GRINGO CONFERENCE. soooo good. All but one of us are from Utah haha
October 5, 2015
Yup... I’m quoting Miley Cyrus. But it is true! I
have loved all of the hard things and good things and am realizing so much more
that it is the climb that makes it worth it.
This week was great. On pday
I decided to make a dress out of a shirt and skirt I had because I was so
desperate for something new. Turns out I lost a bit of my sewing ability and
sewed the waist too small. I think before, I would have been frustrated, but I
just thought, "what a fun experience it was to sew and relax a
little". It is always about the experience and progression like we learned
in conference.
AND I pretty much know
Elder Stevenson...bishop because he came to my stake and talked to each of us
and we shook his hand, we were all excited for him! How cool.
haha... one of our
investigator’s 19 year old son had his appendix burst, so when we went to visit
her, there was Susanna and her grandma and great aunt. We tried to teach a
lesson but they were SO FUNNY. Little old grandmas making crazy comments. I was
crying they had me laughing so hard haha…
The little things and
miracles have stunned me this week. In trying to open my eyes to the Lord’s
miracles, I realize they are everywhere. And BIG. The sky, the clouds, the
people, the smiles, the principles. I loved it all.
Also, we were serving the
bishop’s wife and folding laundry and the bishop came home and bought us PIZZA.
Best ward ever.
If anything, I have felt
the grace of the Lord and HIS STRENGTH this week. A lot of things here have
seemed like insurmountable hurtles for me, but in just TRUSTING and giving up
what I want, He has shown me the miracles and really truly CHANGED ME. I know
that you can run faster than you have strength because it is not YOUR STRENGTH.
You got to rely on Him.
I’m so grateful to be here
in this beautiful place... of garbage, disease stricken dogs, poverty,
mountains of rice and loving people, LEARNING THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
I realize me and the family
proclamation have completed 20 years.... so old. I feel I cannot contain the
joy that the lord has provided and given me in this time to learn of His love
and bask in the JOY OF THE GOSPEL.
Love you from Peru.
