Hey everyone! Wow it was such an awesome week and it went by way to fast. We spent a lot of time visiting and trying to find new people to teach and we saw a lot of miracles! It was really awesome!
Reply: Wow good to hear that it was a busy week for you guys! I can't believe that you missed 2 days for heat I never thought that would ever happen!! Maybe it won't be such a difference from here in Mexico and at home with the heat. Super glad to hear that everything went well with Alex, Jax, and Skylar and that it was a fun time with the family! Also that is super good to hear that Stake conference went well and you had a lot of takeways. I always love hearing from our leaders and that is why I am really excited for general conference too! So it makes me happy you were able to hear from them and have a good experience and how they talked about overcoming trials and man I am super sorry to hear about Jason and Shelley and their family I am sure praying for him and hoping this new medicine works out and that they can get home and feeling good but there is a really good talk called "God is among us" i think by Elder Uchtdorf and it talks about how when we go through trials or hard things the Lord always sends us angels and these angels are just normal people but I was thinking in all the hard times of my mission and the Lord always sent me someone that gave me hope and peace so I know the Lord will bless them and all of us with these angels to help us get through all the trials we face.
As far as packing and all that I have a good plan and I will leave behind a lot of clothes because a package won't work but it should be all good. Also just a fyi this Friday I will share my testimony in our mission devotional and my family can watch so I will send you the zoom link and explain more when we talk today but just to let you know.
My Week: Well here we are and I can't believe this will be the last email I write as a missionary but I do it with a lot of love and joy because honestly I was thinking about the last 2 years and honestly it has been the best experience of my whole life and I am forever grateful for Heavenly Father and him helping me grow and have such a wonderful experience but I know it is just the beginning but I love my Savior Jesus Christ and have never felt more closer to him in my life.
So this week was super good like I said we trained Elder Pimentel in the office like normal and it was super good and we have so much fun in our trio! We had a couple of good good lessons with Ana and her mom Lorena and Ana has her baptism this weekend so lots of prayers for her but we had a lesson with the whole family Saturday and it was super awesome to talk with all of them and feel the spirit and just testifying of the greatest message on the earth!
Also on Wednesday we were working but in the night we went as a district to bishop's house and they gave us Pozole which was so good but super fun too! I sure do love all the members and missionaries here but it was really fun! Also we had the opportunity this week to have a lot of time in our area which was new but we found a few new friends and had 8 people at church so it was so cool to see the hand of the Lord in our lives and helping Elder Villanueva and I push forward until the end.
In my studies this week has to do with what you shared mom about President Nelson's quote because I am studying Jesus christ in the Topical guide and all the scriptures in the Book of Mormon and it blows me away to see and read how often the prophets testify of Christ and His doctrine and I was thinking about how many lives have been changed when they really understand the gospel and feel Jesus Christ in our lives.
I love you all and thanks for all the support you have all given me on my mission. It might be the hardest thing to say goodbye but how awesome is it to know that we have the hope/knowledge to see the people here again. I love my Savior, I know he is real, I know that my life as a missionary will continue and will help me be a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ all my life. I love you all so much and see you next week!
Love Elder Reiley
