Hola Hola,
So today I am just
kind of at a loss of words. I feel like there is so much that I want to say and
that`s what makes me feel like I don`t know what to say. But I guess I will
start out that this week was another good one full of ups and downs. I really
feel like I have just tried to enjoy every moment with out getting too
frustrated or down on myself and that has made it good. We have been
concentrating on Obedience a lot this week and it hit me a lot that my desire
to be obedient has grown immensely throughout my mission. I remember at the
beginning that I wouldn`t really feel that bad if we left the house late or
things like that, but now I feel so guilty if we do or just little things like
that in myself which has been a great realization. I have a complete desire to
be 100% obedient. The mission really does change someone and how incredibly
grateful that I am for that!
Anyways, this week
we got to watch "Conozca a los Mormones" or in English Meet the
Mormons and it was soooo good! I thought I was going to have to wait until
after to see it, but we had zone conference this week and they showed it to all
of us. Of course it made me cry when they showed the part about the
missionaries - mom I can only imagine how you were. Haha. But it was all in Spanish
and I loved it! Then right after they made a group of us give our goodbye
testimonies and man was that hard. Mom, I hate to admit it, but I am so much
more of a crier than before, just like you haha. The main point that I felt
impressed to share with the rest of the missionaries was that everything was
worth it. That all of the hours spent walking in the rain or being rejected by
people or hard companions or investigators dropping us is all worth it. Not
everything is going to work out like we hope, but it will be for our good. Just
like Joesph Smith said in Liberty Jail in D&C 122:7, "And if thou shouldst
be cast into the pit, or into the hands of
murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge
conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens
gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and
above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open
the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give
thee experience, and shall be for thy
good."
I know this to be true for a fact
and I know I say this almost every week, but I am just so grateful for my
mission experience. I wouldn`t trade the lessons that I have learned for anything.
As far as
investigators go, Claudia and her 4 daughters came to church yesterday and are
progressing great for their baptismal date for the 31st. Andrea, Carolina, and
Emiliana went on vacation this past week and didn`t get back in time for church
yesterday so their baptism will have to be pushed back too, but we made a
packet of homework for them to do everyday while they are on vacation :) and
they did it all, so we are excited to see what they learned.
I love you all sooo
much and Bri I hope that your baby comes soon! I can`t believe that you are
over due, but at least mom and dad can be there for it. Mom and Dad, glad you
guys had an awesome experience in the MTC and will be in the DR next week! I
can`t believe Elder Bednar remembered me and asked about me! That`s sweet!
Enjoy every minute and make sure you are all good boys and good girls as Elder
Bednar says.
Con mucho amor,
Hermana Romney
