February 23rd
Man it is soo weird to
think that I am 20! I'm not sure I know how to!
This week as been a
growing week. I have learned a lot and learned how I can better myself as a
servant of our Heavenly Father. I am soo grateful for inspired leaders! I have
amazing Stl's and ZL's and DL!
I am falling in love
with the mission. And honestly I don't want to come home,,,sorry!
The past few nights I
have had dreams where I am home from my mission and I just cry! It breaks my
heart to think about it. I feel like I have just given my heart to these people
and I feel the love that Christ feels for them and how could I possibly leave
them?
You know I have thought
about it, and I know that that is one of the big reasons why I served state
side! It is because Heavenly Father knew I was going to fall into too deep of
love with these people, that I had to be able to see them often!
The area is slowly
progressing, we are teaching a man named Ignacio and he is soooo sweet! He is
in his 70's and oh he's the best! He doesn't have the best hearing so you kinda
have to yell at him! But it makes for being bold even more intense! haha he has
a fear of water, so that is hard, but hopefully there will be a baptism soon so
he can see it!
Also Ben and Nelly....
so its sorta a part member family, they have a son together but they aren't
married and live together, both native! But Ben has some really hard trials and
drinks a lot! And with in the last little bit its been hard for him, we
have had some good lessons and its cool to see how the spirit can touch
people no matter what, but that it doesn't have as much of an effect on those
who aren't in tune with the spirit!
We have a family who is
worried to read the Book of Mormon because they love their bible and Catholic
faith!
Each day Heavenly Father
makes me more glad I was born in the gospel in a loving family! I love you
family and all you do thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you all,
Sister Markus
