Dearest
family!
This week, I not only had plenty of sunshine
in a happy spiritual and funny way, but also a very literal sense. It's HOT
FOLKS! The sun just attacks you. We had to go and sit down in the shade a few
times this week for five minutes so that we didn't turn into roasted human
beings. However, I am still alive and using sunscreen like nobody's business, so
thank goodness for that invention.
This week we saw some
pretty lovely miracles! First of all we had divisions on Tuesday, and I was reunited with Hna. Guerrero! We were
very happy, but also we weren't having a very lucky day. We had an Hna. Come from
the ward with us on some visits, and after contacting for an hour, she told us
that there was a sister in the ward who is super, super sick. So we went to go visit
her. It was sooo sad! The sister was just laid out on her bed when we got there
and her husband was feeding her a bottle. Apparently she has a tumor or
something on her brain and her body is just slowly giving out every day. Well,she
can't talk so we just sang a hymn and then she fell asleep and we washed some
dishes for her husband. After washing we started talking to the husband and it turns
out he actually isn't a member of the church. He had attended a few times and
felt the peace there, but it never really called his interest. Well, let me
just explain to you, in the short hour we were there all he could talk about was
how much he loved his sweet wife. We are talking the movie 'The Notebook' people.
I HAVE FOUND ALLI AND NOAH! Haha! But he
was so cute! He says he prays for her so much! It was so exciting for us to be
able to tell him a little about the Plan of Salvation. That God loves his
children enough that we will see all of our loved ones beyond the grave. He was
so excited and wants to know more! I just know that it wasn't coincidence that
God sent us there exactly at this time in his life.
Today for P-day we went
to some caves in Flores.... without a guide.. cuz' apparently we didn't want to
pay for one. Well.. it was very dark and wet and muddy and we were climbing on
our bellies and swinging on ropès and really just trying to find a way out cuz'.
. . . . It was sketchy people. On the other hand, a giant adventure. We liked
it alright.
Everyone remember to
keep applying their general conference goals!
Happy 1 year mark to
me! How weird is that!?
