3/21/16--Bitter Sweet Week

Well, I will start with the bitter news. Our entire zone, other than us, left this week. And, we won't be getting any new American Missionaries here until after our group leaves. It has been so quiet and lonely around this place. It is really sad. Also, there is no one in our building. So, when we go to do stuff, it is like with no one. At least this week we are combining with another zone for sacrament because we are going to get a special broadcast from Provo. I am guessing it is for Easter. I hope an apostle will talk to us. Then, next week is General Conference, so no church. SO at least we don't have to do church alone.

Now for the sweet news!!!! AN APOSTLE CAME!!!!! Elder Quentin L. Cook and his wife came and talked to us!! I can't say I have ever sat so close to an apostle before. Plus, my district and I sang in the choir for him. We sang the EFY medley for him in Spanish. It was super cool. Then he wanted to shake all of our hands. I shook the hand of an apostle!! And, that hand has touched the hand of the prophet!! We all felt like fan girls after that. We were all like "we aren't washing our hand ever again". Not true. We had to wash them later but it was still the coolest feeling in the world. I know he is called of God and so am I. I was called here to do a work and wonder. I so grateful for the chance to serve the Lord.

Here are some pictures of my zone and district.

I love each and every one of you!! Have a great week!!
