Holaaa!
Well, this past week
our leaders had a three-day training in McAllen, so we didn't have any meetings
till Saturday!! It was amazing. Don't get me wrong, I love our meetings. I
learn lots and love being with the missionaries. The only problem is that we
don't have as much time to proselyte and teach, especially since we live pretty
far from the chapel and have driving time tacked on as well. So we were very
grateful for the chance to just work all day long! Even when none of your
investigators are progressing, there's still so much to do. So we had a busy,
meeting free week. It was great!
This past week was
pretty cold again. Definitely not as cold as in Utah, though! Burrr. It was in
the 40's here and I felt like I was in Washington or something. Misty rain,
really humid, Tons of wind, chilled to the bone. especially when you're riding
a bike in a skirt. But it's ok cause at least it's not snowing! :) The weird
part was that it went from 70's to 40's overnight. Today it will be in the 50's with WIND OUT OF THIS WORLD. Adjusting isn't a real thing.
This morning was
really funny because it was extremely windy and pretty cold. I felt like I was
in a vortex of humid, sandy, and cold air. Quite the combination. Especially
with hair like mine. (ps my hair is super long. mission miracles. :D
) Hermana Tait and I definitely laughed at ourselves a bit.
As far as the work
goes, our investigator from Honduras is out of town for the month (bummerrrr.)
and the rest of them are not progressing. We're really trying to light a fire
under them so they realize just how amazing this gospel is and start acting.
Also we're trying to find more investigators because we just know someone is
out there on the island, just so prepared for the gospel and longing for 2
sister missionaries to knock at their door and help them find what they've been
looking for. :)
This week we have a
general authority coming to talk to us! I'm excited. He's a member of the
seventy, I believe. It should be a great opportunity to learn and receive revelation
for my area. I can't wait!
This past week I
reread President Monson's talk from general conference about walking as the
savior walked. This really spoke to me this week. I want to invite all of you
to read it/watch it/ listen to it this week. You won't regret it :)
That's all for this
week! I love you all! hope you're all doing really well and are always striving
to walk as the Savior walked :)
Love,
Hermana Lance
PS tomorrow is
my 5-month mark. Pretty unbelievable, seeing as I've been here for about five
minutes.
Don't freeze to death!
Also
here's a picture of one of the greatest sunsets I've ever seen.
