Hola Familia!
Well, it sounds like you all are doing awesome, it was great to hear from you for a second last night, and hopefully tonight we´ll be able to talk a little bit! I just have to call the assistants and get permission to call tonight, and I should be alright to call! If I don´t call, just know that I couldn´t get permission and I´ll just have to email you next week! No worries.
Everything is going great here in Patzicia! We´re just working hard and doing our best to gain the trust of the members. They are basically astounded when we show up at their house wanting to get to know them and come in and share a little message. It´s incredible, because missionary work CANNOT be done without the members. The missionaries before us supposedly didn´t visit the members very much, and we´re seeing the effects of that. One family even asked us if we had permission to visit them!
Alright, it´s official. I´m now a bucket showerer! We ran out of water (The water that goes to the shower) for a couple of days and we had to shower out of buckets of freezing cold water! Haha I just stood in the shower with my bucket and couldn´t stop laughing (I warmed the water up on the stove the first time… ha!). These are experiences that you just can´t have without serving a mission. I´m so thankful to my Heavenly Father for always giving me these awesome experiences.
Alright, now the ¨REAL¨ awesome experience. A little while back we started visiting a member who has to live in a wheel chair. He is pretty young but all of a sudden he just started losing the strength in his legs. He said he had received a blessing from one of the area general authorities years back, and that it was a really spiritual experience. He talked REALLY highly of this experience, and said that he wanted another blessing. Well, I just let the spirit guide and it was one of the most incredible experiences ever. The spirit was SO strong! The words just kept coming to my head, and if they didn´t, I´d just wait.
Well, I was feeling pretty forgotten and hadn´t gotten any letters for a while, when all of a sudden today I got a bunch of letters! Thanks for the letters!
Love you all so much, I´ll talk to you later!
