How are you all doing this week??? Lots of fun it looks like!!! How's school?? You still send the kids right??haha
Wow!!!I am so happy for Janae!! She will love her mission!! Its a lot of sacrifice to live the gospel or make choices that lead you on the right path for everyone but it is totally all worth it. I feel like the more time I am out here the harder it gets but at the same time the Lord gives me more strength and teaches me more and more. he never leads our side and will be there through it all. So when do the rest of the missionaries leave and where are they going?? I can't believe Brent will be next...that´s so crazy!!! The mission is such a great experience they will all have something different to take on but it will be awesome. And holy cow Lauren is a mom!!!! That is so crazy!!!! Her baby girl is precious tho!!! I can't wait to meet her!! She is so beautiful!! Crazy to see all the stuff that happens in just nine months. Everyone is off getting married, having babies, and going on missions and just growing up!! Its insane how fast time flies!! We are ending another transfer here on the mission. It is scary because every day just goes faster and faster!!! I am looking for a pause button still haha Let me know if you find it, okay?? And awe my sweet Bryson...I sure miss that boy!!!! Hug him and kiss him a lot for me!!:) Hug everyone for me haha
As for me things here are going well. The heat is taking a chill pill and not trying to kill us anymore...well kinda haha It is still really hot but it winding down from what it was like before. The people here joke that there are only two stations here in Hermosillo summer and the train station haha It may be only funny it Spanish but I think you guys will get it. As a zone we are thinking of making I survived a summer in Hermosillo shirt when the summer finishes at the end of October. Its like the shirts they have for scary roller coaster or huge mountains people climb and stuff like that but we need one for here. Nobody will understand it but we will haha My companion and I have found lots of families to teach this weeks!! Its amazing how the Lord lets us show our faith and work hard and in the last two weeks here has lead us to have some amazing experiences and find some awesome families. Its fun to teach people about the gospel but when you can find an entire family that makes all the difference. We have been so blessed to find a lot these passed weeks!! We are being blessed that's for sure!!! We have also started doing more activities with the ward so that they can invite their friends. We are teaching English classes which brings lots of new people to teach and are working a lot with the members. Its been giving us lots of success now, we have to do our part and teach them well and with the spirit. We are also teaching family history classes. We are busy busy busy!!! There is not ever enough time in the day but we have been greatly rewarded. The ward is looking a lot fuller too every Sunday because we have been focusing a lot on less actives too. All our efforts are being blessed. The Lord always blesses us but sometimes it is after the trial of our faith!! I am always being taught while I am out here that not everything is at the time I want it to be or in the way I want it because the Lord knows the when and where and why to everything and if we are going to do his work we have to do it in his way...no other way works!!!
Well LOVE you all sooo much!!! Take care and we will talk more next week!!!! Promise!!
