Happy Mother's Day!...yesterday. I hope all you mothers back home had a great and special day :). I know that it was for me. Yesterday I got to skype with the family which was fantastic! I was so excited all day, ha-ha. Luckily I was able to focus at least during church and everything still :). With permission from the mission presidente, we coordinated with a member to go to their house to eat lunch after church and then they let us use their computers to skype with the family. It was definitely the highlight of the day to be able to see the family again and to talk to them.:) Even though the internet would act up a bit and drop the call, it was still the best part of the day :)
The rest of the week was great as always. We've been blessed to know so many great people and to help them come to the restored gospel. But even though we've been truly blessed and the Lord is helping us, that doesn't mean it's all easy and simple, ha-ha. There are times where we still have to work pretty hard to see the success. Sometimes during the day our plans fall through and we're left with some "free time" and we have to see what the Lord wants us to do. Sometimes we end up walking a bit and talking to a lot of people on the street. Sometimes we pass by a lot of our investigators and they aren't home. But the most incredible thing about this work is that every time we truly let the Lord guide us in His work, we are always led to the exact person or place that we're needed at. Without fail. Sometimes we just need to be more open and receptive to the promptings of the Spirit so that we can actually be guided and helped. The Spirit is a lot more willing to help us than we are willing to be helped.
On a more "temporal" note, things have been great. The weather has really turned out nice :) Sunny, a nice breeze, and just perfect! Obviously it gets pretty warm outside and when we have to run from one place to another (and I mean literally run) we end up sweating in our shirts and ties, ha-ha. But it all adds to the memories and the experience. :)
Today is our "spring cleaning" day which is always great, ha-ha. We took a bit more time this morning before and after our studies to clean and our piso is looking better. It's never been dirty to be honest but a deep clean every now and then doesn't hurt. So it's looking even better now. We threw out a lot of old things that previous missionaries have left behind and it just looks neater inside.
This week is looking to be a good one. We have lots of work to do, lots of people to visit, and just hope the weather cooperates, ha-ha.
Love you all a lot and miss you all! Talk to you again soon!
