Dear Family,
After our phone call for Christmas, I was
feeling great. I felt like I could take on this mission like no big deal! But
then of course the next day the language was really discouraging again. But I
prayed a ton and the next day was much better. I was able to feel that my patience is
growing- which is a huge miracle.
Anyways, Dad thanks for your letter. I need to
remember to forget myself. Hahahaha it is so hard. When you said I’d work all day you
weren’t kidding. We just work from
morning to night... This is a small struggle. So I am trying to forget myself
and realize it is only for 18 months! Well 16 now:) hahaha
I love you all so much. Talking to you on
skype was the best thing ever.
Cool story!-- So my companion said in Mexico
they only have 1 kind of garment and it is the cotton kind. She asked if she
could buy a pair from me. I, being
selfish, told her no. I need mine
because I need them to last my whole mission right.... Well after noticing that
she needs garments way bad I decided I would give her my best pair for Christmas.
So I did. She was super happy and then later that night she skyped her family. She told her mom and her mom said she was
worried about her garment situation and was praying that her daughter would get
some garments. She (my companion) needed
garments way bad. So I was able to answer my companion’s mom’s prayers! How
cool is that? It is comforting that I am able to help make a small difference.
The other day I was feeling super bad about
the language and we were in a lesson and my companion said the Spirit told her
to ask me a question and share it with our investigator... I don’t know if my
story really helped my investigator. But just knowing that the Spirit told my
companion to have me say something meant a ton to me because it shows that God
knows I am here and wants to use me as a tool in His hands. I don’t know, I
just loved that.
Anyways, I love you all
so much and I am soooo grateful for our family. We are so blessed.
Love Hermana Bailey
My goal this week is to forget myself
and my wants!!! It’s my last week in 2014. I need to enjoy it:)
