Armadillos!!

Hello family!

 

I hope all is well at home and people are happy! A couple of really cool things happened this week. The first being, I saw my first armadillo!! It happened to be roadkill...but it was still cool! Then I saw another one just down the street! That one was dead too...and I saw a third dead. And we sure didn't even think of scraping them off the road to eat...sick. But I think someone has been killing them. Hna Greenwood and I made up a story about a mass murderer that hunts armadillos...our drive to Houston is about 30 minutes so we had time. :) One day I'll tell the story.

 

So I have some news!! We got transfer calls today and..........Hna. Greenwood and I are staying here together!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are both SO excited! This will be her last transfer...which she is really sad about. But we are really excited and grateful that we'll spend it with each other! She and I will be best friends forever! We already have many plans. :)

 

Well this week went pretty well! We got the last bit of Hurricane Jerry that hit Mexico, so that rain was fun to walk in. Mom!!! I used my crocks and my rain jacket!! :) Some of the days were kind of long. Ok they all were. But all of them were full of miracles! Like yesterday, we had 4 investigators come to church!!! So Ule Marrufo, I've talked about his mom Rose, Well he's 21 and is really turning his life around! He was previously into some pretty bad stuff. But has since gotten back into school and working lots. We've been calling him every day and reading from the Book of Mormon with him during his breaks at school. He lives about an hour away from here, but we still get to teach him because he comes down here for the weekends. He started his drive late yesterday though and missed sacrament meeting...but he still came for the last two hours and LOVED it!!!!! In sunday school we talked about eternal marriages and in Preisthood they talked about love in the home. He told us afterwards that he really wants to just find a good girl to marry so they can be as happy as the people he saw at church. HE IS AWESOME!!!! And he even asked a couple of the men he met in priesthood to give him a blessing. WOW WOW WOW!!!!! He has a date for October 5th, conference weekend. But one session of conference equals one church attendance, so he'll be baptized in the middle of the saturday sessions!! He is really excited and super great. It's exciting to watch his heart and desires change. It's amazing what the Gospel and Atonement of Christ can do for people!

 

I have such a testimony of the Gospel of Christ. By living it, we receive the greatest joy we can in this life and the next. I know that by accepting Christ in our lives and letting go of pride, we are able to access the greatest gifts Heavenly Father has instore for us. I love y'all and I'm so grateful for my sweet family and friends. I pray often for everyone. Please be safe and make good choices! Hope I hear from everyone soon!

 

All my love,
