July 9, 2016 - La Lima Week 8

Hey!!

The past couple of weeks have been super busy, but also some of the best weeks of my mission. President and Sister Carlisle are here!! We went to pick them up from the airport with President Klein and they are so excited to be here!! 

The first few days here we took them throughout the entire mission so they could meet all of the missionaries and tell them all a little about themselves. They are both starting to get the hang of things "poco a poco". 

Last Sunday we went to church in a small branch called "Coyoles" that has about 50 people in their meetings each Sunday. President Carlisle shared his testimony in the and there was an amazing spirit in the meeting as he expressed his love for the people in that little branch in Coyoles. It was a very humbling experience for all of us. 

It has been tough being out of the area so much the last few weeks, but this week we were able to get back to work and we found some awesome new people to teach! We are way pumped for that. 

Here is a quote I think is super awesome. 

“You can never get enough of what you don't need, because what you don't need won't satisfy you.”  

Its so true! I have some people on my mission that really are the happiest people ever. Even though they don't have much and sometimes wonder if they will have enough money to buy their next meal, they are happy. Material things don't make us happy. One of the many things I have learned on my mission.

Love you guys!!
