I can't believe that I have almost finished 11 months of my mission! Crazy how fast the time is flying by! And I hope I don't have transfers this week and have to leave Peñasco.....
This week was super awesome...haha, as always. We met lots of new people this week and had some really amazing experiences. Three times this week we knocked a door, and someone answered and told us that they had been praying and asking God for an answer when we showed up. As representatives of Jesus Christ we have the opportunity to testify that God exists, and that we felt that we had to knock their door,and that it was not coincidence that we showed up as an answer to their prayers.
This week it was my comp's turn to take a TRIP and see her next FALL.... she was a little bit dehydrated and she fainted when we were going down a sandy hill and she crashed and it was pretty gnarly. But she is doing better, and after all that happened, we had lots of people that helped us, and lots of blessings. One of the blessings was that 6 new people came to church this Sunday! Wahoo!
Always keeping it real here in Peñasco, fat and happy!!! I love you all. "Take luck, care for it... if you have any.." (Brian Regan)! :)
Oceans of love,
Hermana Barton

From Amy: I don't usually share my whole letter from Meredith with the group, but I wanted to this time because I think it adds more depth to the raw fish eating experiences AND puts anyone else at ease who might have been concerned that Hermana Meredith protect her noggin while biking! Enjoy this extra tidbit:
haha I'm glad you could laugh about my fish eating. But trust me you would be eating it too, because some of these families literally have nothing, and want to share everything with us, because they think of it like they are feeding Jesus Christ, and they know they will receive more blessings from it! It is literally so humbling to see these families and tanto faith that they have. The families that have less share more, than the families that have money. It is interesting, but these families know that everything they have is from God, so they need to share. One of the things I love about Mexico is that everyone believes in God. They might not go to church, or keep the commandments, but when people see us in the street they tell us, "May God bless you." Or if something happens they say, "thanks to God," because they know that it is God who has given us everything... or the Virgen... haha no jk!
YES, I bought a helmet!! A pink one because it only cost 50 pesos.
My comp is awesome! I love her! She has helped me so much, in more ways than I thought were possible! I am so thankful for her!
Te amo mucho! I am sending you some pics of my helmet, and the bikes of the 3 Nephites.. haha jk!
Mares de amor,
Hermana Pearl
They are horrible pics, but proof of my helmet. And that I'm alive!!
