So the title this weeks comes from a study sesh of 2
Nephi 4 this past week when was bored. I think I was a bit tired and
you know how your mind just runs and things get crazy. (well, I know
that Lyndi understands me and will get this reference way better.) I was
reading that chapter and I got the 25th verse and there Nephi says that
he was carried away on the wings of the Spirit or something and I don´t
know how my brain made the connection but the chorus of that old song
"Wings of Love" came into my head and it was just really weird and
awesome. Also It made me realize how unfocused I was and made me focus
in. Win win situation.
Remeber that woman who came into the chapel a month
ago alone and talked to us after? Welllllll she got baptized with her 11
year-old son last saturday and it was EXCELLENT. It was funny because
the water heater was broken so the water was preeeeeetty cold, but
that´s like normal. In one of the last baptismal services we had in that
chapel, one of the people screamed when they got in the water and it
was really funny, but Liliana was strong. She stepped in, said "OH MY!"
under her breath, looked at me already standing in the water, sucked it
up and put on a smile and went in. She was sooooooo happy after. It was
just a great day for her and her son. We were pretty happy too I guess.
Oh yeah, and the like 30 family members (not members of the church) taht
she had invited all clapped after she came out of the water. That was
prettty awesome too ahhaha.
So I don´t know if I have like insomnia or
something, but I just am a person who does not sleep a lot. We have 8
hours in our missionary schedule where we are in bed and should be
asleep, but I m like weird and wake up in the night for no reason and
just like think for a while, fall back asleep, and the wake up lik a
half hour or hour before the alarm in the morning and just like hang out
waiting for it to be 6:30
so I can get up. And it´s not like during the day I am tired or
anything, I just don´t sleep a lot I guess. But on Tuesday, we had a
super long day where we just walked sooooo much it was crazy and my comp
and I got home just wasted. That night, I slept through the whole night
heavily and woke up to the alarm (for the first time in a while) and
somehow my top retainer was like on the ground next to my bed instead of
in my mouth. It was a new experience hahhaa. The mssion is pretty great
hahaha.
These past few weeks after the conference with Elder
Uceda we have been pushing pretty hard with our ward to get the work
moving and trying to do stuff better. It whas been SPECTACULAR. The ward
leaders are leaving on visits with us now, they are working hard with
their corresponding people, and we are seeing the progress in the people
we visit. It just makes us so pumped up to see the changes we are
making in ourselves and the blessings that have come as a result. The
church attendance in our ward has almost double since the push and
everyone has been serving a lot more within the ward! It is amazing!
Please help the missionaries in your areas!!! They need it and the
people they visit need it. It is the best everrrrrr!
I love you all!!!!! Read the Book of Mormon!!!!
