June 27, 2016: One year??!!!??

I can't believe that I have been in Mexico for a year now! The time is flying by, the only thing that tells me that I have been here for some time in Mexico is the panza... tummy.. that I've got going...haha jk. I have a food baby of one year of pure beans, rice, tortillas, and meat. But no complaints, I wouldn't change it for the world!

This week we had a really cool conference with the President of our Mission. We talked a lot about changes that we need to make here in the mission, and in our lives. One thing that he wanted to make clear, is that at the end of the mission we can testify: "I came to know my Savior in Sonora."

It is something so important for everyone, not only those in the mission, but EVERYONE, that we can come to know and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, so that someday after this life, when we face God, we can tell Him that: "in this life, I knew my Savior Jesus Christ."

This week I got pretty much fried.  It was like I was in Hawaii with my family, with awesome tattoos from Sonora... tan lines from my skirt and shirt from Sonora. My comp said I was like a camarón.. shrimp..because I was so red and fried.. haha got to love being a gringa!
