Making the Happy Life.

It's been a trying week, but yet super refining.

I've come to discover that Satan just rages on missionaries when it comes close to departure time. I certainly don't blame him. I feel that that's especially the time where one just wants to give all they possibly can before time runs out. At least, that's what's been happening to me. The neat thing is that I've felt so much love from so many people. Even those from back home without them knowing they have. 

  

 

I just love our mission President and his wife! They just LOVE the missionaries, and do so much for us. I remember giving him a call and asking him for help to comfort me after my companion had done what she could, and he and Sister Dymock immediately had us over at their house and helped me. He gave me an incredible blessing, and it was just awesome how in tune he is to the Spirit, and how good he is at radiating Christ-like love to us! I felt God's love so strong through that blessing. It's just so neat how God never abandons us when we need him most. My testimony grew even deeper. I love trials. Is that weird to say?

 

Hermana Brown says "hi". So neat that her family knows ours! Small world!

 

Oh my gosh. So funny thing that happened this week. Hermana Brown and I get pretty competitive with each other. Like, we will race each other to the car, house, etc. That's how we bond. It's a great time. Anyway, we were leaving our place after dinner for a lesson, and so we raced each other to the car. The grass was wet due to the rain that's been hitting us lately, and so as I was running in my boots, I felt myself slowly slipping. I couldn't give up, and I didn't care if I fell, but I found myself falling, and before I knew it, I was on cold wet grass laughing my head off, and Hna Brown laughing at me. We got in the car, and turned the heater on blast. I needed my tights to dry before we got to our lesson. So yeah. My competitiveness totally stabs me in the back!

 

Had one of the most spiritual exchanges of my mission this past week with S. Santiago. It was insanely awesome, but I can't really go into detail cause I gotta go!

 

I also chopped about 4 inches of my hair off. 

 

Also, Jose de Jesus got a church calling, and he forgot to sign his baptism paper thing that certifies it, so that was hilarious. Maybe I had to come back to catch that.? So yeah.

 

President had me started on "My Plan" this past week, and it's weird because I have to think about non-mission related stuff, so yeah.

 

Anyway, love you all!

Hope you have a good one.

Sorry my emails aren't as detailed anymore, but yeah.

 
Con amor,
