11-3-14 Cold front in the 70's

Hello all!

Como estan?

Things are going great down here in Texas. This last week we had a bit of a cold front and lots of wind. Cold front meaning the low 70's. It was roughhh. Good thing it's back up to the 80 degrees so we don't completely freeze! That was a close one. (I hope you all appreciate my sarcasm and slight depression because I really did get cold. haha) The other night I definitely had some hot chocolate. Don't judge me.

This week was pretty normal. None of our investigators are really progressing, so that's a bummer, but we're seeing lots of daily miracles that are keeping us going. No one said this work would be easy (in fact everyone said the opposite), and that's ok with me! The slower, harder times make us strong and refine us. We're going to keep working hard and we know we'll have success. Patience is key :)

If you ever want an incredible example of fighting through pain to reach success, take a look at Genesis 32:24-28. This is when Jacob gets his new name of Israel. He wrestles with an angel and even though his hip gets dislocated, he fights all through the night and demands his blessing. SUCH A BOSS. "At the end of pain is success." -Eric Thompson, motivational speaker.

Sorry this is kind of short but I don't have a lot of time. Asi es la vida de los misioneros, verdad?

Love you all! Have a great week!
Hermana Lance

PPS Lisa is moving to a different part of Texas. so that's a bummmerrrr. I still love her though. Don't worry she'll be active forever. :)
