I feel like its weird getting close to finishing my mission. Not saying Im ready to finish my mission because Im not, at all haha. I love the mission and I love working here. We're working hard trying to find people that will accept us. Its kind of hard in a city full of Catholics because they almost always deny us.
I feel bad sometimes because I know that we offer what is really called the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We know what Gods plan is for us. I tell myself everyday, time to save lives. I think of us missionaries as the superheroes of our day. Many people tell us that were angels sent from God, many people think were of the Devil. Haha how wrong those people are. Angels surround us everywhere we go.
I've never had a doubt that the Lord is by my side at all times. He's my best friend and I love Him so much. One thing Ive learned here is that there are special people placed here that know when a servant of the Lord is in the room.
I met a down syndrome girl here that is about 10 years old. She's the cutest ever and I'm pretty sure I'm her best friend. Last night we were with her and her family and she was just so loving! haha she kept giving me stuff and touching me and it was just the biggest display of affection haha, she didn't go near my comp. What really touched me though was when we were playing she came up to me, grabbed my cheeks and kissed me on the forehead. I was stunned for a second hahaha but I just felt an overwhelming love radiating from this child.
Many don't know what sweet spirit these children really have. They are the closest people to
Christ that I know. I love them and cant get enough of these special spirits. Any child is acceptable. I love you guys! I KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST LIVES!!!!
