Dear Family and Friends,
This week has been pretty awesome. We taught so many lessons and are seeing some amazing things. Two more people are getting baptized this month and they are so prepared. It's been amazing to see how the Lord puts people who are ready to accept the gospel in our path. A woman name Maria is getting baptized this Friday at 7 and then the husband of Alejandra (who got baptized last week) is getting baptized the 31st. I'm so happy for them and it has been amazing to see the changes that have occurred in their countenances and their way of viewing life.
I know everything happens for a reason and although we may not always understand something in the moment, some day we will. I've had several moments this week where I've realized why I've had certain experiences in my life- to help me better relate to others I come in contact with and to help me better learn to trust in the Lord. I love the Book of Mormon and would like to extend a challenge to everyone to try to read daily in it, even if it's just a little bit. There is so much to learn and the Book of Mormon teaches a lot of those things we should learn in this life.
On a lighter note- we do a lot of driving in the dark and my companion and I have decided that there are some owls out there who have death wishes cause we've almost hit an owl several times. Also we almost hit another animal...not sure what it was...maybe some type of large rodent thing. Oh well, I don't think we hit it...barely missed it though.
The weather here has also been kinda crazy. It snowed then it melted then it slushed then it melted and the last couple days its been pretty nice. I'll just keep praying that we stay safe. All has been well though.
Love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love,
