Hola a todos!
The last few weeks I've been feeling less than motivated to write stories of my mission, because every day is basically full of miracles and after a while they all just run into each other. Great problem to have, right? Anyway, I'm going to try a little experiment, and start writing about moments of the mission instead, so that you can get a glimpse into the small moments that are talked about with less frecuency.
Missionary Moment #1: Biking. (backgroud information, we have a mission rule that we use our bikes 2x every week). On Thursday we decided to bike, and so we layered our sweaters and got on our bikes and headed out to work. To reach certain parts of our area we have to cross and bike on the side of a highway. It's very exciting. We reached the part where we had to cross, and an accident had just barely cleared away so there was a surge of traffic. But then the police man stopped traffic for us to cross. We bike and bike, and then we reach a really big hill. And you bike, until you can't bike any more. and then you walk. And then you bike again. But the best part is that you feel really happy and not discouraged or mad. Just happy that you get to teach people :)
Missionary Moment #2: Frozen Yogurt. Some days you need a pick me up, so you take a 15 minute break and go to the Fro Yo store and eat Taro Frozen Yogurt, and watch the stray dog outside trying to find its owner.
Missionary Moment #3: Baptism MIracles. Sometimes you try really hard to help people be baptized and nothing comes of it. And then sometimes you find people that other missionaries have tried to help for a year to be baptized, and then everything falls into place and they decide they want to get baptized. And it's incredible.
Okay, there are the moments for the week. I love you all! Keep happy and healthy :)
Love,
Hermana Reynolds
