I love Hermana Gomez!
|
I am very sorry. I was
a little bit of an emotional mess last week. Also as a missionary and when I'm
writing you guys, I always struggle to find the line. My whole life right now
is just listening to people's lives and trying to pull something out of thin air
to help them. I have found it is really hard and I'm actually not that good at
it cuz' my answer to everything is just... uh... pray. haha But that is ok cuz
I am cute. But sorry if I gave you a little cincho. Emails are always a little
awkward cuz I just can't really get my message across cuz I'm a spaz. You know
me.
So, Mom, since in our
last exchange we talked about how we need to be positive about ourselves. .
.aka, you mother need to be positive about yourself. . . I like this request that I write10 things
about me, and since you did it first, just let me tell you:
1. I am hilarious.
#sorrynotsorry 2. my curly blonde hair. 3 I am always trying to better myself 4. I want to be like Christ, and even If I'm
not always like Him, I have the desires, 5. I am a representative of Jesus Christ
(MY FAVORITE) 6. I make people feel good whereever I am. 7. I have a strong
testimony of this gospel and I show it through my actions. ( not my words cuz I
struggle with that) 8. I'm a leader 9. I love my family 10. I am motivated.
That was fun. I liked
it. Thank you mother. I think that is good to do. Everyone do it. Also I will be using it because this week E.
Alonso from the 70 is coming to talk to us as a mission and us alone as leaders.
I know we will be getting a little burn from him... awkward. And I will
probably feel like a poop missionary afterward. But also, more motivated to be
better! After all he is a 70.
This week was good!
Sad at first, but much better after Hna Gomez got here
Who did you serve this
week and how? This week we went and chopped some grass for a little family.
They were just sitting outside and the little boy had this big huge machete and
was just going at it. He was probably about 5. It was so cute. He was just all
bent over in his jeans which were WAY to big for him and his little booty was
hanging out. Haha. So we asked them if we could help. At first they were
hesitant, but after we convinced the, cuz I told them I wanted to learn so I could
do it in the U.S. (ps no.. its hard. Thank goodness for lawn mowers)
Are you still visiting
that man whose wife was in bed drinking from a bottle? Well sad news. His wife
died and we went to go and visit him again. It was a really special lesson
because we explained where his wife was and how happy she was. He was happy to
hear it but also told us he couldn't stay here in Peten because everything
reminded him of her. So he is now in the capitol. But we passed the reference
there and hopefully the missionaries there are on the it.
How was your first
week with the new companion? I LOVE HNA GOMEZ! She is teaching me a lot about
the love for chiles. I will be a chili eating fool when I get home. WAHOO: And
eat a lot of your hot horse radish mother. But we just laughed our brains out
all week. She is super fiesty and just says what she wants which I love...
kinda like grandpa Ray. But we balance each other out well and she is a very
good missionary.
What is the favorite
scripture of the week? This week I read about Abinidi. Heck I love that man! He
spoke with such POWER. He really was so sure of himself and his mission. He was
so focused on Christ and his mission that nothing else matters. I put some
goals this week of how I can be more consecrated like him.
What made you laugh
this week? We had a lesson this week with a sister named Maricruz. She just had
her grandpa die and we were visiting her for the 1st time. Well we were just
about to finish the lesson when her little boy (about 2) comes running in
completely naked, sits down on the ground and just poops in the middle of the
floor. The sister was SO embarrassed but I couldn;t stop laughing. Heck it was
hilarious. It stunk so bad I couldn't even breathe... but it was funny. Like
you said mom, We "Dearly love to laugh"! BAHAHAHA.
All I can say Is, I
love this work so much! We saw miracles and the clouds came this week! Not too
hot! But it's back again today. Either way I was happy.
I am sad to hear about
Josh Ringo I will keep his family in my prayers. He was a good kid and always
made me laugh.
Thanks for the
support! So excited to meet and hopefullhear baby Stephens on Sunday! Love you all!
