Just another week in the life

What a week. Between organizing emergency transfers, planning for a Leadership training, divisions, Mother´s Day, and everything else, we´ve been busy busy.  I have to say, I´m so very grateful for revelation, for prayer and a Heavenly Father that helps and guides us with His infinite wisdom. There were lots of things to do this week, and maybe number-wise it wasn´t the best week we´ve ever had, but I was amazed to see that the Lord´s plan isn´t always what we think we want to do. On Tuesday, which happened to be Mother´s Day here in Mexico, Hna Vargas and I felt the need to visit some sisters and let them know that they are loved.  We made little Mother´s day cards with scriptures and quotes and delivered them to various sisters in the ward. One sister latter told us that when she got home from work late that night, she was feeling discouraged and stressed as a single mother with 2 little girls. When she saw our card, she cried and cried. We heard similar things from all the sisters. One less active member, that has more than a year without going to church, went to church this last week with her four little kids and told us that it was because through us she was able to feel the love of her Heavenly Father again and decided she wanted her kids to receive the blessings of the gospel. Sometimes these people just need to know they are loved. Love, the pure love of Christ, works miracles. 

We´re also starting to experience the wonderful rain season. I still believe the best time to knock doors is when it´s raining, the people usually feel bad and let us in. Haha. And it just wouldn´t be a mission if we didn´t have to face extreme weather every once in a while. My companion and I realized today that we have 3 months and 3 weeks together...and we´ve only got 3 months and 3 weeks left in the mission. Craziness. I´ve honestly come to love Hna Vargas so much and I feel so grateful for everyday I have here in the mission to keep learning and growing along with my companion. This next week we will be traveling with President and the Assistants to give some training sessions. It should be fun. Everyday´s just an adventure. 

Nos vemos,
