Mi hermosa familia,
What is up?!? Life is great, the sun is shining, and the trees are beginning to change color!! Sister Barney and I are soooo incredibly stoked. Holy moly cow. In other news, how about that lunar eclipse last night? Eh? We took some chairs outside on our little 5'x3' patio and did nightly planning and watched it all unfold. So. Rad. WICKED rad, for lack of better words.
I LOVE NATURE
Whenever I am able to take a few minutes to appreciate nature, it helps me remember the enormity of the universe, the grandeur of God, my insignificance and yet exceeding import in His eyes. It's wild. Also, more exciting news! I've started the Book of Mormon again from page numero uno! I just LOVE that book. In honor of 4 months left of full-time missionary work, I've decided to read the entire Book of Mormon with the focus on God's plan specifically for me. It has been a great read so far. I love the first few words. They are so familiar and precious to me. And it makes me realize and appreciate my own goodly parents. Shout out to Lynn and Tammy! You guys rock!
More exciting things from this past week: We set a baptismal date with our good friend Juan! He's 12 years old and super awesome. He does origami as a hobby and I've never seen so much hardcore origami in my life. He made a 3 headed dragon. We were blown away. Also, we were blown away when he accepted baptism! In the past he always said that he wasn't ready yet, and then this week when we were asking him how he was doing he was all, "I think I'm ready to be baptized." Just all calm and stuff. We were all, "whaaaaaaat?" So yeah, super stoked.
Also, last p-day we got together with the zone and had the most awesome ultimate frisbee game I've ever played. Dude. And I've played a lot of ultimate frisbee in my time. So I had Elder Perkes and Elder Asay on my team who are my homies from Washington and those guys are like 6'5". It literally doesn't matter what you throw at them... They just catch it. And then I got to play basketball for the first time on the mish, because I finally found another sister that plays! So fun!
Anyways, life is good. This week has been so joyful and so fun! I have stretched and learned so much. Sister Barney is the best companion in the whole world. I love being able to serve with my homies. I am so grateful for the power of prayer! I know that He is listening. It truly is a form of work, but it is the best kind of work! I loved the General Women's Conference when they called us all to repentance- to return to the basics of prayer and scripture study. (Also, Elder Uchtdorf literally just told a story, bore his testimony, and then dropped the mic and walked away... He is the coolest) I love this gospel! I love God! I love you all! You're pretty cool people.
Con amor,
Hermana Libre
