Re: Life is Wonderful

Oh bahaha the PS is that a bird did its business on my face and my suit the other day. It's a testament to how the Lord changes people and the Spirit is with the missionaries, because I was just able to laugh it off, no problem. I realized afterwards that that probably wouldn't have happened before my calling as a missionary.

Hello my dear friends and family,

This week was amazing. Kinda hard, because we walked a ton (which is mission code for we didn't get to teach a lot), but it's so incredible to be a missionary here and get to serve the Lord.

For this week's newsletter we're going to do some highlights on the people we're teaching. Your prayers are always welcome and appreciated; we see miracles out here and I'm sure tons of it is answers to prayers.

Justo and Nilda are married and progressing a ton. They have super strong testimonies and want to get baptized, they're just being held back because they haven't been to church much, because she's got cancer and it makes life a little nuts. They're so cool, he just takes notes every time we teach him a lesson. The last time we met with them we just talked about how the Book of Mormon could improve their marriage (there had been some struggles) and the Spirit was so so strong.

Mirella, Karol, and Lilu are recent finds, a family, and they're wonderful. Progressing fast (Mirella's been to church TWO SUNDAYS STRAIGHT!), and super great. We're working on getting them to read the BoM and keep receiving lessons.

And looks like we're cutting the list there because time is ridiculous here haha

Love you all! I'm really doing wonderful out here :)
