Como estas todo? :) I miss you all! This week has been really good! I have seen lots of miracles! So, on Tuesday,
President Toone's secretary called us and President Toone asked us to
work at the Mesa Temple light show this year! Not very many people get
that opportunity in their missions so I feel very lucky!! We also
received a family referral which means we have 4 or more potential
baptisms and investigators!
Phoenix never ceases to
surprise me! I see more and more things every day that remind me of
Nacho Libre! Which, by the way, Libre is free, and his song he sings in
the movie means he is now free of being a monk. Fun fact for you all! On Friday
Sister Thompson and I had the opportunity to go to Mesa for a light
show meeting. There were sisters from 3 different missions. After seeing
the way they presented themselves and acted I'm SO GRATEFUL to be in
Tempe Mission. Sister Toone and President Toone keep this mission
running so smoothly and the missionaries are obedient which is key!
Friday
Night we attended Edgar Torres' funeral which was really sad. It's
crazy how other funerals are when they aren't in LDS environments.
People are a lot more sad, and they don't realize that they will see
their families again. After the funeral we had an amazing lesson with a
Converso Reciente, or Recent Convert named Hermana Araceli. We shared a
new Christmas video that the church is launching Black Friday
in Times Square, on YouTube, and other sites! It was super spiritual
and powerful. I encourage all of you to watch it as soon as it comes
out! It's called "He is the Gift."
So a funny story for you this week...On Saturday
we had dinner with a family outside of our area and when we got to
their house we parked our car and walked inside. 20 minutes later the
neighbor came over and started screaming cuss words in Spanish at us
because he didn't like where our car was parked. The family just shook
their heads and told us not to worry about it. I guess the guy thinks he
owns the sidewalk in front of his house. Well he threatened to hit our
car with his truck the next time our car was parked there. It was pretty
ridiculous!!
I just wanted to end this email and say THANK
YOU to everyone who has supported me while I've been on my mission! It
truly is a blessing to be able to bring others unto Christ, and help them
feel of the Savior's love. I'm so grateful for the place I get to serve
in, and the people I get to rub shoulders with. I have truly learned
the meaning of consecration, and how to give all that I have to help
others. I'm so grateful to all of those who have helped shape and mold
my life, especially my mom and dad and sisters. I'm so grateful for my
Grandma Pat who taught me how to love everyone, and be grateful in any
circumstance. Finally I'm grateful for the Savior and the Atonement that
gives us the opportunity to change every day and become better.
I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful THANKSGIVING! Remember
how blessed you are, and never forget Heavenly Father loves you!
Con mucho amor,
Hermana Greenhalgh
