A Sista Serving: Rivadavia Week 10: Como le va Familia?

Hello There Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great week and everything is going good! This week was a little slow not a lot going on. We worked as much as we could and we just keep pushing :)

First off I got my first letters after being out for almost 3 months and it was better than Christmas! I was just crying and it was the best day ever. It's amazing what a piece of paper can do in the Mission.

My girl Dom decided to serve a Mission and I'm so stoked for her! Hearing of others desire to serve is so amazing and it strengthens us Missionaries.

This week I got a PB and J and it was the best day of my life!! Yay for AMERICAN food.

We also have Elder D. Todd Christofferson coming on November 8th and that's super awesome! There are mysteries of God and also Mission mysteries........ So I was thinking how is it possible that we walk ALL day long yet we still get fat? It doesn't make sense. My belief is that it's just evidence of how much the poeple of Argentina love me. My little belly just shows how amazing the people are and their love for the Gospel :)

This week was another hard week... I feel like I'm always saying that! I'm sorry I'm not a baby I promise! I was reading some talks trying to strengthen my testimony and looking for some anwsers and I was reading a talk from Jeffery R. Holland. I love his words! And I wanted to share something I learned...

We all come down here to this earth to learn, and to have experiences and most of all to become like Christ. We go through hard times, and have bad days. We also suffer. It's not easy sometimes. But we are here to learn and grow and become more like Him. Sometimes it is nessacary for us to go through a SMALL portion of what He went through to understand just how much He loves us and how much He really understand us. We all might have to suffer for a minute or two just like Christ suffered in Gethsemane. When we suffer is when we are most Christlike or closest to Christ. I want to know and I always ask "Why is it so hard?" It wasn't ever easy for Jesus so the same is for us. Hard times are nessacary. And that's something we have to expect. But Christ understands us and will always be there with us. He has walked with me and some times even held my hand throughout my Mission.

I love my Mission as hard as it is. It has been one big adventure but it's the time when I have grown the most! Thank you all for your support. I love you all and miss you! My family is so amazing. Mom youre a BA . Mountain biking with mountain lions and dad and Rhett shooting deer and Addee just killing it in school. Love you all!!
