I love that object lesson of Momma Z's. (I, Keli's mom, had shared an object lesson taught in Sunday school this week with Keli). Stacie told me about your voice. It's totally cool to sound like Batman. Please send videos. I will check with my mission pres. but from what I understand it's okay. Send packages to where it says on my status about mail. The last one. I love those quotes! They're great. Natalie told me she went to the temple. That really almost made me cry. I am so grateful for that. 
Things to send: wallets of the kids and a children's song book in Spanish.

This week. Goodbye's are so hard. (Keli is leaving the Mexico city MTC for El Salvador today). That has been a very challenging part of my week. I love my little district, they're like a family. I especially like having four worthy priesthood holders around me constantly. It's really reassuring. We also have talked a lot about working with the members. I want to share with you what I have learned about that. There's a quote and I wish I had my PMG so I could tell you what it was exactly and who said it. But it said that it is the duty of every man, woman, and child who has reached the age of accountability to preach the gospel. I want to encourage you to become part of the member missionary work. Ask the missionaries if there are people you can help them teach. They will love you even more for it.

I have also gained such a strong testimony of preaching the gospel. I love in John 15 verse like 12 I think. Christ says the greatest thing you can do for your friends is lay down your life. I will not be dying anytime soon, but I have laid down my old life. When i get back, I will have a car, I will have a phone, and Facebook. But I will be such a different person. Using my time better, interacting better with others, etc. I will never not be a missionary. It's impossible. And I am grateful for the chance to do this. And I encourage you to become a missionary too. Help the missionaries. And continue being such a great example. I am working on a Christlike attribute for the next two transfers. It's love. I want to be more loving like the Savior. 

It would mean a lot to me, if you did too. That way we can both have drastic changes in the next 17 months. 

I love you so much mom. I hope I get to call you today.

Siempre tu hija,
hermana Mims

  1. Hermana Mims,
    Espero que todo le vaya bien. No tengo mucho oportunidades a hablar espanol en Michigan pero tengo que practicar para que cuando llegamemos a Texas. Siga trabajando. En mi mision tuvimos algunos dichos como....trabajaremos hoy y descansar manana. El otro que me gusto bastante fue...regresar a la casa sin dudas y regretos. Bueno! Estas en nuestro oraciones. Sigue adelante y sea una respuesta por una oracion aun sea la oracion de la madre de su companera!!
