Paige's Missionary Experience: Week 53

November 3, 2015

Expecting

Dear Everyone,

Another amazing week here in Artigas!! We had another week full of amazing experiences! This last P-day they called us last minute and sent me and Hermana Russell to Montevideo to get our cards, so now I`m Uruguayan! We also had divisions this week with the Sister Training leader, and that went really well. I got my transfer and....... I`m going to be a "mom"!! The mission president called us and told me I was going to be a trainer! So tonight I`m going to Montevideo again to pick her up. (Another 17 hour bus trip)

My favorite experience of the week was definitely Aly and Antonio. They are progressing so much! Aly has been reading the Book of Mormon and wants to be baptized, and Antonio has been really helping her out. This Sunday we were waiting in the door for our investigators to come to church and nobody was coming, we were about to give up and head in when we saw Aly and Antonio! And Aly decided to come in a skirt! Last week she told us that she didn`t own a single skirt because she didn`t like to wear them. On Sunday she said it was a little uncomfortable but that she would get used to it. They also invited us to lunch with them after church, they are so amazing and I love them so much!

Thank you so much for everything and all the letters I got from the Young Women from Mac 1st! I love the mission so much, it`s the best. I was meditating I Nephi 21:16-17 and I really love how reading these scriptures can help us understand a little more the love that Christ has for us. He can never forget us, he remembers us every time he looks at his hands and sees the marks there. He loves You!
