My dear people!
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers- I really felt them this week. Honestly, I've felt so strengthened and so happy. Everything is ok!!
This week we organized ourselves better and didn't have any problems with Conce travel time. Hermana López is doing ok, and we have about two weeks of treatment left. Hope she keeps feeling better- right now she is about the same.
As for Mundial (World Cup), it has been kinda fun and very interesting. This week we just stayed inside during the game, and got to leave after. (See the pictures I included.) Today they played again at 12:00... right at our PDay lunch hour, when every eating place was either closed or blasting the soccer game. So we decided that if you can't beat them, you've just got to grab your completo and join them! hahaha Not really- we sat close together and tried not to watch or hear, so as not to be disobedient. I even took off my glasses so I wouldn't be able to see the screen, but even still we were kinda bummed when we lost 2-0. The good news, though, is that our investigators might actually go to church this week- if we had won this game, we would've played again on Sunday at 12, right during sacrament meeting. THAT would've been a big trial of faith. God really knows what He is doing.
I love being a missionary, love feeling God teach me and lead me along His eternal way. So many times, I look back at the simple lessons I learned in Primary, in the lyrics to the hymns, in our Family Home Evening lessons, in Seminary, and I am amazed to really feel and know the living truth that they hold. This really is real. I know it, feel it, can see it in everything we do. I think my life will be one long lesson from God that the things He´s taught me from the very beginning really are eternal truths, and that they are real for ME.
The key is learning how to apply it.
I love you all very much, and I pray for you.
Hermana Oldroyd
Right after the Spain game, we had to go to Centro to buy medicine for another Hermana. It was CRAZY. Honking horns, waving flags, dancing in the street, singing on the bus, anything you could imagine. These people are almost all our friends- we go to Cruz Verde quite frequently to buy medicine so we asked if we could take a picture with them.
Mundial T Shirts we bought
