December Already!!


Hi Everyone,
It's already December which is really weird. I don't know where the time's gone, it feels like every single transfer just goes faster and faster and I'm going to blink and my mission is going to be over. 

This past week has been a solid one. We decided as a district to pray together every night (pray together as in pray at the same time) asking for Heavenly Father to bless the people we are teaching and work miracles in their lives and it's been quite interesting. We have a few friends who have been progressign a lto lately and are anxiously waiting for the opportunity to descend into the waters of baptism. One of them is Ignacio. He's the spouse of a member who was inactive for a time and well, they need to get married so that he can get baptized, but he has divorced first. 

These past couple weeks we have working hard to work out everythign so that he can get divorced but about two weeks ago as we were finished up one of the last steps in the divorce process, there was a cluas in the papers that said he had to wait a year befoere gettign remarried and we thought nooooooooo! So, we started prayign ridiculously hard and fastign for himand the divorce. Our ward lawyer took a look at it and after a good bit of ahrd work and some loopholes and legal finisse, we recieved word today that the divorce is approved and they get married THIS WEEK!!! AHHHH! 

I am honestly grateful for the Lord, een when He asks us to kep our nose to the grindstone and keep workign at it when it doesn't seem like anythgin is goign your way because I KNOW He is aware of me and that He could make this easy for me and make this service somethign that never has its down dyas, but I knwo that I wouldn't learn in the same way that I am learnign now, and that he wants me to be better than who I was and who I am now and I can only do that by keeping true, staying firm, and relyign on Him.

I testify that He lives and that He loves me. he is aware of my every needs nad He knows how to comfort me when I need comfort and push me when I need a push in the right direction. I love Him and I loe serving Him and I can't believe He has blessed me to be able to see a year's worth of blessing in Mexico nad that I can continue ot see even more. 

I love you all,
Con mi amor eterno,
Hermana Rawlings

Burning Spiritually and Physically!

Didn't you just LOVE conference? I feel like I have gotten much more out of General Coonference here in my time as a missionary. It's literally such a highlight and a spiritual fest. I think my favorite talks were from Jeffrey R. Holland, Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Russel M. Nelson, and actually, I can't choose, just all of them. I love what Elder Uchtdorf shared about how to share the gospel, step by step. I also love what was taught about the cvonnection between love and ministering, and I absolutely loved the emphasis on repentace and the Atoning power of Jesus Christ.  Thanks to the goodness of the Bishop, we actually had the opportunity to watch in English usign the computer in the Bishop's office and it was so great to hear the voices of the Apostles and The prophet. It's honestly just so much better when you can actually hear their voice with the intonation and all of that. An boy, was that fun. We might have taken over the office for a short while...
