2000 steps.

Dear Family,

This week has been a beautiful week.

A lot of rain this week. The thing about rain storms here in Queretaro is that they aren't sprinklers or a nice mist but they are hot, humid, and giant drops of water.

This week we were working with Hermana Muñiz (whose grandchildren live in Pleasant Grove by the way) who is an amazing missionary. Whenever she takes a bus somewhere, she always takes Liahona magazines with here to give to the people sitting next to her or whoever. Inspiring.

Anywho, it begins to rain and we are working with Hna Muñiz. She gets a little nervous because of the rain, we feel bad for dragging her into a future bathing, but instead of finding a dry place to wait for the rain to stop, she begins to run. My companion and I looked at each other amazed at how fast she was running, especially for her age. We were also amazed at how she out ran us to... um ok I will blame it on my heavy bag... :) My companion and I laughed about it for a good while afterwards.

This week we have been teaching Patricia whose boyfriend is member. She is the most amazing person ever! She accepts everything we teach her and is always excited for our visits. When my companion was inviting her to be baptized she accepted before Hna Morales could finish the question. Our goal with her is that she can get married ASAP and then she can be baptized.

On the fourth my companion and I dressed very american-spirited. My companion was a little bummed not to be home in the states for the fourth but we did our best to celebrate it here in Mexico :)

My companion and I spoke to the ward on Sunday about missionary work and ward leaders shared some thoughts as well. The spirit was so strong and we saw the change in the excitement of some of the members of our ward! I really love being a missionary and working in God's work. It is rather beautiful.

Thought:

When Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, he expirimented more than 2000 times before he succeeded. A young reporter asked him how he felt to make so many mistakes. Edison responded, "I failed not even once. I invented the lightbulb. It was simply a proccess of 2000 steps."

Nos vemos,

Hermana Beardall
