Valentine´s day was barely mentioned here in Morelia due to all the excitement of the Pope. But there were a few creative people that decided to mix the two together by selling giant stuffed hearts with the Pope´s face on it and stuff like that. We had to go to Guadalajara this last week to sign my comapnion´s visa, and it wasn´t the easiest thing in the world trying to travel with the Pope in Mexico, but we made it. Today nearly all the main roads are closed, there´s a million parked cars and no people. Everyone parked as close as they could and walked the rest to find a spot to camp and wait for the Pope. Craziness. But don´t worry, the work of the Lord continues. We even had one of our new investigators attend church with us yesterday. He´s absolutely golden. His name´s Carlos. And tonight we´ll be having a Family Home Evening with him and some of our recent converts. It should be fun. Today for P-day we played some basketball and soccer with the youth. You´d think after a year in Mexico I would have gotten at least a little better at soccer, but the reality is, I´m still not very good. But there´s still 6 months to pick up some skills from these kids.
Well, there´s not much more to tell ya. Everything´s going super well and I´m just trying to enjoy every minute. I feel so privileged to be able to be here, to be able to serve as a representative of Jesus Christ. I love these people so much. Even if not everyone wants to accept our message, we´re all children of God and He is helping me to see His children through His eyes. While this valentine´s day I didn´t receive any flowers or heart shaped chocolates, I was able to share the greatest message of love there is. ¨For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son...¨
Les amo tanto,
Hermana Anderson
