Andar como burro sin mecate.: Dog Eats Rat

Hola fam!

Holy calor. I´ve never sweat so much in my life! Which I´m sure you all wanted to know. ;) I hope you´re enjoying your pseudo-winter!! Enjoy it while you can!!!

The other night we woke up to the biggest lightning/rain/hail storm of my life. There was literally lightning every second, but you couldn´t hear the thunder because it sounded like our roof was being pelted with baseballs! I like the storms here. :)

So this week we have a new investigator named Nestor. He´s a reference of the familia Costa in our little branch and he is SO ready to receive the Gospel. We had a super good noche de hogar with him at the Costa´s on Saturday, and we didn´t even have to invite him to church - he told us he was coming! Missionary work is SO much more effective when we work with the members. Invite your friends to activities and to learn more!!

Alright, this week it was dog eats rat, haha. We were at Norma´s having a lesson and we look over and her dog is chewing on what is left of a rat! Hna Chesler starts screaming and puts her feet up on her chair. Norma is chasing the dog around trying to get the rat. And this time I´m the one laughing. Something funny with an animal is always bound to happen at Norma´s. :)

I´ve been thinking about HOPE lately and what that really means. Because of this Gospel, I have a PERFECT hope that I am going to live with my Heavenly Father, my Savior, and my family FOREVER. I have no doubt that if I continue to be faithful, that is going to happen. No matter what happens in my life, nothing can take that hope away, unless I choose to stop living the Gospel. That hope means EVERYTHING to me. I can´t imagine life without it. Life would have no purpose, no meaning. From that hope springs the most profound joy and peace, no matter what is happening. There are so many people living without that hope, but this Gospel is one of HOPE!! Share it! Learn more about it! The joy from doing so is indescribable.

¡¡¡OS AMO!!!
