Week 20: Not the Witnesses! November 16-22, 2021

 


Hey Everyone                                                                              November 22, 2021

 

This week was pretty great! My hand is still hurting pretty bad but it's getting better.

 

We had exchanges with our STLs on Wednesday to Thursday which meant I got to go back to my old apartment. Man, I don't miss that place haha. Our apartment now is so nice in comparison.

We also had interviews with President Rodarte this week. He is the coolest man. We talked for a few minutes about helping the area work with members. I then just told him I'm really scared to go to Guatemala and leave this mission. He told me how much he appreciated my service here and is sad to see me leave but that he knows my mission president and his wife are praying for me to make it there because they need me. It was so sweet and I bawled like a baby haha. I am so grateful I have gotten the chance to know the Rodartes. 

I love all the different people I get to meet out here in Vegas. We were walking down the road and a homeless man on a snazzy bike rides past and he yells "oh no! Not the witnesses!" And I just yelled back, "don't worry, we are the members of the church or Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," (which is really hard to do in one breath but so important ; )) and he went "ahh the Mormons. Pray for me!" And then he was gone. 

There are so many things that need to get done as a missionary. The work honestly never ends, in a good way. But sometimes it can feel overwhelming. I was feeling kind of down on myself because I felt like we just didn't have enough time for all we had to do and because one thing wasn't working out, I was failing. But I had these questions pop into my mind: am I trying my best? Am I giving this area, this work, my all?" And I felt the Spirit confirm to me that I am doing enough and that God is happy with my efforts. God doesn't expect us to be perfect now. He expects us to try and to do all we can. But Jesus Christ makes up for that difference. 

Love you all!

Con amor, 

Hermana Snow

Week 60: September 1-7, 2022 I know this church is Christ's Church

  Helloooo!                                                                                         September 7, 2022   This week was super eventful. The boys that were baptized last Wednesday were confirmed in church on Sunday. It was so sweet to see them in their white shirt and tie. One of them bore their testimony and at the end said so powerfully, "I know this church is Christ's church." It touched my heart so much to hear that.  We had a bad rainstorm on Monday. It rains every day, but Monday was the worst. We were trying to cross a stree...
