Wow. I had no idea I could sweat so much! It has been quite toasty and
humid here in Puerto! Hermana Luna and I have been super grateful for
pulperias that sell us bags of ice cold water, ahaha!
Well, I do not have much time to write today, so this will be a
short one. This week has been all over the place. Being Senior
Companion is a bit stressful, haha! Thankfully, I've got Sister Luna by
my side! She always has ideas and is so willing to do whatever it
takes to help the people here. Truly, she is an example. She has had
some medical issues in the mission, including nerve pain in one of her
legs that makes it hard for her to walk, but she refuses to let that
stop her. She throws herself into this work and completely forgets
herself.
Thursday, we walked into our weekly meeting with the
ward council only to learn that President and Sister Dester were on
their way to our meeting. WHAT?! Well, when they arrived, Hermana Luna
and I had just started giving our report. I was SOOOO nervous. Well,
we made it through and went back to the house. Friday morning, I was
feeling pretty stressed. Between the meeting the night before, some
problems we have had with our landlady, and other difficulties, I was
sitting in personal study searching for some comfort from the
scriptures. I had been praying and was reading about how the Lord
answers prayers, but they didn't give me the same comfort I usually
received. As I was despairing a bit, the phone rang. It was President
Dester. He just wanted to call me and say that he and his wife were so
impressed with my Spanish and my handle on the area that they observed
from the meeting the night before. After a few other sweet things, I
hung up and began to cry. It was truly a tender mercy from the Lord,
and it confirmed my testimony that the Lord truly answers prayers.
Saturday, we had the special opportunity to
participate in a Mini CCM to encourage the young men and young women to
go on their missions! Hermana Luna and I taught about The Restoration
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was a blast! The spirit was so
strong the whole day.
Today, we just went to San Ignacio again. It was fun, especially because Hermana Luna had never been to the beach before!
Anyhoo, I LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!!
Love,
