Here Comes the Son

Helllllooooooo everyone :)

It's has been SUCH a great week. I've finally resurfaced and am breathing fresh air again haha. And learned a TON. I've realized yet again that the only one I can truly trust is Christ. He is stable. Unchanging. Constant. Perfect. And the only one whose footprints we can follow without getting dizzy or confused. I keep learning that no matter how well-meaning people can be or how hard we try, we just fail haha. We truly do need Jesus Christ because he is the center of our lives, whether we realize it or not. He is the center of the universe and all the life in it. I learned a little bit more about that when I was reading about Astronomy in the guide. Did you know theres a whole section on astronomy in the topical guide?? Yeah. It's awesome. 

But yeah! So realizing this again made for a good stream of self progression, and companionship progression, which was reflected in the progress of our sector. So weird how that works. Carlos, Paola's father in law, finally came to church for the first time and I got to sit by him. It was so much fun helping him through the hymns, explaining the sustainings, etc. We even got to take the gluten free sacrament together. It was a really great experience and he seemed happy and nervous all at the same time. 

Emilio also came to church and we had a really great lesson with him last week. It was the first lesson I've ever given as a missionary in ENGLISH. It was soooo cool. He lived in the states for a while and actually requested that we do it in English so that's why we did it. But it was so refreshing to hear my testimony in my native tongue haha. It was somehow more personal. I could really just reach inside and express more acturately what was going on in my heart. And Hna. Andersen did the same. We made a really special connection with him that night and were happy to hear of his intentions to join the church. Now we're just hoping to be able to explain to him that being baptized is much more than that. 

Love you all soooooo so much. Hope you have the best week ever and that you can remember where the center of the universe is and keep your eye fixed on Him and that way feel more balanced. 

All my love,
