Last weekly letter from the mission.
Well, I don't have much more to say today than - SEE YOU SOON! I'll be getting home Wednesday night - And I want to invite all of you to come and see me Sunday when I report on my mission! I'm so excited to see all of you.
Being a missionary has been the greatest experience of my life. I am so grateful that I was called to this work and that I've been able to make it to the end. Every day has been a new lesson - and I know it is just the beginning! I am so excited to bring the mission a casa.
This week was amazing - One of my highlights from this week:
- A missionary activity with the youth of the stake - All of us missionaries in the Zone divided with the youth and went out to preach the gospel! In my group we had a rough time! We didn't find many that wanted much to do with us. But we did have two really amazing experiences: one kind old man that started crying when we started talking to him saying that God had truely sent us to talk to him in that day. And then after about an hour and a half of pure regectment and lots and lots of walking - I told the girls "Don't worry! We are going to find someone right now that will offer us water!" And they all skeptically kept following after me (My group had a few laman and lemuels haha) But we took not even five steps and I felt impressed to knock on a door. We knocked and they invited us in, we sang a hymn and then they offered us water. When the lady said "Do you girls want a glass of water?" All the girls looked straight at me with a face of "HOW DID YOU KNOW?" hahaha it was so great. I loved being part of this activity and seeing these girls grow to have a stronger testimony of missionary work and a stronger desire to prepare and serve the Lord. :)
For the other highlights of my week - You'll have to talk to me later! For Thursday I should be available to tell you all about it ;) haha
Love you all! Have a great week!

Well I couldn't see Hermana Citam like I prayed and hoped for - But God sent Hermana Ayala in my path and I got to see her!
