Eighteen to Give: Catch up

Hi everyoneeeee!!!

SHOUT OUTTTTT!!! Yesterday was my sweet mother's birthday. I would like to share with you guys a story that really just explains everything about my mom. Within the first few weeks of being in Mexico I wanted to go home desperately. I tried to only tell a few people and not my parents because I didn't want to worry them. However, I finally told my mom what I was feeling and that I wanted to go home. My mom was very worried about my coming here to Mexico and I honestly expected her to tell me that it would be ok if I went home... But she didn't. My mom doesn't form part of any religious group but she has a very great understand of enduring to the end. I don't remember the exact words that she told me and I can't find them….but I remember clearly that she told me that I made the decision to come here and that I need to complete with the calling that I was given. From that day on the mission didn't get easier but it was better because I knew that my amazing mother was behind me on it. I am grateful that she told me that because I am now only 5 weeks from finishing it and I am 200% sure that I would have regretted it. I owe a huge thanks to my mom, Denna, for always supporting and helping me in all that I have done. I LOVE YOU!!!

This was the last district meeting with my last district and the
cutting of ties of the missionaries who went home last change.
I feel like I have said this a lot...but elders are SO ODDDDD.
In 5 weeeks I will be getting my tie cut :(

Anyway, this week was another wonderful weeek full of miracles and just happiness. It's stressful the last few weeks because you want to do a lot of things and have to think about a few things at home but I just love it. This has been the best ever. I don't plan to write much so that I can send you all a ton of pictures that will sum up the last few weeks! LOVE YOU ALLLLL!!!!
