Week 68
WELL.... its been another week and I'm back! This week in Peru was good!!! This week we had a multizona with the president! The Christmas LIGHT THE WORLD activities are starting and I am so excited!! I think Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I am still a little sad because I won't be with my cute family, but I also am so excited that I get to share a perfect message of Christ with the people here in Peru so that they too can feel the importance of Christ this Christmas season!! It's also a little weird that snow is falling there in Utah and It is getting pretty hot here in Lima!
This week DECEMBER starts! So I hope you all can Light the World one by one and remember Christ always!!
We also had a few missionaries with us this week from the MTC. I felt so old! I never thought I would feel so old. But they thought it was crazy that when I started my mission we couldn't call every week, and crazy that my mission call came in an envelope. But oh well!! I guess time is passing even though it seems pretty darn slow sometimes! But the new little missionaries are cute! It makes me remember when I was scared to death in the MTC and had no idea what I was doing.
Today I was talking to my mom about my mission. I have truly recognized I came on this mission for a reason and I have STAYED on my mission for another very different reason. I left on a mission because of my angel Sofie, because I had a testimony of the plan of salvation, and I knew for some reason I was supposed to serve a mission. Then I came here and it was HARD.... very hard, and I have had to push through and keep going. I am STILL here because I love the Lord. I know that this is his work and I have covenanted to serve him. I can give 18 months of my life to him. I am learning a BUNCH, and I have come to truly know my savior. I am so grateful that I can trust in him and his power. I am so grateful for these almost 16 months that I have been here. I am grateful for every moment the happy and the sad which have helped me grow.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here and to share this gospel!
Love you all so much!!
