This week seemed like the week of mini natural disasters!
The rain here has been CRAZY and sometimes we have to walk mid-calf
through the streets to get to our next appointments. I have never seen
it rain so hard in my life, and even though I love rain, I was very
happy to hear that the rainy season usually ends in October. There was
also an earthquake on Friday, but all is fine. I remember how my parents
taught me to run to a door frame, away from things that would fall. But
the people here run out of their houses and huddle together in a family
hug. It wasn't a very bad earthquake but with the sirens and dogs and
people in the streets, it was a little hard for my companion because it
reminded her of the earthquakes in Honduras.
This last week has been a little hard but when we had our
district meeting this morning, one of the missionaries said the prayer
and said something that stuck out to me. She said, "Thank you for all of
our blessings and challenges." It was a very good reminder how every
challenge is to strengthen us and to prepare us for what is to come.
This mission has probably attacked every single weakness I have but I am
so grateful for all the blessings I have received, and the lessons I
have learned through these dificult times. And at the end of every week,
I am so grateful that I have another week to be here. Love you all!
