HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!

to all you mothers out there=)

Talking to my family was just about the best thing ever!=)

That was the last time I will talk to them until I am home... Lots of mixed feelings about that one.

Yesterday they did the cutest thing in Relief Society!

They gave all the moms... and future moms=) ROSES!

Then the primary came in to sing a song to all the moms.

One thing that never changes in the church... the primary.

Little kids always like to be in the stand waving their arm and 

yelling to their mom.

It makes me happy=)

They finished their song and all the little kids left running to their moms 

to give them a hug!

I sat watching for a little while and all of a sudden I felt tears fill up my eyes as I thought to myself...

"I just wanna hug MY mom."

I think everyone realized that I was crying and next thing I knew they were all giving me that sympathetic mother look!

With tears in their eyes they would look at me and nod, letting me know they understood... Then they would give me candy, tissues, their roses etc. Hahaha

It was nice to be in a place where I could feel so much love=)

This week has been an emotional rollercoaster!

We have a lot of new investigators and met a lot of really good people!

We are working a lot with a family right now that are helping us SO much... Member missionaries are the BEST!!!

I actually just got of the phone with the Hermano giving us another reference=)

YAYYY!!

That is the upside... the downside, dropping people.

We had one investigator that is SO great! H. Christensen and I 

started teaching her.

She always calls us "niñas" and is super sweet=)

We had a SERIOUS lesson with her this week... They are the DTR´s of the mission.

She ended us telling that she will NEVER go to church and that she will NEVER be baptized.

Those are pretty strong words to hear.

She told us that was how she felt and it wasn´t going to change and that if we still wanted to stop by we were always welcome but it was our decision.

It REALLY hurt to look at someone that I have felt so much love for and as much as I YO Hermana Robinson would LOVE to keep visiting her, 

I have to respect her agency. 

I shared my testimony and told her that we wouldn't be visiting her anymore.

She was really understanding.

We had another really interesting lesson this week.

I was able to use one of my gifts!=)

We stopped by a members home to visit them.

Turns out she has been going through a lot of hard times.

We asked how things have been going at her new job and you could instantly see the No in her Yes.

She and I began talking and I can´t even explain how or WHAT happened.

I think my companion was really confused.

She kept looking at the Hermana then back to me then back at her...

She turned to me and asked me in English,

"What the heck is going on?!"

I explained and we continued with the lesson... I honestly didn´t feel like we helped much.

But she told us that she had recieved her answer and was grateful for that.

We don´t visit her really often but it seems like every time we do it is because she has prayed that we would stop by.

I know God puts us exactly where he needs us when he needs us there=)

It´s something I have seen many times in my mission 

but I still love to see it happen!

Sending all my love!!
