Hola Familia! Como estan todos?
This week was lovely and crazy and well....a mission. ;) I think I possibly had one of the best days of my life. There are few moments in life where you literally feel like flying and singing and dancing in the street at about 10 pm. Last monday I felt it, but times 20. Its funny too becuase I wasn´t something giant or crazy but I was so. darn. happy. We always try to bring members to our lessons with the people that we visit and Hermana Karina (from the family that was baptized) came with us on monday. And bore an incredibly strong testimony as we talked of the restoration and of doubts that some of our investigators had. And now both of those people that we visited agreed on a baptism date. And I was literally in shock. When we went back to our house I was flipping out with joy. She is incredible. ALSO this sunday her husband was ordained to the Aaronic priesthood and is going to have a calling in the Young Mens. They were baptized like barely a month ago. They found out about the church in DECEMBER. AH. I just cant believe it. They are so faithful and incredible and I feel so humbled to be able to see this whole process. And i´m sorry I talk about them all the time, but its something in my mission that I´m never going to forget.
We are progressing and continuing onward, Hna McClary and I. We are learning together and figuring out all of the problems and difficulties that a mission brings. I got sick this week, but not bed ridden sick, just sick like you're more tired and don´t feel well and missionary work becomes harder. And although I had some moments this week where I just really really didn´t want to walk out the door, we took a deep breath and did it. And it´s amazing to see the progress that you make as you do what heavenly father wants instead of what you want. I have so much to learn in this process, and so much to do and so much to progess. But I will my whole life. And we make mistakes and learn from them and keep going. And it´s not easy. But it´s worth every step. And we have the savior´s atonement to help us along the way.
God loves us and he is wathcing out for us and I know sometimes its just super super hard and we don´t know why but we just keep going. Keep going. Trust in him to make up the difference. I love you all so much. Seriously, I´m so grateful for the support of each and every one of you. Please have a wonderful week of love and happiness. :)
Love,
Hermana Smoot
