I am in total shock. I loved all of the birthday videos and messages. Thank you so much. I still can’t believe it all. It was the coolest surprise. I feel so blessed to have the best friends, amazing support and the greatest family ever. I never realized how many people outside of the family actually cared. I felt so much love and teared up over and over as each video came through. Thank you for the time you took to make and send them. I am so grateful for the huge influence you all have been in my life. I really do appreciate and care for each one of you. And thanks, Mom, for putting it all together. I feel so incredibly blessed.
I do have to say that the greatest gift I received today was a video from Ben telling me that he committed to Vanderbilt. I am so excited it's crazy! When I saw his video telling me about it, I lost it. I dropped the phone, ran out of the room and was screaming and then cried. Best gift. I’m so happy for Ben.
This week was a pretty great week. It felt like the work was slow, but we still had a ton of success. I feel like we are naturally just so blessed, sometimes I feel like every door we knock should open up and let us in, but that didn't happen this week, BUT we had a huge blessing in receiving a lot of help. We had received a lot of referrals and have had the chance to teach amazing people like Karla, who’s step-mother was a member, but passed away. We have been teaching her and it has been awesome. Just last Thursday we extended a baptismal date, and SHE ACCEPTED!! Super excited!!
I like this truck! This is the goal one day . . . hahah
Flooded again!!
We also went to go teach Marisol, who was a referral from Hermana Susana! Hna Susana is being a killer missionary right now, and Marisol, who is single and living with her daughter and her husband, immediately accepted a baptismal date as well. That was amazing too!
We went out for sushi for my birthday. Thanks, Dad!
I had to take this picture. The guy behind me totally reminded me of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite. haha
This is Daisy, making pupusas to sell.
Here we are at dinner with the familia Arellano.
We are doing well as a district, we are kind of carrying our zone which is awesome. We are all like best friends, and it is a super fun district with lots of success so far! We are just trying to keep it going. Blessing beyond belief!!
Spiritual thought: 3 Nefi 15:9. Read this. It tells us to look to the light, to endure, and to live. Christ is the light and life of the world. Look to him, endure as a disciple of Christ, and LIVE. THis is the best way to live!! The peace you feel in your life, the comfort that is always there, it is so there, it is almost palpable. Love the Lord, and follow him. Do as he did!
Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! HAVE A GREAT WEEK! LOOK AND LIVE!!
