A short little email for you all this week :)
We´ve been super busy all week and have been enjoying the work! This is a really fun time of year to be a missionary. The zone conference ended up being this week, and it was awesome! Presidente Montoya talked a little at the beginning (about some things that REALLY needed to be addressed in the mission) and then we had a bunch of different acts from the different zones which was cool! For one of the 2 acts that my zone did, I sang and an Elder from my ward (Elder Stevens) (but not the Elder Stevens that is Josh Cahoon´s cousin that baptized my convert last week, this is a different Elder Stevens) ¨What Child is This¨ and he played guitar. I thought it turned out alright, and we did it again for sacrament meeting on Sunday.
The gringas in her zone. They traded clothes for the day at zone conference
Talking with people this week has been kinda funny because everyone keeps telling us to come back next year haha! I´m not sure exactly what we´re going to be doing this week, but I guess we´ll find somewhere to teach/contact. The important part is about bring the joy of the gospel to people.
Today has been fun because it was the birthday of my pensionista, so we made cinnamon rolls at her house while it RAINED super hard. I also have been wearing my Christmas Santa hat all day, so I think that´s made people happy too. :) I´ll probably wear it tomorrow too haha. I love this time of year. I´m so grateful to not only have the opportunity to celebrate Christmas, but to literally preach about how awesome this time of year is! It´s been fun today to walk through the streets and say ¡Feliz Navidad! to everyone and see the smiles on their faces.
I know Christ came to this earth with a purpose: to save all of us. Only in and through Him can we return to the presence of our Heavenly Father, and I´m so grateful for His sacrifice! I love that in this time of year we can celebrate the very beginning of His ministry. I think his birth was the first of the many miracles that He did. I know He loves us.
Feliz Navidad, prospero año y felicidad ;)
¡Les amo muchísimo!
Hermana Rowe
(We got to google chat (with video) for 2 hrs on Christmas and it was divine! It was so hard to say goodbye. She bore her testimony before we hung up that was powerful and faithful and sweet. She doesn't have a lot of member support in her ward but she is enjoying the area and learning a lot. It sounds like she is going to ask her mission president to come home a little early so she can get back to school in Sept. BYU starts Sept 4th and she is slated to come home on the 10th I believe. Only a little more than 4 months until we get to talk on Mother's Day :) )
Her guitar that she bought.
