- Helloooooooo!
- Well this week I had to have a little procedure thing done (I'm all
- good) but I had some anesthesia and I guess I told all the nurses that
- Texas is God's country. So there you have that haha! It must be
- true....
- This week was busy, successful and a ton of fun!! Sister Urbina's
- birthday was this week!! We were able to celebrate and do a few fun
- things :)
- I feel like I'm super bad about writing out what happened throughout
- my week, it's just kinda hard to remember haha. Well, we have 2 people
- on date for baptism, they are both really great people and I've
- enjoyed being able to teach them. We were also blessed with the
- ability of talking to so many people this week. Sometimes it's hard
- just walking up to a random person on the street, but after you do it
- (whether they reject you or not) you feel like you've accomplished
- something! Faced your fear, whatever you feel. But, I personally feel
- like I tried my best and that's all that Heavenly Father asks of us.
- We did some street contacting this week, visited a few less active
- members, and taught a lot of new investigators!!
- We had a zone meeting on Friday, I love my zone we all get along so
- well and we have a great time at these meetings. I really enjoy being
- able to go to big meetings like this because I learn so much. We
- talked about what we need to do, as missionaries, to increase our own
- spiritual- ness. What motivates us!!! I feel like that's been an on
- going subject, but it's helped me a lot because I always have to find
- something that motivates me. On Saturday our stake president had the
- zone over for breakfast, we were able to say goodbye to the
- missionaries going home and to get to know the new stake president
- more! It was really fun, and really nice of them to have us over :)
- Sunday was fast Sunday. I love fast Sunday, because I get to hear
- everyone's testimonies!! We were able to have a lesson with Chris,
- (our recent convert) and he is on fire!! He taught US this time. It
- was awesome :)
- I feel like on my mission I've had a lot of epiphanies, or a lot of
- insight to certain subjects. It's actually really awesome because I've
- started to understand and realize more and more things. I was talking
- to sister Urbina about this a couple of nights ago, and I realized
- that my mission is the best year and a half for my life. I've grown to
- really love teaching, something that I wasn't extremely good at
- before. I've grown a lot in the gospel, something I wasn't super
- educated on before but I knew it was true. And I've just grown a lot
- as a person. I've only been out 6 months, but I think I've been taught
- so much in such a short period of time. I have a year left folks!!
- It's going to go by so fast, I need to make the most of my time out
- here. I love where I'm at now, and I hope that it will just keep
- getting better from here.
- In the morning we study for 3 hours, which I love because it allows me
- to read the Book of Mormon, plan for my discussions, and grow closer
- to our savior. I've been able to read a lot about hope and faith this
- week. On Sunday we had a lesson on hope and our teacher gave us a
- really neat quote!
- "Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey towards it, casts the
- shadow of our burden behind us"
- What do you think of that?? Let me know!!
- I miss and love you all! :)
Till next week
