SUPER BOWL 2018: LATIN
EDITION
WHAT A WEEK. Oh man and
its already February.
This past week was so
awesome. Packed full bikes and crazy Latins.
Probably the highlight
of my week and possible my mission was our crazy fun "torneo de
futbol" that we put on this past Saturday in our ward. It was such a hit!
So many people brought their friends and everyone just loved it. It was
honestly so awesome to be able to play again! It was a dream come true. Sister
Richardson also played soccer growing up so we both got put on teams and it was
just us and a whole bunch of latin men. It was so AWESOME!!!! I forgot how much
I love soccer.
The funniest part was
that our ward mission leader opened the activity with a prayer and a hymn. The hymn
was "our lovely Deseret" . If you aren't familiar with that song,
please look it up and imagine a gym full of Latin men singing that song about
tea and alcohol. I couldn't stop laughing. OH it was so good. Also, I realized
how insanely old I am getting because I am SO SORE.
We are still working
with such amazing families. They are all seriously incredible and progressing
really well! We are teaching quite a few children right now and it’s probably
one of my favorite things. I feel like kids get the gospel so much more than us
sometimes.
I am just so thankful
for everything that is going on in our area right now. God is really blessing
us and it’s going to be an amazing transfer.
Lots of sketch things
happened this week which made it quite an adventure. There is for sure a reason
why this place is called "hollyweird" between the missionaries. I
LOVE THIS PLACE.
I wanted to share one of
my favorite scriptures this week. this is probably the only way that I can
explain how I've been feeling lately. Its in Alma 26:36-37 "36 Now if
this is boasting, even so will I boast; for this is my life and my light, my
joy and my salvation, and my redemption from everlasting wo. Yea, blessed is
the name of my God, who has been mindful of this people, who are a branch of
the tree of Israel, and has been lost from its body in a strange land; yea, I
say, blessed be the name of my God, who has been mindful of us, wanderers in a
strange land.
37 Now my brethren, we
see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea,
he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now
this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my
God forever. Amen."
God knows us and loves
us. He is aware of every single thing we are going through or worried
about. We are His, He is ours. I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father
and all the tender mercies he has poured out to me throughout my mission. I
love you all. I hope you have a great week!!!
