Mom of a Missionary.....E-mails from Mexico March 5, 2018

A normal week of normal normalities.
Hello, friends and family!

How are you all doing? It's Elder bowlby here.

This week has been very interesting. We've had a lot of things to do, and yet not a lot of time to do it. We've been here and there and everywhere. It's ben a week of work and introspection. We've been following the spirit a lot more as well. We've been directed many times to the houses of a select few who are curious and prepared for the gospel. We've also been in search of less active members who have strayed away... and we've been growing personally. 

I feel that we're really loved here in Mexico. The members are very supportive and willing to acompany us to our lessions, and sometimes when we pop in just to check on someone they let us in and invite us to eat a little. 
There's not too much to write, but I will write this: Through all of this service I am uncovering a truth about the mission, and it is that the mission is to help us to become someone better, who lives the Gospel at the maximum level possible, who is an adult and a prepared child of God. We've been learning to repent every day so that we can rely more on the spirit, and trying to keep in mind a vision of who God wants us to be at the end of it all. This is a Mission truth, you know. To come to a full knowledge of who you are, your divine potential, and how Jesus Christ lets you get there. Truly, we must have faith in our Lord to understand the why of it all.

Love you all, Miss you loads. Please keep reading your scriptures!
