I”VE DONE BEEN MISSIONAIRED!

9-26-16

ALOHA Fam!! 

Such a blessing that it is no longer 1000 degrees in the mornings like it has been!   I feel fall coming soon!! It is cool early in the mornings but then it feels like its mid July by the time noon hits!  

This week was so gooooood!! We had our quarterly Temple Trip on Thursday and then exchanges with the STLs on Friday!  Oh and the Temple was so wonderful!  I absolutely love the feeling of peace there that I cannot get in any other place.  I am constantly amazed at the beautiful world we live in.  And the perspective of eternity makes this life seem so short yet so significant.  I always leave the temple feeling better than I did before.  It was also so fun seeing so many missionaries that I have become friends with over the past year!  Friends that will last beyond the mission.  

Our stls are Sister Benioni (my Hawaiian bff from the CCM) and Sister Anderson (my trainee and bff while serving in Athens, AL)  Both my past companions!!  It was SO much fun to be with them, two of my favorite people in the mission, and seeing how Sister Anderson has grown and changed so much from when i first trained her many moons ago!  And of course Sister Benioni, we have been together since the VERY beginning and have gone through alot together! I was her stl last transfer and now she is mine!  So fun!!  Sister Anderson and I went to Mi Pueblo, it is basically a walmart for hispanics that are found all around Alabama!  We talked to this older hispanic man and started reading with him in the Book of Mormon in the middle of one of the isles! He looked at me directly and asked me why I am here, at a Mi Pueblo, giving him this book, it was a wonderful opportunity I had to share my testimony of the truthfulness of the message we share and how, if he allows it, that book can bless his life.  We had an awesome conversation!!  Also on that same exchange, we were looking for a hispanic less active family and instead we met a lady who's son is a member and attends the spanish branch in Birmingham, AL!  So cool and such a tender mercy from Heavenly Father!

A few more highlights!! The General Womens Conference was SO GOOD.  It was just what I needed to hear and feel to be uplifted and renewed!  It was full of concrete TRUTH.  I want to be Bonnie L. Oscarson when I grow up. 

After the broadcast, since we had some LAs in attendance at the church, the senior missionaries showed a wonderful documentary made by BYU about the Book of Mormon called, A New Day for the Book of Mormon.  It is found onbyutv.org I think. It was SO GOOD.   I encourage all of you to go and watch it!  

Funny story!  We get a random call during one of our lessons from an unknown number.  When we get out, we call them back and a lady who lives in Selma, Alabama said that she got the wrong number, but she was very nice so we just talked to her about how funny the situation was that we are in Demopolis and she used to live here blah blah blah.  We told her who we were and why we were here and she just says "Well uhh....I am Baptist, and you two ladies are very nice, but uh...I've done been missionaried."  We got a real good kick out of that!!  

Emmaus Experience: 

Tracting we met the cutest little hispanic lady, *****, and her two daughters.  They let us in and we shared with her that we were missionaries, here to help people come closer to Christ as well as share a beautiful message of Jesus Christ and families.  This lady was the sweetest, kindest woman!  She told us it is refreshing to see young women like us trying to help people, she gave us water, commended us for our effort, and told us to come back next week.  Later that week we saw a hispanic loaded stuff into his truck, we went up and helped him and had a nice conversation, when we told him who we were he responded and said "Yes I know who you are, my wife told me about you.  She really likes you two girls."  It was the lady's husband!!   Its a small world in the tiny town of Demopolis Alabama hahaha

We are working hard here in Demopolis! Sorry this email is so short this week!

Matthew 6:33- "Mas buscad primeramente el reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas estas cosas os seran anadidas." A little thought- We always go where we set our eyes. If we look to the Kingdom of God first that is where we will go! If we do everything, that means keeping all the commandments, and understanding that all these "rules" from our Just God keeps us safe, the Lord will provide. It is that simple of a blessing! You go where you face so set your eyes on the temple, on the kingdom, on the LORD! I know that he will always add to our faith and is always ready to bless us.  But we must first set our eyes on theeternally important things.  

I love you all!! Que Dios les bendiga!  

Con mucho amor,
