to be a representative of Christ.
There was nothing else super huge that happened. On Sunday I shared my
testimony in sacrament meeting. I would like to share it with you as well.
It's one of my favorite parts about being a missionary. I can testify of the
truthfulness of the gospel everyday. But can we not all do that? I know that God
lives. I know He is a loving heavenly father that will guide us every single
day. He listens to our prayers. He knows the deepest desires of our heart. The
gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored and Christ himself is the head of this
church. If we have faith, repent daily, renew our covenants every Sunday through
the sacrament, and endure to the end, we will live happily in the presence of
God. The atonement is real. Jesus is the Christ and he lives!
I love you all!!!! Thank you for all the support, prayers and love :)
