Texas is Gods Country


  • 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! :)
