Last Zone Conference and Halloween🥲🎃

Hey!!

First off, we found a really cool couple last week and they're from Peru!! The wife only speaks Spanish so we told them about the Spanish ward but then on Sunday they showed up to our church! We grabbed all the members that spoke Spanish and Erwin and Pilar (the couple) were swarmed by members greeting them in Spanish haha. At the end they said they want to keep coming back because they felt so comfortable and welcomed🥰 plus they both want to stay because they want to improve on their English. It was so sweet to see all the members so excited to meet this family and be so welcoming!! I just love the members here and how involved they are!!

We got to watch a movie Halloween night as a mission over zoom and that was so much fun. Everyone should go watch "The Fighting Preacher" because it had me in tears. I had my last Zone Conference on Thursday and gave my departing testimony🥲 bittersweet. I'm SO excited to see my family and everyone but also sad because I love my mission. I'm also just really tired though. When I think I'm too tired though and ready to be done I think of this quote from Elder Erying:

"From the cross on Calvary, the Savior announced, “It is finished.” Then His spirit left His body, and His mortal remains were placed lovingly in a tomb. He taught us a lesson by what He did in three days in the spirit world, before His Resurrection, which I remember whenever I am tempted to feel that I have finished some hard task in His service and deserve a rest.

The Savior’s example gives me courage to press on. His labors in mortality were finished, but He entered the spirit world determined to continue His glorious work to save souls. He organized the work of the faithful spirits to rescue those who could still be made partakers of the mercy made possible by His atoning sacrifice"

This work is SO GOOD and it's the Lord's work. I'm grateful to be a part of it and that I get to witness how he touches everyone's lives everyday!! There is so much joy to be found in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ!!

Love and miss you all!!
