Week 21

 This week was incredible! Sorry, don't have a lot of time jejejeje. 

This week went by so fast! Transfers are in a week and I'm praying I can go and see more of Oaxaca!

One day we were knocking doors in this community and I saw a door and for no reason looked at my comp and said, "I like this door, let's touch it." Turns out that person had been praying to God, asking if God loves her. 20 minutes later we knocked on her door because some elder "liked her door" . The Lord works though mysterious people I guess. 

This week we were supposed to have like 15 people at church and we ended up with 2... still super grateful that they came and are progressing. Also I learned that drinking and partying is a "tradition passed down from ancestors."  I love this place. 

I love it so much here but it is so hard. It's very true what they say, nothing worth it is easy. Me and my comp have a quote we love, "this is also my favorite sweater" (said in a deep Irish accent). We got it from a talk that basically says all problems are just problems to overcome. With this mindset I feel more power and even look forward to pushing through more challenges. I invite y'all to do the same! This life is very hard, but if we can keep our priorities centered on God, we will push through and survive. God has a plan for us. I can promise that if during the trial of your faith, you can stay focused on Christ and our eternal purpose, you will find peace, happiness, and success. 

Love yall!
