Well this week flew by. The church came out with a new video for this easter season called GRACIAS A QUE EL VIVE / BECAUSE HE LIVES. As missionaries we have little pass along cards, trying to get as many people as we can to watch it. It is such a powerful video- reminding us that Christ lives and is right here with us....we just have to LOOK for him. I invite you all to watch this video and share this wideo with those you love!
This weekend was general conference. General Conference is a world wide conference we have every 6 months where we get to listen to a living prophet, apostles, and church leaders. It's 8 hours in total, and as it is my 2nd time watching it in spanish I can't help but feel so grateful that i speak english--- the native tongue of our leaders. It's definitely not the same listening to a translator, but nonetheless i could understand everything and feel the great tranquility fill the room as we listened to men and women called of God. General conference is a great opportunity to recieve guidance on how we can better live our lives, how we can grow closer to our heavenly father. During October 2013 conference, i recieved the answer that I needed to serve a mission. I remember being in Utah, and i called my family afterwards and said "HEY I think Iám going to serve a mission!" My family was a bit surprised haha but i just knew so strongly that I needed to go, and everyday here in Monterrey I am so grateful for the strong prompting I recieved during october 2013 conference. I truly know that during these conferences we can recieve guidance and answers to our questions. My favorite talks were by Elder Holland and Gerald Causee--- you all should definitely go watch them!

| Our church buildingWe had a bit of a crazy week with super hot weather and rain, and we also changed houses! It was a spur of the moment decision, but i've moved one street over in a brand new house the bishop's wife has prepared for us :) We are literally 3 houses down from the bishop haha it's great! our new house is very cute-- and get this, our study room is PINK! yes. hot pink walls everyone. it really does motivate me to study. I feel a little bit like Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde hahaha. I truly am learning how to be independent around the house-- fixing water heaters, fans, washing clothes by hand, screwing on toilet seats-- sister missionary life is pretty glamorous. |
Lately I have been drinking lots of cantalope juice-- it is so good here! And omelettes with corn tortillas-- i'm actually diggin' the corn tortillas more than the flour. I'm truly a native. I've learned that the true way to cook them is directly on the stove, without a pan, flipping them with your hands. I'm getting to be a pro.
This sunday we should have a baptism! We are preparing Eduard (10 years old) for his baptism April 12th. This week we also had a few of the 15 and 16 year old girls in my ward accompany us during lessons because they are all on spring break. BECCA THEY REMIND ME OF YOU <3 <3 love and miss you family!!!!
