Today is the one year mark of me getting woken up at 1:44 am in Mexico City to find out I would be going home 2 hours later...and find myself in my bedroom in Stansbury by 6 pm that night. What a WILD day and SO much has happened since then! Crazy!
This week was pretty bland as far as lessons go haha. The majority of our lessons fell through this week which was a huge bummer. But the ones that did happen were really good! We've been teaching a guy named Dennis. He's so cool. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he came to our next lesson asking us all these detailed questions. Turns out ...he's read a ton of the book already! He went to the lake, sat down, and read it. AMAZING! He is so cool!
I don't have a ton of time, but the coolest thing happened! Wednesday was a particularly hard day, emotions were high the whole day. To be completely honest, it was one of the very hardest days of my entire mission. That night was full of some of the deepest prayer I have ever offered. The next morning, we started off on some exchanges (I went with sister Burch yeehaw!). At 8:30 am we got a call from a senior missionary asking if we had time to go do a session in the TEMPLE!! I'll tell you right now I broke down in tears. The biggest tender mercy I've ever received. The morning after the hardest night of my mission I got to go to the temple and spend time in the celestial room. I am here to testify that there is not a more peaceful place on earth. To be in the celestial room is literally like being in heaven. So what did I learn this week? God answers prayers!! I've have so many prayers answered that you would think I wouldn't have to learn that lesson so many times, but I have learned it again. So anyways, God answers prayers, and the temple is la casa del SeƱor!
Les quiero!!!
