Letter #56 - Week 58 - Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

October 28, 2019

Hola Everyone!

This week was absolutely wild with a million miracles in every corner. Carlos and Evelyn were baptized yesterday! All of our plans went in every direction, but it all turned out in the end. They have come so far in the past months and they were so excited to make this next step. The temple is where we're heading for them! 

Exchanges with Hermana Walker! She is obsessed with pumpkin spice, and I tried all of her pumpkin spice things while I was with her. It's been my dream to get ice cream from an ice cream truck, and my dream came true. Hermana Walker goes home in two weeks, and if Hermana Connolly and I don't go to transfers, then that could be the last time I see her for a little bit.

Hermana Connolly and I decided we wanted to be known in the mission for carrying around candy, because we found that when we give it to people it brings them a lot of joy, but the problem is that we eat the candy too. The English ward had their Halloween party and we found that someone wrote 'Free Candy' on the chalk board, so we took the opportunity to take a short photo shoot. 

New York is beautiful right now and it's wonderful to be able to drive around and enjoy the veiw.

Mosiah 29:33-41 

33 And many more things did king Mosiah write unto them, unfolding unto them all the trials and troubles of a righteous king, yea, all the travails of soul for their people, and also all the murmurings of the people to their king; and he explained it all unto them. 

34 And he told them that these things ought not to be; but that the burden should come upon all the people, that every man might bear his part. 

35 And he also unfolded unto them all the disadvantages they labored under, by having an unrighteous king to rule over them; 

36 Yea, all his iniquities and abominations, and all the wars, and contentions, and bloodshed, and the stealing, and the plundering, and the committing of whoredoms, and all manner of iniquities which cannot be enumerated—telling them that these things ought not to be, that they were expressly repugnant to the commandments of God. 

37 And now it came to pass, after king Mosiah had sent these things forth among the people they were convinced of the truth of his words. 

38 Therefore they relinquished their desires for a king, and became exceedingly anxious that every man should have an equal chance throughout all the land; yea, and every man expressed a willingness to answer for his own sins. 

39 Therefore, it came to pass that they assembled themselves together in bodies throughout the land, to cast in their voices concerning who should be their judges, to judge them according to the law which had been given them; and they were exceedingly rejoiced because of the liberty which had been granted unto them. 

40 And they did wax strong in love towards Mosiah; yea, they did esteem him more than any other man; for they did not look upon him as a tyrant who was seeking for gain, yea, for that lucre which doth corrupt the soul; for he had not exacted riches of them, neither had he delighted in the shedding of blood; but he had established peace in the land, and he had granted unto his people that they should be delivered from all manner of bondage; therefore they did esteem him, yea, exceedingly, beyond measure. 

41 And it came to pass that they did appoint judges to rule over them, or to judge them according to the law; and this they did throughout all the land.

¡Os Amo!
