Haupei Yall!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LIL BRO CRUZ!!! Cannot believe he is 11!
Happy Things!
1. We had divisions this week with our awesome Hermana Lideres! AKA my "tia" Hermana Cardenas, also another hermana that is in the same group to go home with. And oh goodness how I love her! She is a great missionary and a great friend and more anything leads by example. It was a great division and I learned a TON!
2. Our stake had a fun activity for all the recent converts in the stake! A lot of interactive activities, but also a lot of spiritual strengthening. We got to take Juan Carlos and Elias and they had a blast getting to know all the other converts in the stake! We also got to see all the missionaries from the other zone too, aka my sweet Hermana Tandiman and her HIJA! Shes the best.
3. On Sunday we had to recoger our convert to go to church. We ended up leaving late from their house for things that we could not control and we arrived late to sacrament meeting. It was right when they were doing the Santa Cena, and in our ward if you are not there when they start to sing the sacrament hymn, you are shut out until the end. I cannot begin to describe the pain and heartache I felt being locked out from taking the sacrament. I have learned here on the mission to really prepare for the sacrament so that I am prepared to take it and truly be sanctified from my sins. I felt a total loss and wondered how I was going to be able to get through a whole week without the renewal of my covenants and a renewed promise of the Spirit. I was reminded of the story of the women with the lamps. We need to be prepared and on time or we will miss out on the bridegroom. Luckily, we were so blessed and humbled to have the opportunity to take the sacrament, just us, after the meeting because of our loving bishop. In that moment my heart was lifted and I truly felt the blessings of the spirit and cleanliness that comes from repenting of our sins and starting over again. It truly strengthened my testimony of the sacrament and I never want to miss it again!
