You know what amazes me here on the mission?! I have
learned so much though experiences here. The other day we were walking
down the road and some guy drove real close with his motorcycle and smacked me
on the neck! I shook it off and kept walking... as I was walking, rubbing
my red hot neck, I thought about some of the things I have gone though on my
mission. I have been spit on... I have been ridiculed, I have been hit
with stones and garbage, I’ve had harsh words thrown at me left and right all
day, I’ve had people blindly reject me as they see us at the door, I’ve had a
lot of things happen to me on the mission, and I’ve turned the other
cheek. Some say I’m too nice, some say I’m weak, some say I should get
even and retaliate. People say I’m a lot of things... But in the end I still
hold true and remember my sacred calling. I represent the Christ and do
everything He says. Why retaliate or lose my temper when He suffered MORE
THAN I?!?

Next time I talk to you, it’ll be face to face. :)
Sandra Ponte! :) With her sisters. One, baptized a month ago,
the other is getting married so she can ge baptized! :) HEE-HAW!!!
This is our zone meeting. Great presentation :)
Yoli, she is getting baptized on the 15th. She is SO AWESOME!!!!! She is the
one that Dad was talking about. haha. Funny that she is also my LAST baptism!
She is so prepared! She has had contact with other missionaries, but never had
any luck. We showed up and contacted her house and she accepted everything from
the beginning! We talked about baptism and she only had a few problems, such as
her family not supporting her but she took care of those problems and is going
STRONG NOW!!!! :)
