PARADISE!!
Hellllllooooo
What a crazy week! I blinked, and it
was gone.
This past week was a blast. I went
on two different exchanges in two different areas this week, so it felt like I
was never in my area.
We had an awesome lesson with Josh
and his family. I'm not sure if I've talked a lot about Josh. Josh is a 14-year-old
boy. His parents are less active, but his aunt and uncle are pretty much our
go-to best friends in the ward. Josh comes to church almost every Sunday with
his cousins and just loves it. We have been visiting him and his family for a
few weeks now and it's been super awesome. They are such sweet family! Josh is
actually planning on getting baptized this weekend and we are super stoked! We
taught them the plan of salvation and it was so awesome to just see the parent’s
eyes change. The plan of salvation changes everything, it changes the entire
perspective of someone. I am so thankful that I get to teach this. I am
honestly humbled all the time that I get to tell people about such an amazing
thing and watch them change. Ah I just love this gospel.
Joan and Jennifer are still just so
awesome. We love them so much.
We taught them the word
of wisdom and law of chastity this past week. They understood it, but we are
still working with them to dejarlo. They are just so great you guys. I am going
to miss them so much. They are making me sancocho this week and I’m stoked.
They came to stake conference and loved it! Jenifer just looks like a little
Primary President. They are going to be incredible members.
This past week I also
got to go on an exchange with Sister Tyrrell in her area. It was so fun to be
with her again and just see how much we have both changed since our time
in Bahia together. We were laughing so hard the whole time about all the
hilarious times we had back then. It was such a cool day to realize how much
we've both grown. It was awesome.
Life is going so great.
It just all feels really unreal. I hate it. I am so excited for this upcoming
week. Its going to be amazing.
My spiritual thought
this week comes from a quote we found from President Joseph F. Smith. It says "The
gospel of Christ is a living, daily religion, and hourly religion. It requires
us to do right today, this hour, this week, this months and this year; and so
on from year to year, to live our religion- which is the religion of Jesus
Christ- of righteousness, of truth, of mercy, of love, forgiveness, kindness,
union and peace on earth and good will to man and all the world. This is our
mission."
I’d be lying if I said
that the fact that I’m going home in a week hasn't made me just so sad. I’m
going to miss this so much. This work is incredible. I am a representative of
the Savior Jesus Christ. I have loved every single minute of this. Going home
seems like the worst thing ever right now. I’ve been scared of the
"normal" the "usual". Although recently I’ve realized that
my mission is just to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. Just as Joseph F Smith
said, It doesn’t end. It is a living, daily thing. I’ve been living the gospel
for the last 18 months and I’ll only continue it after.
I love you guys so much!
You are just the greatest! I’ll be praying for you!
