So sorry for the delay... I had a crazy week, but I am posting both Lexi's emails from this week and last week today! Thanks for your patience, Lex's fan club! :-)
Hello ladies and gents,
Well! This week I learned that Hermana Moody and I have got a whole lot of potential. Or, at least, that's what we concluded after several days of being shown every weakness a person could possibly possess within ourselves.
Man, we had some tough moments. People and their agency, throwing off our groove.
But the really amazing thing is that, as we had our lessons fall through and our investigators fail to keep commitments and our pensionista feed us obscene amounts of comida, Heavenly Father in His mercy allowed us to see the areas where we can improve. We studied faith and obedience and how the two are inseparably intertwined.
We decided to fast on Friday. By far the most difficult fast I have ever had! I woke up hungry and spent the day with a headache to kill the beat! I could complain for years but I will not because I don't want to. The important thing is that we fasted for the fire to be obedient and the help of the Savior in doing so. That day we did everything in our power to be perfectly obedient. It was not easy! Sometimes we giggle about the Elders and sometimes I want to punch people in the face and sometimes we are too busy talking about crazy Peruvian antics to really listen to the guidance of the Spirit. But as we exercised our faith and fasted prayerfully, we felt prompted by the Spirit and carried by the Savior. We saw no manifestations of lost loved ones. We heard no concourses of angels singing our praises. We ended our day with a hard-earned sandwich and the tremendous peace that we had focused and done everything that Heavenly Father had asked of us. Vamos a ver nuestro éxito al ejercer nuestra fe y ser completamente obedientes.
Also, a bunny chowed down on the corner of my scriptures during a lesson. She ate a bit of the page about going to be judged by God at the last day.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Also, go eat a honeydew melon. I promise it will not change your life like the closely related melon I ate the other day. It just won't be Peruvian. But you should try anyway.
Also, Richard G. Scott and David A. Bednar and Linda S. Reeves gave a conference for all the stakes in Peru on Sunday. It was beautiful. I love them.
Also, one of our investigators, Andres, found me on Facebook (how? I haven't the foggiest) and has started to call me Hermana Andrea. I don't care how adorable that 12-year-old is. He ain't supposed to call me by m' first name. Pray for his soul.
Also, quote of the week goes again to Hermana Moody:
NO QUIERO SER FATTY MCFATFAT!
But Elder Brown comes in close second with a series of quotes about the merits of our beloved nation.
