Week 8

Oct 29, 2012

Hey Hi and Hello there,

Oh how wonderful it is to hear from my oh so stupendous family. Ya'll are the best!! I have been brought to hysterical tears of laughter here in the library as I read some emails so I would say it has been a successful email Monday.

Oh family. This week has been...a special one. Not our best week. Our hearts were broken more than we cared for them to be. Our favorite, dear, sweet Juana Eva called us Monday night to tell us she was going to start babysitting her grandkids and "wasn't going to have time for us anymore." Heart Broken!  And the week just kind of kept going in that direction. HOWEVER we are learning to smile during the tough stuff. 

President told us we need to be sure we are having fun, so the other night we did a puzzle. Haha we aren't really all that pathetic but we are keeping our chins up! 

I have really come to realize how much Father loves all of His children. The focus that the adversary puts on just normal people is proof of that. He knows the worth of EVERY SOUL is great in the eyes of the Lord so he goes after every single soul. (What a butt head. ;) Satan I mean!)  Being on a mission is very hard, and tiring but to be able to feel how much the Savior and Heavenly Father love each of us makes it all worth it! We still have a lot of hope for Juana Eva and we will continue to pray for her. She is just the best!

We have started to teach a family that is all so sweet. We have high hopes for them! We are focused on two sisters right now, Griselda and Rosalba, they are both older but seem to have genuine interest in our lessons. One has been reading the Book of Mormon every night-that's what I am talking about! Please keep them in your prayers!

Well ya'll just keep being great supports and praying for us here in NoHo. We are working hard and doing what we can/know how to serve the Lord with all of our hearts! I love you all and think you are the GREATEST!!!
