This week went by freaky fast. And I can't remember a ton that happened so let me just give some highlights.
-On Thursday I reached 9 months in my mission! I'm halfway done! Part of me feels like I've been out here for an eternity and I have a whole other eternity to go, but the other half of me feels like I got here like 5 weeks ago and I'll be home when I open my eyes tomorrow. I've officially reached the top of the "mission mountain" as my president says, and now I will begin falling down the mountain at a scary speed. Ojala.
-On Friday we had our last zone conference with President before he goes home. He leaves in about 2-3 weeks. I think President has had his "last zone conference" like 6 times, but this was officially it! And it was 7 hours long. It went by so fast though. It was so good and I just love my president and the assistants so much. They are so very in tune with the Spirit and every conference is just so powerful. I can't believe he´s going home! The new President could change everything...
-And the most important thing, we found someone! Her name is Sofia, and shes 16. Her friend brought her to church, and she accepted a baptisimal date. She´s set to be baptized this coming Sunday! She is so awesome. She read and prayed the first night and sent us a message saying she received an answer, and then yesterday when we were meeting with her she told us she had a dream where there were a lot of different paths and all of them seemed wrong and she didn't know which one to take. Then Christ appeared and led her down one and at the end, she arrived at the church. (I dont know what it is about Argentines but they all have dreams like this). She's just super cute and fun and I'm super happy.
This week my companion shared something with me that really stuck out. She read a scripture that says that if we truley repent, we´ll be shown the mysteries of God. I've read the scripture before and when I think of mysteries I think of heaven and all the secret stuff that I don't know yet. But my comp said she sees it as the mysteries of the Book of Mormon and prayer and those types of things. At first I didn't really get it. And then I thought about it and thought that through prayer and the Book of Mormon we can receive revelation, But we only can receive this revelation if we're worthy of it, and we can only be worthy through repentance. I don't know, I just thought it was cool.
Also, this Sunday is Fathers Day! (right? At least it is here..) So just giving a shout out to the best dad out there, mine. For supporting me in literally everything and knowing exactly what to say in every moment. For always making fun of me and therefore making me tough, and for being the best example. And shout out to my mom as well who made a good decision in marrying my dad, and to them both, who recently had their anniversary number 24! For being the best examples and in showing my how a good marraige should be. I love you!
Happy Fathers Day!
Love,
Hermana Prestwich
