This week
was nuts. First off, I got to go to the temple with Juan and Edwin to do
baptisms for the dead and it was so amazing. I didn’t know it was possible to
be so happy! And afterwards when we were taking pictures I got to see Hermana
Lively!! I said a little prayer I would get to see her but I knew the chances
were so small. Well I have a testimony that God really does care about the
smallest mundane things in our lives because I got to see her. We both cried, a
lot. haha I love her and know she will be an amazing missionary!! This week a
lot happened but the funniest was lunch with Hermana Rivera. For those who may
have noticed I am a little rounder around the edges, yes I have gained a few
pounds. It is all due to the cute women in this ward who feed us so much food..
Hermana Rivera is in her 60’s and feels that because we walk all day we need
enough food to last all day. You would not believe how much food she fed us and
if we didn’t finish it, she would be so upset. So my companion and I came up
with a strategy. My companion would point to a picture on the wall and ask
about it while I rapped some food up in a napkin and threw it in my backpack.
We did this the whole meal. Pictures for evidence. Good times I tell you. haha
this week flew by with a whole lot of ups and downs but overall I am just so
grateful. We had a conference this week with Elder Bednar and his wife and she
said, "Be the kind of missionary your mother thinks you are." I have
a lot of work to do! I know this church is true with all my heart. Elder Bednar
said. "No human being could create this gospel. It is not possible for a
human mind to create something that could bring happiness to people in Chile
and Mongolia. China and the United States." I know this is true! I would
just like to close with words of wisdom from my brother Preston. Short people
got all the reason to preach. Truer words have never been spoken! Til next
week. Love you all.

with Juan and Edwin. The paper Juan is holding is his certificate for the
priesthood.
He is so proud of it and wanted it in all the pictures.
