Helloooo (:
How has it only been a week since I talked with you all?
This week went by fast, but it seemed like so many things happened. Time is so
weird on a mission. It really is.
Anyway, I spent the majority of this week in Santa Maria for
Conselho da Missão with all the leadership in the mission. Holy cow, our
leaders here are SO powerful. I left that meeting with a new sense of
motivation and determination to do my very best and help as many people as I
can. I'm also very excited to put all these things into practice with the
Sisters that we are going to be doing exchanges with this transfer. This time
is far too short, but I know that I am working with the Lord and that He truly
is helping me reach my full potential. This week, as I returned back to
Uruguaiana, I felt different. I felt like I knew what I needed to do, and I
felt like the Spirit guided everything that I was doing. It was absolutely
perfect.
So along with my trip to Santa Maria, I spent 15 hours on
the bus this week. So there's that.
My new companion is Sister Lins, who is such a doll. She's
from São Paulo and is absolutely incredible. I am learning so many things from
her. She is finishing up her mission this transfer, which is the craziest thing
in the world. But we are working like CRAZY and are expecting baptisms weekly
(: When she got here, she said, "Sister, acho que eu chegei no céu."
It is SO true. It really is like heaven here. I love it far too much.
I love this work way too much. Sister Lins asked me this
week, "Sister, why do you think that you are really here? Why is it that
you are working so hard here?" I thought about it for awhile, and the only
answer that I had was gratitude. How grateful I am that I have a Savior who
paid the price of sin for me! How grateful I am that I was able to change my
life in such a way that I could be serving here as a missionary, helping others
find this happiness that I have found! How grateful I am for this gospel in my
life, that has truly done everything for me! I'm just grateful. And for that, I
am working as hard as I can here.
I love you all so much and I hope that all is well (: I pray
for each of you and I know that the Lord is watching over you. Thank you for
all your thoughts and prayers and letters and everything. I love you all (:
