Week 76

Well, this week went by pretty dang fast. It’s pretty crazy to think that I’m down to about 6 months left here in the mission! I can’t quite believe it. Time goes by so fast and so slow sometimes. Haha! Not much has happened this week, but I did have a really cool experience with Sister Rosa that got baptized!

So anyways, on Tuesday we had division or splits and I went to the area where Sister Rosa lives. I got to talk to her at the end of the day.we had a great conversation and she seemed so dang happy to see me and I was so dang happy to see her! So it was about 9:20 as we were leaving her house and she told me that I had no idea how much she really has missed me. She said that when she heard the news that my companion and I weren’t going to be in her area, she started to cry. And she told her family that she is never going to treat another missionary like she treated me!!

Good heck it sure did hit me so hard. I can’t even express the love that I have for the people of Oaxaca. Goodness, they sure are such amazing people and it was so amazing to see the love that they have for me! I’m so grateful to be a missionary in this time. I know WITHOUT a doubt that I’m where I need to be - even though it’s super, super tough being here sometimes! I KNOW that this church is true! Keep fighting the good fight and hold fast to the iron rod!! I love you all so much!!
