I want to tell everyone all that I have learned but I could never have enough time. I guess I feel like Nephi because He only wrote the things that were most important because it was so hard to engrave on the plates, so imagine I'm Nephi.
I have learned this week that faith is a deep belief that I'm being taken care of. The language is coming but I am frustrated and hard on myself because I'm not fluent yet. If you know me, you know that I'm an over achiever so I want to be fluent now. But I have learned that I have to be patient with everything and myself. I will learn here a little and there a little.
It always feels good when we are in the right place at the right time. I know we are being guided. My testimony is being strengthened and I know that I can become what Heavenly Father wants me to be if I turn my heart over to Him. That has been my focus the last few days. I can control that and ultimately I need to be converted to the Lord.
I love being a missionary. I love teaching even though it's hard because the greatest miracles that have come have come as were teaching and my language is amazing and we feel guided and people's hearts are softened. I love the food (mostly), it's kinda weird. I love serving. I love being busy and tired. I love that it's just me and the Lord because I hardly have time to think about anyone back home.
Love always,
Sister Santa
Sister Santa
Me and two sisters that are wonderful. Their family are converts and they help the most with missionary work. They always go with us and teach. The mom on the left does my laundry twice a week. She is so sweet. She cleaned my shoes when we were out contacting and I stepped in dog poop. She is 42 and the daughter is 17.
Our first baptism was this past Saturday! She is 18 years old and her husband is a member.
