Trust

(we're currently having a picture drought, so I'm getting a little creative)

¡Hola!

First off I just wanted to say thanks for always writing me every week. I love reading my emails every week. It makes me feel so much closer to home.

I can´t believe that it was the 10 year anniversary of 9-11 this week. How quickly time passes. There were quite a few people who asked me about it; what I thought about the anniversary of it etc. It is interesting to me that there really were quite a few people asking me about it. I am not sure if there was a lot of news coverage since we don´t have access to a television but I am thinking not really.

Ha ha so this past weekend was Grandparent´s Day huh? Wow the USA is starting to become like Argentina. I think they celebrated the Day of the Child like 3 different days this year. There is also the Day of the Friend etc... Ha ha it´s pretty funny. I am surprised that Hallmark hasn´t capitalized on this country yet. They would make a fortune with all the "holidays" here. :)

This past week was a fairly calm week. This coming week we will have a meeting with Elder Aidukaitis so everyone is talking about that. Remember that we are missionaries so any news is BIG news. :) The weather here is also starting to get hot. During the day I can just wear short-sleeves and be ok. And I also don´t have to wear nylons anymore!!!! I am SO excited. I am guessing that is probably more information than you all wanted to have...

This week I was reading in the Book of Mormon in Mosiah 29 and I loved on part specifically in verse 20.  It says "...thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of cmercy towards them that put their dtrust in him." I love that because the Lord is always there, ready and willing to "extend" His arms of "mercy towards them that put their trust in Him". I know that I can see the difference daily as I try to do it on my own and slip and fall 100 times before I am humbled enough to put my trust in the Lord and do things in His way. As we put our all of our trust in Him, He will comfort and consol us and lead us by the hand in the path that we need.

I love you all tons!

Think about you often, pray for you always, and love you forever!
