The WEDDING!

Dear Family and Friends,

So this week the one thing that I have always dreamed to experience on my mission is a wedding and thanks to Kira we were able to make this a very special day for sister Ely and her husband.  Ah!! so it was a little bit of a crazy day but we were able to get sister looking so beautiful and brother looked so stunning in his suit and then we went to the church.  we took pictures and they all looked so beautiful+guapo.  Then as the wedding commenced they were so happy and she was just glowing. it was more amazing to watch the look on her husband face as he watched his wife and son enter the waters of baptism and become clean.  I really enjoyed the feeling of seeing this family come together and since then I have seen the wife and the husband come together and the light come into their life.  Ah so worth it.  after we went and ate at their house and just had a great time.

then yesterday we had a some problems with our BGD's.  Reldon had some problems with his past that we need to fix and it was heart breaking to see him get so depressed to hear that he might not be baptized this coming week but I have not lost hope.  I know that he is ready and I know that he has repented.  I really feel like this is a test for him to test his faith in this church because it will be the best gift when it is hard to get.  then we went to our other baptismal goal date martin and we caught him smoking just a little and the minute he saw us he knew that he had done wrong.  so that was two blows in one night and I was tired.  my heart hurt and I didn't know what to do with myself to help these people.  I love this gospel and I know that it is true and i want everyone to feel the love of our savior like I feel it and to feel the way my family does and that their family can be that way too.  

I watch a movie the other day about President Monsons life and I got this overwhelming feeling of my Grandma Williams in our apartment and at that time I was really struggling trying to find my purpose again on the mission. we have been having problems with the area and with other things going on that I have kind of gotten lost.  well the moment I finished the movie I felt my saviors love again telling me it was ok that I knew that this is the way to true eternal happiness and then I got this overwhelming desire to go out and tell the whole world about this wonderful message.  I got this overwhelming desire to just take the blows and go forth with a smile on my face knowing that the lord would help us.  even though we didn't get a lot of lessons or this or that I came home happy that night knowing I did my best and gave my whole soul to the lord.  he has shown me great things in my life and I have seen my spirit grow by studying his word and trying to become like him.  I love my spare time studies in the new testament and I see the lords side on all the situations that he encounters and it is interesting to in some way be in his shoes without doing it in actual life.  

Well that is all I got for this week I want to thank Kira again for sending me those cloths they have gone to good use and to my family and friends that support me through all of this.  I love you all and will talk to you next week.

Love,

Sister Snow
