It amazes me to think exactly 9 months ago, I said goodbye to my family and hopped on a plane to Spain for the next 18 months of my life! Looking back, I honestly had NO idea what I was doing hahaha. I thought I knew what a mission was but I really had no clue! You could say it was a leap of faith :) I´ve always wanted to serve a mission, from as long as I can remember. It has always been my dream and has impacted the choices I´ve made in my youth. I´ve always tried to live my life in according to the teachings of the Savior so that not only would I be worthy to serve a mission, but that I could bear firm testimony of the gospel and the happiness and feeling of purpose it has given me with others. But I´m WAY far from perfect (just ask my mom haha) and I haven´t always made the right choices and i have a lot of regrets BUT I´m grateful for what I´ve learned on my mission. i have a testimony firmer than ever of my Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. I know the he suffered and died for our sins, for our weaknesses, for our trials, for our sickness, for EVERY pain we could ever have. And He did it for EACH and EVERY one of us because He loves us. I know He did it for me, and because of this knowledge, I can repent for all those things in my past AND I can continually repent daily! I love my Savior! I just can´t get over how perfect and amazing God´s plan is us, including and centering around the Atonement. And I´m so grateful to be able to teach this message of hope for another 9 MONTHS! LETS DO THIS!
Anyway, here´s a quick sum up of this week:
It finally happened! After going 8 full weeks without neither of us getting sick (a record for me!), Hermana Vigo finally got the bug. She´s a trooper though! In fact, I think every companionship in our District has a sick companion. But we´re still working hard, I´m so proud of us :) But prayers are still needed!
We also had Zone Conference in Sevilla with three zones this week! It was so fun, it was the first time I actually feel like I KNOW people (I am in fact a seasoned missionary now ;) jk, I still feel like a complete newbie ahhh!) The Spirit was felt and my favorite part as always, is when we all gather in a big gigantic circle, put our hands on the shoulders of the person next to us and sing our mission hymn. Just watching 100 plus missionaries swaying back and forth singing their hearts out just makes me SO happy! I have an awesome video this time that i´m excited to send home!
All the Sister Missionaries in the San Fernando, Sevilla 1 and Sevilla 2 Zones
The rest of the week has been pretty quiet. It´s been another rough week but we find comfort in the knowledge that we´re doing the best we can. We´re imperfect but when we give God our weaknesses He makes us strong. It´s so hard, so so so hard, but i´m trying to live in accordance with His will!
Before ending, I´d just like to remember my dear, beautiful, angel-friend Heidi. It´s been two years this week from her passing but I still think about her often. And I find comfort in the knowledge that she is working right alongside me and all of her other friends that are serving missions, to bring others to Come unto Christ in the Spirit World. I love you Heidi!! You will never be forgotten!
I hope you all have a great week! I love you ALL!
HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!
Love,
Hermana Morrow
