Guess what? Highlight of this week is fasting. What? I know
you never thought I´d say this but I have grown to LOVE fasting. Holy smokes,
it is literally one of the coolest things in the world. No longer is it seen as
a sad moment where we stop eating for 24 hours but as a spiritual strengthening
exercise that has benefits beyond the 24 hour period. Fasting is amazing. I had
the opportunity to fast this week and I can honestly say that I enjoyed every
moment of it. I have been able to feel the focus and power that comes from
fasting and the enlightenment that comes from it as well. Studying the
scriptures during a fast or giving service are probably some of the best things
you can do to make you fast meaningful. The hunger pains completely disappear
when you are focused on learning or on helping other people. It also heals the
spiritual holes that we sometimes feel. Prayer and fasting are amazing. Just
trust me on this one. ;)
Something else awesome that will happen this week is that
Nicolas will be getting baptized! Yay again! He is a sweet little 9 year old
whose mother is recently coming back to church and its super fun to see him,
his sister Miranda and their mom all grow close together because they all want
to help him get baptized. Nicolas is probably the sweetest little boy with the
biggest heart in the whole world. I am so happy to see his family grow with
him. The Gospel truly brings us all happiness!!!
Just to let you all know again, I love Mexico and I love
having this opportunity to serve the Lord. I get to learn new things from Him
every single day and it´s such a blessing in my life. I know the world keeps
turning while I´m out here but for me it feels like time has stopped moving.
This week I´ll have 8 months in the mission and I have no idea where the days
have gone. Time flies when you are having fun I guess. The Gospel is true and
if we live by it I know we can truly be happy for eternity.
Love you all!
