On the 4th of July we had a blast! We went to the stakes flag raising and then the parade! We were with the Spanish ward missionaries all the day so after the parade we split and started talking to everyone. It was awesome! We got a few referrals and gave out a lot of pass along cards! That night all of us went to a couple parks and started chalking the Plan of Salvation on the side walks. It was so fun and a lot of people stopped to look at it and ask questions. The only down side was the evil mutant mosquitoes. They are huge and they attack in swarms.
We did a lot of walking and driving this week. It has been really hard to find because of the heat. No one is outside(they are smart). We are really trying to work through the members and find service opportunities! Hopefully this week we will see miracles and find a family to teach!
This week one of the hermanas was having a hard time while we were on exchanges so we read Chapter 3 from The teachings of President Hinckley(if you haven't read it stop whatever you are doing and go read it!) I love President Hinckleys attitude towards life. I have tried my whole mission to follow his example and share that light and optimism. There was one paragraph that really stuck out to me. He said,
"There never was a greater time in the history of the world to live upon the earth than this. How grateful everyone of us ought to feel for being alive in this wonderful time with all the marvelous blessings we have."
I am so thankful I get to be apart of the work at this time! We are so blessed to have this gospel and a Heavenly Father who loves us so much!!!
I love you all!
Love,
