Perspectives

Fenice Pulido's Baptism (Hermana Greenwood adores this family!)

Serving a mission in Mexico City is one of the coolest things ever. I have only been in the field for about a month, but I feel like so much has changed, especially my perspective. We are able to have hours of study time every day, and I feel like every day I learn something new about this gospel. I have gotten to hear so many people bear their testimonies and share their experiences and I gain a new perspective each time they do. We all have so much to contribute to this work, it is incredible.

Sisters Salazar & Greenwood (Exchanges!)

This past week we have been teaching a lady named Karina and her 9 year old daughter, Melisa. They just showed up to church a couple weeks ago after being contacted on the street and are so ready to learn about and follow Christ. I have loved watching Karina as she bears testimony of the Book of Mormon. That book is true. I know it, it changes lives.

Another lady recently returned from a trip, but it looks like she is going to go back for good. She is in a horrible situation and she called us the other day in tears. We brought her some of our leftover food and got her ice for a huge bruise she had on her leg. We couldn't do much for her, but just sitting and listening to her and crying with her was what she needed.

Mexico is amazing, and the gospel is so incredibly true. I want each of you to know how big a part you play in Heavenly Father's plan. I believe Elder Holland gave a talk about how each of us 'have a part in the choir.' I testify that that is true. We each have a part, a very big part, and we can all learn so much from each other.

Have a wonderful week!!
