Well, crazy news for this week. We were anticipating the call from President all week to hear more about what was going on with the Visa.Sunday the Zone leaders were still looking for a mini missionary for me. All day we were joking around saying that she wasn´t going anymore. Well, Sunday night we got a call from President saying that she´s not going anymore. Hahaha Crazy! She had already started packing and everything. How´s that for a last minute change? For now she´s here until the end of this month.
My friends are STUDS. Sara seems to be doing amazing! I can just picture her saying every word that she wrote to me. Haha, oh how I love her. I didn´t hear from Kim this week but I´m excited to read her letter. AND Cara... un capo. Haven´t heard much from her, but no doubt she´s doing amazing. Jordan Clark sent a nice 9 month pic :) Mine will be coming next week. Wow... halfway??? What is this?! In one way it seems like it´s been a whole other life, but in the other way I can´t even believe that I´m halfway through!
Anyway, this week went pretty well. Nothing too exciting happened, or at least that I remember. Haha Jose is getting baptized this upcomingSunday! We went to the capital which is out of our mission! I wasn´t ever going to see Buenos Aires... but we decided to just go for one morning. It´s only a few stations out of our area. ;) Haha nah we had permission don´t worry. Hermana Diaz needed her Yellow Fever shot. It´s SOO different there. I didn´t know that big buildings existed in Argentina. Haha I´m pretty sure I´m in the tiniest city in the mission, so it was a HUGE difference.
The highlight of the week was a lesson we had with Felisa and Ramon. We brought a member with us and taught ¨Plan of Salvation.¨ Hna Diaz was supposively leaving so they shared a few of their thoughts about what they have learned. Seriously it was amazing. She talked about how her relationship with her family is so much better now. She explained how thanks to us she now knows how to pray and really uses it as a strength in her life. Everything that she was describing was exactly what the Lord promises us. I have gained the strongest testimony on one of the simplest principles of this gospel. The gospel blesses families. There is no doubt that the gospel really does seal the family together. The 9 principles: Faith, repentance, forgiveness, love, compassion, work, recreational activities, prayer, and respect are key. The gospel helps us apply these 9 principles in our homes. El hogar es como el cielo cuando hay amor! I LOVE THIS SONG! :) Nobody knows it hear, but we always sing it. ¨HOme can be a heaven on earth.¨
I´m continuing to see the fruits of this gospel working in the lives of many, including my own. I really am so grateful for the things I am learning each and everyday here. Hope that you all as well are recognizing the blesses of this gospel each and every day of your lives. It truly is amazing.
Ha sooo depressing moment of the week... I have officially lost every last bit of muscle I ever had. Uhh tried to do a few pull ups today when we were playing football at the park. Ya... I´ll just give a little thanks to the mission love. Depressing moment for a bit, but then I decided ahhhh it is what it is... I´ll stress about that after the mish! Just be expecting a warm welcome to the new and improved Pudgy Mana Wright ;) Haha
Love you all so much! Have an amazing week!!
