Heavy buckets

Dear Everyone, 

We had an amazing week. So many prayers were answered. I am so happy. I think I am the happiest that I have ever been! I love this Gospel. I love who I have become. I love the converting power and enabling power of the Atonement. I know that even in little things, our Savior helps us to do more than we could ourselves. 

Yesterday we were walking to some members to go to an appointment and we saw an elderly lady who we usually help. So I grabbed her bucket and we went to get her water from a water pump. The bucket was so heavy, and she walks really slow and I'm trying to talk to her at the same time, and I was trying to be subtle and patient even though I could have walked a lot faster and been done carrying it. But as I was walking, and talking to her, and thinking; I realized that I couldn't have done that on my own. I know that Jesus Christ was helping me through the power of His Atonement. I testify of that. That through Him, in little things, we can be grateful for His help. I love being a missionary.

Love, 

Sister Santa

I wrote a lot of letters! Journaling at night before bed! I love the members! There are a lot of resorts in our area because our area includes the beach.

I found banana bread and it tastes just like home! We were walking and all of a sudden it started pouring. Wow, I could barely get my umbrella out. It's really fun but you have to protect your bag. The wind blows the water in every direction. We were wet for the next 3 hours and my skirt was dripping. I love it here. I have so much fun.
