This week you will celebrate your half way point. I am so very proud of you! What is the tradition? Burn a shirt, cut a tie? I hear in some missions the Elders burn a skirt at the 18 month marking they are no longer sisters. Silly boys! Please give a hug and kiss to beautiful Orfelina and her good-looking sweetheart too. Are you still hanging out with Luis? I hope he is well.
You know I haven't sent you anything for almost a year because of the expensive tariff, but there must be a way to avoid that. What if it was smaller or sent directly to you or is it better to send to the mission home? I don't want to get you in trouble, but I do want to send something. Are letters okay?
Dad and I saw a movie called Sully this week. It is based on a true story of a pilot who had to land his plane with 155 passengers in it on the Hudson River in New York in Jan of 2009. Anyway in the film he says "I've flown thousands of people in countless planes landing them safely in destinations all over the world for over 40 years, but in the end I will be judged on 208 seconds." When I heard that, I was so grateful for the atonement and plan of salvation. I am so glad we are not judged on our scariest 208 seconds.
Every single passenger survived because of his brilliant skills and the quick first respond teams on scene. Each of us can survive the turmoil of mortality because of the brilliant plan our Father in Heaven created for us.
I am looking forward to General Conference this week and can't wait to hear which talk was your favorite. I love you with all my heart!
Love,
Mom
Dear Momma
I hope that you had a wonderful week, I had a pretty good one, we went to León for a Zone Conference, President Pack taught us how to better use the Book of Mormon when answering questions of the soul, so this week we have been making questions and answering them. As members and missionaries, we receive these questions of the soul every day from our friends and family and it is our job to help them answer the questions that I have. As we start to teach using the Book of Mormon our friends and family will start to notice the truth of its teachings. We need to be studying, pondering and praying so that we can be ready to be an instrument in the Lord's hands. I love being here in Gijon. From what I've been seeing up here in the north is that everyone is struggling but for some reason the lord is really blessing us. Which is fine, I just want everyone to be doing as good or better then we are. Maybe we just need to sacrifice a little bit more and than the lord will bless us because of our faith. I hope that y'all are doing good and that the ward is too. Send them some besos and un abrazo. I love y'all. Moroni
Don't worry about the packages a letter would do.
