This week was epic. My new comp is named Hermana Luna. She is super awesome and a greenie, from Mexico City. (Here missionaries from Mexico City are like missionaries from Utah. The majority!) I feel like I belong to Peñasco now that I will be here 6 months of my mission! But I love the people here. There is TONS of work to do, and I feel blessed that Heavenly Fathers has confidence in me to do it! I think on Saturday I will get to go to the temple to a sealing with a family here. I got permission from Prez to go because usually if we are not in Hermosillo we can't go. We found tons of new people to teach. It is something super incredible to be able to knock on someone's door and tell them that you are a representative of Jesus Christ and you have a message to share with them! This is basically my life right now, and it makes for some amazing experiences! We found a family that was passing through some hard times, and the mom called for all her kids to come outside to pray and sing a hymn, and they were all crying because they felt the spirit and knew it wasn't a coincidence that we could pass by to visit them.
More blessing sparkles happened when some random gringos from Utah showed up on Sunday at church and wanted to give us some cash cash money money just because they felt inspired to do it! Keep the inspiration coming! No complaints about that one!
I am stoked that I get to stay in Peñasco for 3 more months! With the bike basket and all! Everyone makes fun of me for my ghetto basket, but then when they are all weighed down on their bike, they ask me if they can put stuff in my basket!
"Keep Santa Cruz REAL and weird" and always do what your heart tells you to do, and it always works out. Most of the time better than you thought it would!! (like the bike basket! Now I will be making bike baskets for the whole zone! With the zip ties I have left!).
Oceans of love to all,
Hermana Barton
