It was so amazing to see all of your beautiful faces yesterday!!! i love you all so much and I am so thankful to have such an amazing family! Well....... here we are at the dreaded half way mark! It really is a bitter sweet moment! I am so proud to look back on my mission and see all that I have done in these 9 months and how much i have changed. But I really do feel like time is flying by, i love being a missionary, i have loved every minute of being a missionary and It is sad that i am half way done! I am very excited to start this next half of my mission with all that I have. I know that I am showing my Savior how much I love him every day on my mission. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I am so thankful for all that he has taught me and continues to teach me! I know that each and every day i am getting to know him more and learning to follow his example. This week was really great! And really funny!
i LEARNED this week that i still need to work on my patience hahah! So we went to Vail, because we heard from this bus driver that we were talking to, that at 5 o clock all of the Hispanics that work in Vail get off of work and go to the bus transit center to go back home. So we headed to Vail to be there at 5 so that we could share the gospel with everyone. And we parked our car and we were waiting at this bus stop that was going to take us to the transit center! And i looked at the times and saw that our bus would come in 5 minutes, so we were waiting and finally this bus comes around the corner but it drives through and doesn't pick us up. So I was like great we missed our bus now what? And I saw these Hispanic guys go up these stairs after work. And so i yell to my companion come on lets follow them and teach them. And so we run up like 4 flights of stairs and we get to the top and they are taking off in their cars hahah! So then we look back down at the bus stop and I see the bus coming so we ran down these 4 flights of stairs but didn't catch our bus hhahaha. Its safe to say my companion was a little bit done after that! OOPS!!! I did learn a valuable lesson though! hahah, And we got a great exercise!(;

This week we also saw a lot of success with investigators coming to church. We had a great training in District meeting about how we can help our investigators come to church, and how we need to promise them specific blessings. I love that as a missionary if we promise blessings the lord will fulfill that promise and help the people in their lives. We had Edgar come to church this week. It was amazing because his aunt and cousins are all Less Active members. And they all came to church this week and stayed for all 3 hours. It is my favorite thing to look back at our investigators or less actives at church and see them all sitting together as a family. There is something really special about being with your family every Sunday sitting on the benches together! I am not going to lie I got a little emotional this Sunday at church because it made me soo happy to know that I am helping other families to be united like ours. And the talks about mothers made me really happy! I can not even explain how grateful i am for my mama! She is such an example of someone who serves and loves and has Charity for everyone! Thank you for all that you do mama! I hope one day i can be a good mama like you!
Well that is the gist of what happened this week! I love you all and I am so grateful for your examples in my life! I am beyond HAPPY! I have never been so happy in all of my life! Love you all have a great week! ❤💞💚💜💙
