What more can I say? This week has been crazy! So many ups and downs, but so much fun! I leave for Texas tomorrow. I have my Mormon.org cards ready, my Book of Mormon in Spanish, my pamphlets, and my broken Spanish to try and talk to everyone!! Even in the airport! We'll see what happens! They will probably just wonder who this random white girl is that's trying so hard to talk to them about how God loves them! Watch out, Texas and Mexico airport!!!
But mainly, there have been many goodbyes this week. Yesterday I said goodbye to my whole district and I definitely shed some tears... They became my best friends. Now I am in a trio with two sisters who are my besties and roomies here, and who are going to my same mission! We are officially the missionaries who have been here longest in the whole CCM! It feels pretty strange to be the oldest. I can't believe Kobe is already in Argentina!! Argentina steals all of my friends! I feel like even I love the Argentine people.. solely because they are my homies' homies. I am so excited for her though.
I talked to Hermana Archuleta!! We both know this guy named Jaxon, who I taught with in Ukraine! Pretty funny. Also, she was started to say that David was her role model, and I replied that he was mine too, but then she finished with "...in video games. He always beats me! All the mario games, he always wins!".... Awkward. hahaha, that is my life!
I just wanted to share this talk by Elder Holland, because I know people are always wondering what us Mormons really believe about who God is, who Jesus Christ is, and if we are Christians, and this talk explains it so well!!
Just click play on the video! :) I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. It is difflicult to explain this in English, almost, haha, but it is so true. Yo se que JesuCristo es el redentor del mundo! Y Dios es nuestro amoroso Padre Celestial. Sin este conocimiento, yo no puedo ser feliz! I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and is the best evidence of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth again.
I am so grateful for all of my many awesome friends that I have, and family. I love you all so much. This week, I've experienced several trials, but the Lord is always there to help. He has helped me through every trial, and he will help you if you trust him! I love you so very much!
PS-This is a pic of one of my besties and I, and the other is my district! :)
