Transfers coming...more information next weekk!

Well, hey y'all!

This week was one of those that just flew by! Sister Vasquez was a little bit under the weather, so we had quite a bit of down time. So that meant lots of studying for what I'm going to say at the Sister's Conference tomorrow (Meh! Even though I have been a missionary for a while, I still do not like speaking in front of other people!) AND mi Kriol!!! Ai mi laan lat a tings--ai tink--bowt di Kriol langwij. Ai wahn chrai fi yooz moa a it eena fi mi letas tu unu. Bot unu noh hav Google Translate tu help unu andastan wot ai di chrai fi seh. Soree bowt dat! ;) hahaha

But it's coming along! If you all would like a letter in Kriol, just send me an email wid yo address! I'll get on it during my language study time.... :D haha

Umm....but yeah. The week, even with it's downtime, went well. On Tuesday, all of us missionaries and Jorge went to RD's--one of the restaurants in town for my birthday lunch. And YES--they did shove my face in the cake. Little did they know that that is already a tradition of mine own at our house..... They don't even have to push it in! ;) HA! (The joke's on them.... :D) But it was a great day. Jorge came out with us the whole day to go visiting and he said at the end of it (and I quote): "This was one of the best days of my entire life!" And it was a really, REALLY good one. We had great lessons, met with my wonderful friends here in Corozal, and I just....couldn't stop smiling. I really felt God's love for me. :D

We also had interviews with President and Sister Hintze on Saturday. Quite the highlight of the day/week/MONTH for me! I love both of them and they really seem to know what to say to me and at what time to say it. President really helped me see the good in our trials. He shared a little bit with me about his life and his trials. He lost his dad when he was fairly young too and it was pretty difficult for him (as it is for anyone). But he told me, "Sister McCulloch. We are so blessed! We were born into a family with two wonderful, loving parents. We were blessed to be born in a good environment such as Utah to be surrounded with people who share our beliefs. Everything has led up to this point--where we have the opportunity to share what we know. We meet so many people everywhere who have been born into dysfunctional families, who don't have the gospel, who don't have what we have. But Heavenly Father expects us to share what we know so that they, too, can have what we have."

Where much is given, much is required. I have come to realize that here on the mission. I have been blessed by my Father in Heaven and He continues to do so. Now how am I going to show Him my gratitude? By continuing to share His word with everyone I meet! I invite you all to do the same! So many people are waiting for this gospel at this time. Find those who need it! Don't forget that He is the Gift and that it's a gift that we need to share at all times and in all places!

I know that Christ lives. He loves us and has provided us a way to be happy in this life and return to live with Him and our families in the next. Our Father in Heaven is guiding us, cheering us on, and is aware of our every need. He will be there to lead us along in our most trying times.

I love and pray for you all. Keep finding opportunities to share what you have learned to strengthen your testimony and the testimony of others this week!

Love Always,

Sistah M.
