Week 33

Hola Everyone!

We had a good week this week and we really worked hard. And as always, I hope you all had an absolutely amazing week!! I had an awesome experience this week and I would love to share it with you all.

So I got a call from a sister that just got here and wanted to talk to us so that she could know what time church started and a little more. So we set an appointment with her and on Wednesday we went to her house. It happens to be that she only has six months as a member. Her husband isn't a member and he's in the military. She told us her story and it was amazing.

So her husband has been in the military for 20 years and he's been traveling to every part of Mexico. It's been really tough for her because her husband is never home. She decided about a week ago that she was going to get a divorce. She talked with her Bishop and he told her that she needed to go to the temple first and do baptisms. From there she could decide. So she went to the temple and got her answer. Now she is living with her husband in Oaxaca and she will be with him the rest of this year while he finishes his military service. We are going to be baptizing him this month! And they have further plans to be sealed in the temple. It was such an awesome experience and I truly am so blessed to be apart of this experience with this amazing family!

I know I didn't have a lot to say in my email, but I'm truly so grateful for the opportunity to be serving my brothers and sisters in Oaxaca. I love the people here with all my heart and I've very grateful I was called to serve in the Mexico Oaxaca Mission. I know without a doubt I was called of God to serve here. I hope you can all continue to have amazing spiritual experiences and find those who need to hear your testimonies. Have an amazing week everyone and know how dang much I love you all!!!
