Spanish is coming slowly but surely. Like I've said, it's
definitely a challenge in the states when most the day you use English,
but I love being called Spanish speaking. I got to meet the ward
yesterday (since conference was the previous Sunday) and they are all
just amazing. We had testimony meeting, and I don't know that I've ever
been to a more powerful testimony meeting. All of them bore such
powerful testimonies of the Savior and His Atonement, which really is
the center of everything we do. So yeah, Hispanics are really just the
most loving people, even towards a tall white girl who barely speaks
their language. I love working with them. And of course the food is
always amazing.
Also, since we are in the states, Spanish people are
kinda spread out which is where the ward really comes in. They are
fantastic at giving referrals, or names of people that are interested in
the gospel. It's amazing to see how much the gospel means to them and
how badly they want to share it with others. I've never seen that kind
of enthusiasm before.
One of the cool things about being in
this area is that there are so many countries represented and so many
people who will just let you in cause it's their custom to let any
visitors inside. Even if they don't want to hear about the gospel, it's
always nice to be welcomed.
Other than that, all is well.
Missionary work is still hard, but every day gets better. I can testify
that Jesus Christ lives, that He and our Heavenly Father know us better
than we could ever imagine and They are always, always there. It is that
testimony that really makes this work so important. So many people
don't know that one basic truth. The power of the Atonement is real, and
it can help us overcome both the biggest and the smallest of problems. I
love this gospel and feel so blessed to have it is my life. It is true!
Les quiero!
