Hi everyone!
I cant believe it is already May! The weeks and months
seem to be passing so quickly. I am approaching my 8 month mark! I can't believe
it! I want time to slowdown!
We have been working with a lot of less active members in
the wards we cover. It has been such a blessing to be in their homes! We have
made goals with almost all of them to get them back to the Temple! So exciting!
They are all coming back to church, and looking forward to walking through the
doors of the House of the Lord again.
Sister Bound and I continue to find new investigators! We
are hoping for 2 of them to have a baptismal date here in the next few days!
This week, all of the missionaries in our district were
able to help with a free car wash at the church! While people were getting
their cars washed, they were offered a free tour of the church building! We as
the missionaries were assigned to give everyone the tour of the building. There
were 3 people who walked into the building who only spoke Spanish. Funny thing
is, I am the only Spanish missionary in our district! So, I got to give the
tour of the church by myself! I was really nervous at first, because I hasn't
spoken Spanish in so long.
But, we were all able to feel the Spirit, especially as
we walked into the chapel. It was so cool! The church is true in English, AND
Spanish!
I have been reflecting a lot on the Earthly ministry of
Christ. I am reading the New Testament and focusing on His life, and how He
treated others. It has been an amazing experience to read the words of our
Advocate, and how He genuinely loved everyone He came across. I have been
inspired by Him, and I have challenged myself to offer kindness and help to all
I have met. I have felt myself become happier, and enjoy my time in Arizona so
much more. I have been able to feel of the Spirit more, and to feel of the
peace that is offered by and through His Atonement. I am so grateful for the
perfect example that Christ continues to show! I challenge you each to find how
you can serve those around you this week!
I love you all so much! I am thankful for all the support
you each have given me. I hope I can pay it forward.
Love you! Until next week!

We played mini golf for our district activity today!
Afterward we went to a Korean restaurant! Super fun!
