Sister Nunez speaks no English. It's a little challenging teaching her. The best part is that she wants to learn at least. It's kind of cool, I lived with her back in my first transfer in Sonsacate. I am using a buttload of Spanish. No new investigators that are progressing at least. This week I did try a Johnny Cake. It's basically a little sandwich, I liked it. Also Jorge brought us some really yummy powderbuns. They're a type of sweet biscuit. I will work on trying more foods. I am healthy. I am a little sore from swinging a pickax for a service we did but other than that (and a few blisters) I'm very healthy. I am happy, I was sad to see Sister M go. Me and her became very good friends and so it was rough to say goodbye to her.
I'm excited to see where Soraya is going to go. Could you send her a message to her on FB asking her to email me? I miss that gal and I want to stay updated on her mission papers and everything.
Gary E. Stevenson? That's awesome. I could of guessed that would be the topic. It seems that since the April 2012 conference missionary work has been the go to topic for everything. Which is good because members should help, but without some type of follow up the enthusiasm leaves quickly and we're left with the same thing as before.
By the way, how are the missionaries in our ward? Do the kids still love them?
The situation on Belize- is it is very poor. You know you live in a sketchy place when the health care is better in Mexico. That's why sister Savage went to a dentist in Mexico before she went back to El Sal. I don't know why Belize is so poor, it just is.
So this week has been a rather long one. But I figure that is because I am working on getting to the scary
ONE YEAR mark. When people ask me how much time left I die a little each time. Not that I am not happy to see you in a little over 6 months... I just don't know what to do with my life. I will not be a missionary and that is just super weird to me. This has been my life everyday for about a year... #Awkwardmissionarygyal
Anyways....we are still working with Jazzy J and we set another date so that way she has something to work towards. We had the chance to do a service project of moving dirt from a big pile to an area where we spread it out. I got to use a pickax and it was very fun. I think I might of frightened the Elders though. Haha. We had a great lesson with a member yesterday who has not been to church in the past 3 weeks. The spirit was so strong as I felt compelled to share D&C 122 7-9-And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good. The Son of Man descended below them all. Art thou greater than He? Therefore hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever. As we talked about trials and hardships he is facing he began to cry a little. I was able to see a fraction of the plans our Heavenly Father has for him. Seeing him like this just affirms the fact that Satan tries to get the strongest saints to fall. And makes me have an even stronger desire to grow closer everyday to the Lord. So that way I can overcome the temptations that will be given to me.
Mom. I love you so much. I think you are the best and I am so happy and thankful that you are my mom. And that out of all of our Heavenly Father's spirit children you chose me. :) I love you so much!
