Feast or famine is just about the story of my LIFE. Haha especially this week. As a missionary it is either a feast or famine. There is no middle ground no matter how hard you try. Life as a missionary is just about as crazy as it gets. I love it. Though, I can miss home, I am very happy.
Guess where I am right now? In the lovely home of LOS ANDERSONS. (by the way I forgot my camera cord this weekend so SORRY. no pictures until next week). They are just the greatest and this has been the most fun weekend in the history of traveling to other islands as a missionary. Haha This is definitely the closest that I will ever get to a vacation as a missionary. Love it.
So let me start from the beginning. Sister Phillips and I had suuuuch an incredible week of work. Every day we have been out leaving early to appointments at 10:30am and not arriving home until 10:30pm. If you ask me... that is a packed day. We haven't had time for one single medio dia this week because we have just been out working, working, working. Every night we come home just exhausted and literally sleep like a rock until 7:30am the next morning. We are literally running from appointment to appointment. And not just running - sprinting. Ha it must be such a funny sight to see to young girls dressed in skirts with big smiles on our faces just sprinting to catch the gua gua (bus). Catching it literally by a second. We definitely get a wide variety of looks if you know what I mean.. It is so great. The work is really exploding here in Los Cristianos thanks to the Lord.
Yesterday I was practically on THE TITANIC. It was so fun and beautiful. So Saturday night after our work we took the bus up to Santa Cruz to stay over with the Andersons because we had to catch the boat over to Gran Canaria early Sunday Morning. AND guess what. The sisters here in Santa Cruz are currently staying with the Andersons until they find a piso soooo.. aka Hermanas Nydegger, Phillips, Money, Judy sleepover. It has been so so so so sooo fun.
Sunday morning we got up at the crack of dawn to catch the boat to Gran Canaria. I think it was the first time I have been on a boat as big and official as that. The view was SO gorgeous. The prettiest thing I have EVER seen. The sunrise was gorgeous. AND coming back at the end of the day we watched the sunset which was even more gorgeous to me. It was such a fun thing after such a fun and exciting day. I honestly have never had a better day! The Canary Islands are now officially a STAKE. 6 wards and 3 new branches. It is incredible.
Sometimes I honestly wonder how it is that I am here right now at this time serving a mission here on an island and how the Lord has directed my life in such a way that I can be here right now. It is so cool reflecting on my entire life journey.
Sorry the email is so short this week. I WISH I HAD MORE TIME! I really have so much to say!! Sooo much to say. Just a shortened time for emails. I will give you all more details next week I promise! AND pictures I promise.
I love you all so much! Keep up the good work and keep the high and positive perspective. Find the Joy in everything good or bad because it is THERE! I promise it is there... it is just up to you. Look to the Lord in every detail of your life and trust in Him with all.
MUCH LOVE!
