Hey! sorry for the dramatic subject line. gotta get people to read these things somehow. mostly it just means it was pretty dang cold and now it is pretty dang hot and its gonna get cold again. some people say thats just like utah but trust me its a lil crazier lol.
I am really getting used to things here. I love being a missionary and I just feel incredibly spoiled. Just as my dad tends to spoil me at home, I feel like my heavenly father spoils me just as much here on the mission. I am crazy blessed.
We have a cute new investigator named Leidy. She is 20 years old and we connect super well. She is SO READY for this gospel. When we invited her to be baptized she almost squealed with excitment. Pretty incredible, she is a crazy good example to me.
We went and visited a cute menos activo lady who is slightly crazy. She is about 80 years old and doesnt get visitors so we are gonna make that a weekly thing now. She came to church on Sunday and laid her head on my shoulder for part of the meeting, so cute!!! She has so little but she feels like she has so much. Which she does, because she knows she has God and Jesus Christ and she is a crazy good example. That is what I admire about the people here. They appear to have nothing, but they never stop talking about how blessed they are. And they aren't just trying to stay positive, they truly feel like they have mountains of blessings. I hope I can become like that.
My favorite quote of the week is, "Life is hard, the gospel isnt. Some people get those two things confused." Sometimes we may blame the hardness of our lives on God or on the gospel, or all the things we "have" to do as missionaries or members of the church, but honestly, its just life that can be hard some times. And if we let him in, Jesus Christ will lead us with love through whatever storm we face.
That is all for this week, we are having fun as always and I honestly just am so excited for these next 17 months. They are gonna fly by, I can already feel the time getting away from me!!! Thank you all for your constant examples and kindness and support. I love you so much!!!
