Haha anybody anybody??? Haha yeah, it´s a song on Enchanted
that Amy Adams sings and it just so happens I´m serving right now with Amy
Adams :) Hahaha it´s sooo funny to me because since the first day I met Hna
Boyce she reminded me of some Disney character and I couldn´t figure out who
and I said Amy Adams from Enchanted one time and she was like really? and I was
like oh maybe not. . .but THEN she started singing that song and she sounds
JUST LIKE HER!!! Haha and she´s just super gorgeous and cute and yeah haha it´s
the best :)
She also knows what she wants too, so she is being a tough one and
working even though her allergies aren´t totally gone. . .so we went out and
worked hard this week!
My Florencia, who I´ve been teaching for awhile, is
SUPER looking forward to her baptism and FINALLY came to church yesterday! I
think she really enjoyed it :) She loved that there was nursery for her kids to
be in while she was in class, even though they only stayed there for one of the
hours (which really worked out perfect) and I taught the gospel principles
class on the Priesthood and she had been wondering about getting a blessing for
all of the hard things she´s got going on and just bad feelings about her past,
and we set up a time this week for her to receive one, so I´m super looking
forward to that :) All of our members in our little branch went to the Temple this
week. It´s crazy to be in an area where they literally save all they can
every month so that they can go to the temple 4 times a year. . .if they are
lucky. Our missionary leader got sealed to his wife and he is just the sweetest
about it all.
One of the members cars broke down on the way back too and that´s
what they use in order to work (they take drinkable water around, like the
dispenser kind since the water is bad here) and they really need there car for
that :/ but they just have this amazing "God gives us trials to make us
stronger" attitude and it´s so amazing. I love the Book of Mormon for that
reason. It teaches us and helps us see that the only way we can find happiness
in life is if we are learning and we can only learn if we are having challenges
and testing our faith so that is can grow bigger and stronger. it´s truly
amazing. I also have seen that REMEMBERING is so huge. We have commandments in
order to keep us humble, so that we know that we can´t find peace and happiness
without Heavenly Father. It´s all about doing things in his time and in His way
:) That´s the theme of the mish for me, and I don´t know if I would have
learned that any other way.
I´m so ridiculously blessed. Thank you ALL for all
your support and the prayers and letters! Thank you Grandpa and Grandma for the
e-mails! Sorry I didn´t get to reply back this week, hopefully I´ll find time
one day! Thank you to everyone whose sent letters too! Those are a rare thing
and they mean the world to me when I get them :)
Have a great week ok??
I love
you all so much <3 xoxoxo
