Hi Mom and Family,
Today was good. We went over to a member's house and
washed our clothes while we did our studies. Then we went home and laid
around for a while until we went shopping. After shopping we went and got
my hair cut. It was really long. Then we went home and here we are. I know REAL
EXCITING!!!
This week was a really good week. I got sick again
this week. We are sure it is from the food we ate at a member's
house. It was fish. I really did not feel good for a few
days. I have been kind of light headed for the past few days with an off
and on headache. I don't know why.
It is super weird to me. But that's alright. I am feeling
good now.
We have been having more success. We have been
teaching families that I really hope will get baptized. One of those
families is the same family I talked about a few weeks ago with the little boy
that has cancer. It makes me sad because the mom and the dad are not
married and they have to get divorced before baptism. The dad is
Jehovah's Witness and doesn't want anything to do with the church. The
mom knows its true. She told us this is the change she wants for her
family but her husband doesn't like it. It makes me really sad. But
that's alright. We told her if she really wants to be baptized the Lord
will provide a way.
I need to be patient and have faith that the Lord will
provide a way for me. I have been trying so hard to be a tool in the
Lord's hand and be the best Missionary I can Possibly be. It is really
hard sometimes. You get down and discouraged and that is how Satan wants
us to feel. It is hard, but through Christ it is possible. Without
Christ it would be impossible. I have to remember why I am here.
Remember the Lives that have changed because the Lord used me as a
tool in His hands. It all comes down to faith in Him.
Yesterday we were teaching the Gospel Principle class and we
taught about faith. It really got me thinking about why faith is so
important. Without faith we would have no Gospel. Faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ is the first principle of the Gospel. If we have the faith
we can Move mountains. But the most important part of our faith is
action. Without acting on our faith our faith will not grow. It
really made me think about my Faith a lot. I know that I must put all I
can into the Lord. Because our Heavenly Father Hears us and loves us so
much and wants His children to make it back to him. Being here in Mexico
and seeing so many sad situations and heard so many heart-breaking stories is
hard, but I have witnessed the faith that came out of those trials. It
makes me so happy to see these people go through trials, putting all of their
heart and Faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. That is why I am
here. To bring the joy, the happiness, the peace that comes through the
Gospel. I have seen it in my own life. I feel it. The only
way we can truly have these things is through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
There is no other way. It is only through the Gospel can we have our
eternal families. I love you all so much.
Always and forever

Strawberry Jam! I love you Mom, with all my heart.
