well i finally have a moment to blog again. i am thinking it may take me all year to get through this tribute to my mission companions but i think it would help make it a great year. most of my pictures from my early mission are on my parent's computer so this is the only one i could find of me and my trainer, sister jesica lopez from argentina. this is the traditional "generation picture." sister glancy was sister lopez trainer, sister lopez trained me, and i trained sister mckay (stay tuned for a tribute to her later on). i can't think about sister lopez without thinking about love and service. there was not a day that went by when we were together that she did not serve me. and she had such a intense love for everyone we met and taught. God knew what he was doing when he inspired President stewart to put us together. she has such a big heart and was a hard worker. i used to tease her that she used to teach in her sleep. i would wake up in the middle of the night to her saying something like, "Heavenly Father loves you, yes." i eventually took after her months later when i was in montana i started teaching in my sleep. i guess it runs "in the family." i will always have a special place in my heart for sister lopez. i wasn't good about showing that appreciation while we were together, but i hope she knows how much i love her.
since the mission, my sweet jesica is now married and has a little baby (pictured below) that i refer to as my baby sister. jesica refers to me as "her first born in the wilderness."
Love this! I just wish my English was better by then haha but to me that was a BEAUTIFUL TRANSFER.I'm very grateful for you and your good example as a missionary of the Lord. One thing I will never forget was your faithfulness trying to convince the anti-Mormon people that the church is true, haha THAT WAS A GREAT DAY HUH!?
ReplyDeleteLove ya Florecita, I will always be grateful to Heavenly Father for putting us together again!
