Dear Friends and Fmaily,
I love you so much! Thanks for all of your love and support!
I have left myself 0 time to type, as usual, and I hope that I can put something here worth reading.
I really want to become a good gospel teacher. Like, phenomenal. I think that my mission has been a good start, but something that I am looking forward to studying more in depth very soon is the pattern of teaching of the Master Teacher, Jesus Christ. He was bold, kind, and clever. He asked questions and perceived needs. He never passed up an opportunity to teach, and He taught in a way that all who hoped He was the Son of God could understand what they needed to progress. May each of us model our lives and teaching after His perfect example.
Stories!!
Mario continues to refuse to be baptized, but he loves church, and he is reading the Book of Mormon! He missed his appointment Saturday night because his family wasn't ready on time, but the next morning when they wanted to skip church, HE wouldn't let THEM! Go Mario!!
We met Maria and Raul and then accidentally met Mirna looking for them (I lost the address). But Raul called us every day for 3 days to tell us he was coming to church, and lo and behold on Sunday, there they were!! He said something to the effect of, "Look at what we've been missing out on." Love it!
Jason is a 17 year old who we knocked on his door last week and he literally asked where we were going after this life and when we answered with the Book of Mormon, he said he had a whole new world of questions open up to him! Yay!!
Love you all, have a great week!!

The background of the sign has a serious message of Christ's love while the Post-it note collection is from the family. This note happens to be a poem from a dog, "roses are gray, violets are gray, everything is gray, give me a treat." and Carmen recited it to a dog she saw later while knocking doors which caused her companion to think she was depressed. That's just our family sense of humor!
