HAPPY NEW WEEK! I am so old. I turned 20 yesterday and I will never be a
teenager again! So sad, but it was such a great day!! Hermana Castleton
decorated the apartment, got me a cake, gave me a BEAUTIFUL skirt that I
absolutely love and made me breakfast!! My companion is the best ♥ I am
so blessed.
So this week so many good things happened but I am going
to get the small amount of bad new out of the way! I have tendinitis in
my feet and its REALLY bad in my left foot, and I didn't know what is
was so I walked on it for about 3 weeks. OOPS! So this week I have to
stay in the house all week and I stayed in 2 days this week. At first
it made me SO frustrated and I wasn't sleeping well and I was starting to
get depressed because I felt like I was wasting the Lord´s time just
sitting on the couch all day with my feet up. I did a lot of praying to
feel at peace but it wasn´t until last night that I really started to
feel okay. Hermana Castleton and I planned for 3 hours trying to find
people that would go out and teach with her and a place I could stay
while they worked. MOTHER DEAREST you are not allowed to worry.
Tendinitis is very common and it goes away with ice, rest, and Advil (:

Okay now the good stuff! We found 4 young women non members who's
family are less active, and invited them to the young women's activity
last Friday and two of them, and one of their mothers went!!!!!! we had
8 girls in total show up this week when the average is 2! I really hope
they take me out of the Relief Society and put me in with those girls. I
love the relief society so much but I just love being with those young
women! But in reality the relief society is going well! I had to wing a
lesson last week since the President forgot to tell us she was going to
be out of town and it went pretty well (: Before I would have passed
out in front of the class trying to teach but We are so used to teaching
here it wasn't even a stress (: Hermana Rybak (the relief society Pres)
is going to be out of town for 2 months so we are kind of in charge right
now, which is kind of ridiculous because we have changes the 24th so I'm
not sure how were going to handle that yet if I have to leave this
sector but we will see! ♥
We also are setting up a noche hogar (night home) with the elders and they are
going to do an object lesson with candles and the Restauración (restoration) so I`ll
let you know how it goes next week!
ALSO WE HAD A REACTIVATION THIS WEEK!!!!! ♥♥♥ Maria Teresa got a calling and has gone to church 7 weeks in a row
and taught a class for me in relief society and is going to accompany us
all day Tuesday to go to some appointments! We are thrilled!! and also MARIA IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!! ♥♥♥ we had been teaching
her in my old sector for about 2 months and I went back to teach her
with Hermana Leavitt in divisions last week and we asked her to be
baptized and she has a date for this Saturday WEEEEEEE!!!!!! (:
Okay I am out of time to write, but I just want to
let my beautiful family know that I love you. I miss you guys more every
day, just because teaching families about eternal families makes me so
thankful that I already have one that is sealed(: But I know that life
can be really hard and even depressing in moments, but the Lord already
knows. He knows you.(: Ask him for help and make promises to him daily
that you will try to be better♥ He is loving and forgiving and He
understands. The atonement is real and tangible and our sorrow can be
matched and conquered with happiness if we just do as Alma the younger
does and remember the teachings of the prophets and repent. I love you
guys to the MOON AND BACK.
Que éste bien ♥ xoxoxo
