MOANA AND MILAGROS!!
What a week my friends!
Time is so insanely fast, I hate it.
We had an awesome zone
conference this week and I got to see a whole bunch of my buds and it was
crazy. Sister Jensen and Sister Dimond and all my bffs are going home!!! It’s
crazy! I feel so weird you guys have no idea. All my buds are gone!! I can’t
wait to see them again though. Ahhh I just love the mission you seriously meet
the most incredible people.
One of the highlights of
my week was when all the sisters in my house freaked out one night that I
hadn't seen Moana because I was on my mission and they acted out the ENTIRE
THING one night. It was seriously so entertaining, they did so good! I couldn't
stop laughing the whole time.
We also had a
specialized east coast area conference and so we all met in the stake center
and I walked in and sitting right there was my recent convert ALICIA. Oh my
goodness, I cannot tell you how happy we both were. I was crying, she was
crying. AHH i just love her so much. She is getting her patriarchal blessing
and invited me to sit in. I was so honored. Also, SHES MOVING TO UTAH....
AHHHH.
We had such incredible
food this week from all over. Papusas from El Salvador. Baliadas from Honduras.
Completos and empenadas from Chile. Arepas from Venezuela. OH MYYY.. All I can
say is that I am just so thankful I'm on bikes because all of it was just so
good. I think my members are trying to fatten me up before I go home.
MLK day was something
else. We were on bikes all day and it got pretty sketch at some points, but all
was well! We actually rode on MLK street... pretty cool.
We are teaching the
cutest woman from Peru. We had an incredible lesson with her about the Book of
Mormon and it was so perfect. She is our favorite.
We are still trying to
balance teaching all of our awesome families.
The Venezuelan family is
still doing so good!! Roseangeli is progressing really well and their whole
family is praying about baptism. President is coming out teaching with us tomorrow,
so we are stoked!!!
What a bitter sweet week
with the funeral of our Prophet Thomas S. Monson. He lived such an incredible
life of service and love. He will be missed. I am so thankful for modern day
revelation and a Heavenly Father who speaks to us. Heaven is very much
open.
My scripture from this
week come from the Old Testament, In Micah 4:11-12. It reads "11 ¶ Now
also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let
our eye look upon Zion.
12 But they know not
the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall
gather them as the sheaves into the floor."
I love this
scripture. I have noticed a recent transfer "theme" that we've been
having. It seems like everyone we talked to just has absolutely nothing good to
say about the world. Many people feel that there is absolutely no good.
Everything is horrible. The world is falling, drugs, alcohol, etc. They feel
like there is no hope. It caused me to think a lot about the world we are
living in and why I still have hope, why I still feel such excitement for the
future. It’s because my "eyes look upon Zion." I know what’s ahead
and the gospel prepares us for it. I am so thankful for modern day prophets, so
we can truly understand our Heavenly Fathers counsel for us in these last days.
Something that President Eyring said this morning that confirmed this to me was
that "the best is yet to come." How true is that. I love this church
and the truthful positivity that flows from it.
I love you all so very
much! YOU ARE THE GREATEST. I’ll keep praying for you, don’t worry! Have a
great week.
