Hello, hello! How are you all?
This past week was grreeaatt! Hard, of course,
but really great. Lots of daily miracles. We even received manna from heaven.
no joke. There's a german bakery on the island and through a member friend of
the owner, we got to go and get their left over bread on Friday. We're
talking three huge flour sacs FULL of delicious german bread, people! Sis. Tait
and I are real big fans of bread, so we definitely had a wonderful time.
Luckily we had zone meeting the next day and we gave most of it away to the
other missionaries, but don't worry. we still have lots in our freezer.
You know the scripture in the bible about tithing and how if we pay it we'll receive more blessings than we have room to receive? that's what our bread blessing felt like. God is very good to his missionaries. :)

Spanish is coming
along. haha. we try to speak it as much as we can together, which is limited
because of our lack of knowledge, but we try! haha. Language study consists of
many things. haha. we have grammar books we work out of and do activities and
practices together and test each other on vocab. everyday is a little different
:) also Spanish lessons with real people hardly exist. we teach this very old
mexican lady sometimes.
Guess
what I found out!! Turns out it's not a rule that everything has to be sent to
the mission office. I think Sis. Sarmiento Wolff just thought that cause all
the mail she gets is from Chile and stuff. I dunno. but ya! packages are safer
if you send them to the mission office because otherwise they sit outside our
door till we get home, buttttttttt ya! woo!! fun fact. whoop whoop!
So once a week we go to Port Aransas, a small
fisherman's town that is about a 25 minute drive from North Padre. This week
when we went, we taught a lady from Honduras! in Spanish. and she accepted a
baptismal date!! Milagros. The gospel must be true if two very new missionaries
can teach someone in broken Spanish and have them want to be baptized. That was
a cool experience cause it was Sis. Tait's first BD and it was in Spanish! in
Corpus! so awesome.
As I briefly mentioned above, we had our zone
meeting this past Saturday. We had some great trainings and then we got in
a circle and all of us bore our testimonies of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
The spirit was very strong and I loved every second. I have a strong testimony
of the atonement, and it's growing more and more every day. As missionaries,
we're responsible for A LOT of things and we make A LOT of mistakes. I'm so
grateful that even though I make a lot of mistakes and that it's hard, I can be
forgiven and keep moving forward and progressing. The atonement is real. Its
healing power and its enabling power know no bounds. We are so incredibly
blessed to have access to such infinite power. I cannot fully express my
gratitude for it. I love my God and my Savior!
I'm loving being a missionary and learning so
much everyday. Thanks for all of your prayers and support, I need it. :) I love
you all!
