tan lines... and .... my hammac!!!!!!!!! |
It
looks like you all had a blast on Thanksgiving!!! We didn't do anything
super fun; well I went to Juichitan for the last time (to see the doctor), so I guess that
was a fun little ´break´. I got some pretty neat stuff that you will all
be able to see in 4 months! :) hahaha or maybe I will tell about some of
them at Christmas.... :)
All of the boys have changed so much!!! STOP GROWING UP!!!!!!!!
Well,
this week we worked super hard. Every night we came home soooo tired
and basically just fell asleep. I didn't and don't know the area really
well--the streets and everything--so it has been a fun adventure to try
and find places, but we have taken advantage of this and contacted SOOO
many people! Yesterday we were 6 lessons short of reaching our mission
goal, and so we spent the whole afternoon looking for people to teach,
and were seriously guided by the Spirit to some wonderful people!!! We
reached our goal and found some new people who are interested in
learning!!!
We had 5 people make it to church with us, and are
starting to get a lot of help from the members here. Hermana M
and her husband picked up 4 of them!!! and we went by another investigator's house and he was ready to go! I am so thankful for the blessings that
come when we do what the Lord asks! Hermana Diaz is such a delight! I
love working with her; we have our differences, but she is so wonderful
and honestly we have the best study sessions together!!!!!!
from my study this morning.... Alma 29!!!!!!! |
I
am so thankful to be a missionary!! I am sad honestly that I only have 3
transfers left... I am going to be home soooo soon!!!!!! I hope to go
home different then I was when I started my mission. I hope to be an
instrument in God's hands always!!!!!!!!!!

When I saw your Spanish scriptures all marked up, it made me wonder if reading the scriptures in another language brings new understanding of the gospel. I know that what is happening in our lives brings new insight, but I wondered if reading them in a different language adds a whole new dimension to the written word?
ReplyDeleteYES! I am learning SOOOOOOOO Much more!!! I absolutely LOVE studying in Spanish. I honestly KNOW that I will know Spanish better than English when I go home!!!!!!
