Hey Mom!
Things are going great here! I am loving
the mission! I am sad that it is coming to an end, but I am so happy
because of all that I have learned and all the experiences that I have
had!!! This week was a good one! We did a lot of service and Elder Pino
from the seventy came to the mission! It was a great experience!! He
taught us in a conference as well as our leadership council. He
encouraged us to keep working and keep "raising the bar". I am so
grateful to have the examples of many dedicated servants of the Lord who
are always willing to teach and strengthen us. Today we went to Pachuca
to renew my temple recommend... that's right, two years have passed
since I got my first recommend! haha, it was a great experience to
remember all that we need to do every day in order to be worthy to enter
the Lords house. I was actually looking through a few of the letters I
have printed out, and last night I was reading one that you sent me with
this same list from President Hinckley. I read it and I feel like those
are some great things to bring home. I have to admit that there are
many things that I still haven't learned that I hope to keep learning so
that I can become more spiritually prepared to return from the mission!
We have been teaching an 84 year old Father of some converts in our
area. He has a lot of desires to be baptized! The only problem is that
he has been sick for quite some time and has been home-bound. Last week
we took him to church with us in his wheelchair, and he liked it a lot!
We hope to keep helping him progress towards his baptism! Im so grateful
for this work! Like President Ezra Taft Benson said, "I love this work,
and it is work!" I love you tons Mom! |
