Hola a todos!
We had zone conference which was great (and long). I learned a lot and it was such a blast to talk to my president and his wife!
We have met some new amigos which has been awesome! We met the sweetest mom and her son yesterday who fed us pizza and coke (I haven't had soda in FOREVER and for some reason that coke just hit the spot, madre mía!) Ya they were super sweet and seemed really interested in our message. We also met an older shorter man named napoleon who wanted to buy us food and take us to the beach... fun times! Oh we also met a guy that invited us to his rice farm! Yay, score!! This one guy we met with asks us if the jóvenes flirt with us a lot cause we are 2 young chicas from America. We told him that it's really only the old men who seem interested which really boosts my confidence!
It's still been really hot here but today there has been a nice breeze so I'm hoping that means that it will start finally cooling down.
This week franco set a date for his baptism! He is so awesome and I'm so excited for him and his family! Him and his wife recently got married and they have the cutest little son! I know his decision to take this next step in his conversion will truly bless him and his family.
Ok to explain the subject of this email... we go to this park almost every night to contact and meet new people and every once in a while this pig comes and runs around the park. This pig is HUGE and it's so funny to see. I just wonder where they keep it. It probably has it's own room in a piso jaja.
Ok so a quick spiritual thought for y'all... I was reading in Mosiah about repentance and he used the phrase "sore repentance". I really like this phrase cause when we exercise we are usually sore the next day. It can be uncomfortable but it means that our muscles are growing stronger and our body is changing for the better. When we repent, it may be hard and a little uncomfortable but this means that we are working to change into someone closer to what our Heavenly Father wants us to be. I love that because when we feel like things are too hard we need to remeber that it may hurt at first but we will always come out stronger. I know that when I repent I feel closer to christ because I am striving to let go of mistakes and learn and grow from them with christ's help. Repentance is super amazing and such an amazing gift we all have. I know our savior loves us and desires for us to come unto him because he is just waiting with open arms to welcome us and help us grow stronger.
I love you all! Thanks for all your support! Ustedes son los mejores!!
Adiós, nos vemos, venga,
Hermana Ross 💛💃🏼
