Hola a todos!
Disculpenme por tardar en escribirles.
We had a bit of a miscommunication this morning...ha. But no worries,
all is well. It is just that our Zone Leaders don't listen very well. So,
we traveled to Chihuahua this morning for a meeting that was just for
elders. HA! But it was really funny when we walked in and saw the faces
of all the elders.
Okay, so earlier this week
we had a meeting with President and they showed us this amazing video.
It is called "Butterfly Circus" y'all have to look it up. It really was
used to teach us about our potential, our gifts, but more than anything
how we need to be self sufficient.
I have
pondered a lot this week because I hit 8 months. That is the strangest
thing, by the way. Someone told me, "Hey, you are almost half way done" and I was like, NO! Really, being in the mission has taught me so much. I
love it. I have learned to leave my comfort zone and that was not
something I ever did before, ha. I have seen what the Gospel can do and I
cant imagine who I would be without these experiences.
Actually,
the other day I had an awesome experience. We got home from Chihuahua
at about 7:30 and we enter the house at 8:30. We were really tired and
honestly it would have been so easy to just end the day. But that day
Presidente taught us about repentance and it really made me think about
my time here and my purpose. And I could not stay in the house. We left
and got to work. Honestly, we didn't see miracles. We didn't accomplish a
whole ton. But I felt a joy that was so sweet and so pure. I know that
in that small act, I fulfilled my purpose and I made my Heavenly Father
proud. And that is a joy that I want to feel every day of my life.
I
love the mission. I love the Gospel. These days are limited. Actually,
we did the math the other day. We have 13,920 hours to be missionaries.
In all of eternity, we only have those few hours. And I don't want to
lose or waste a single one.
I love y'all!

P.S.
Hermano Duran is so great. This week he gave us his famous hamburgers
and called us just to tell us that he loves us, ha. Oh, and Ramona and
her family are going to get baptized this week. They aren't my
investigators, but I have a special connection with Ramona. I love her,
ha. Oh, also, I have a great fear that I will have transfers this next week.
