Hola Familia!
Life is good here in Sucre! Holy cow! I am so so excited for Molly and
her mission call! AH! The mission is the greatest most amazing thing in the
world. She is going to love it and be so amazing!!! We worked hard this week
and it was hard but we have a handful of new investigators so hopefully we can
see some progress with them! We taught one family this week, the Familia Copa.
The father, Edwin, is inactive. He was baptized when he was 10 because at that
time to use the soccer field you had to be a member. He didn't even have a Book
of Mormon which was super sad! His wife, Nohelia, and daughter, Leslie, are not
members. We taught them the parable of the Ten Virgins. This is definitely one
of my favorite parables. The spirit was so strong in this lesson and they have
the sincere desire to do what is right. They just need to gain a testimony of
the Book of Mormon and the Restoration and I have faith that this can happen! I
already have a great love for this family and want so badly that one day they
can get sealed in the temple!
Mom mentioned that she wanted to know what my everyday life is like, so
here is my average day:
6:30 wake up, say my prayer, work out (which consists of jump roping or
ballet haha)
7:00 get ready, eat breakfast (this week was strawberry yogurt, oats,
and bananas)
8:00 personal study (Book of Mormon, New Testament, Preach my Gospel)
9:00 companionship study
10:00 language study--right now were reading the ensign, me in Spanish
and Hna Bolaños in English and are working on our pronunciation.
11:00 go out and work and teach. The mornings are a little hard because
we rarely have set appointments but it's good:)
1:00 eat lunch which always is soup with a second course of rice and
meat and veggies and with a postre which can be fruit or yogurt or flan or
jello
2:00 leave to go teach some more and bring the people of Sucre unto
Christ:)
8:30ish eat dinner
9:15ish plan for the next day
10:30 go to sleep!
It's pretty excited I know....:) but really it is great! I love having
a schedule to follow and I know that it is divine! I love studying in the
morning and it prepares me for the day and for what we are going to teach!
This week we had a special training with the president and his wife. It
was exactly what I needed. They talked about using our time wisely and this is definitely
something I need to get better at. I have never been super great at using my
time well so I am excited to get better at this! President and Hermana Dyer are
so great and I am so grateful for them!
Yesterday we had a special training about ward counsel for the area and
they showed a training with Nolan Taylor as the mission president. So that was
cool! haha.
I'm sorry my emails aren't super exciting or funny haha. I'm not good
with words, but yeah, all is well! And I am happy. Hermana Bolaños and I get
along super well and laugh all the time!
I love you all! xoxoxoxox
