Buenos días mi familia!!
Como están? Ojalá que su semana estuvo muy bueno! This
week has completely flown by for me. I have not had a full day of work this
entire week! It has been one of the happiest weeks of my mission for several
reasons but now I will explain all that happened.
To start out, Wednesday we had our departing temple trip!
I can't believe that it already happened. Usually it is the last Wednesday of
the transfer but they had to do it before all of the other temple trips were
scheduled to happen. So, we went to the temple in the morning with President
and Sister Van Cott and it was amazing to be in the temple again. The spirit
was strong and it was really cool to be in the temple with a lot of other
missionaries. After the temple we took pictures and then went to the mission
office where we wrote letters to ourselves while eating Cafe Rio, needless to
say I was a very happy missionary, and then we went in and had a 4 hour
question and answer session to help us get ready for going home. It was really
helpful.
On Thursday we had our Zone Conference. It was honestly
the best conference that I have been to on my mission. We talked about how we
can become missionaries on fire. It has fundamentally changed the way that we
do missionary work and even though it is harder it has already made the work so
much better. We are talking to everyone and realizing that we can't keep
teaching the people who are not ready to listen to our message. We have seen
many results are our working on finding the elect and fearing no man. It was
also really nice because the other Hermanas in our Zone brought us chocolate
chip pancakes for breakfast because it was the last time that I would see them
and Hermana Buttars' birthday is in Wednesday. Overall it was an amazing day.
I think the highlight of my week though was Saturday. In
Saturday I got to go to the sealing of The Pineda Family. What a beautiful day
that was!! I was a little nervous because the member driving me to the temple
could only take me two hours before the session but I walked into the temple
and saw them sitting in the waiting room I could feel my heart fill with joy. I
cannot describe the happiness that I felt that night in the temple. As I was
getting ready for the session to start members from my first area started coming
in and it was a joyful reunion. The sealing was beautiful to watch Esmerelda
and Israel get sealed and then to watch as their daughter got sealed to them. I
will admit that I had tears in my eyes but I was so happy. There is something
so incredibly amazing about seeing a family go from not nothing anything about
the Gospel to watching them become an eternal family. Before I went into the
session President and Sister Van Cott came into the temple for a different
sealing and President Van Cott told me that I have the luckiest and best last
week that any missionary could have. I could not agree more. I have been
blessed in ways that I have never thought possible. I am eternally grateful for
that experience. They looked beautiful
I can't believe there is only one week left!! We are
going to be working very hard and we also get to go to the temple on Wednesday.
Also... Edith is getting baptized on Saturday! I will
send pictures.
I am excited to see you all soon but I am going to finish
strong! I love you all and know that this is the work of the Lord!
Love,
Hermana Morey
