I cannot believe that I am sitting in a little tienda in Ojo De Agua, writing to my faimily. this has been the craziest day. So many new things and trusting that everything is gonna be okay! missions man...theyll make ya feel every emotional. all at once.
SO we left the CCM at 2:30, which means no i did not sleep last night at all haha cause packing and stuff also freaking out. BUT we left for the airport and our flight left at 6:50. The flight was good and i was able to sleep, which was super nice. Flying over and into Veracruz was AMAZING! it was so incredibly beautiful. i tried to take pictures out the window but it did no justice. It literally looks like hawaii, so green and beautiful. So we landed and we greated by our mission president! President Cordova. He is amazing and i already admire him so much. Then we went to the mission home, ate breakfast took pics and all that good stuff.
then we went to the mission office, which was awesome! We had a presentation of the mission by the APs and it was awesome. President has a lot of rules..but i can feel thay they are inspired. I had to give my ipod to the APs ;( we cant have them..they will give it back to me when i leave. lol. anyhooo it was awesome.
SO THEN, we got out companions!!! I already love her, her name is Hermana Rivero. She is from Missiones, Argentina! so thats awesome. shout out to brooke and matt. She has only been out for 3 months and 1 1/2 of those months she was in argentina cause she was waiting for a visa. So i think we will learn a lot together!
We are serving in Ojo de Agua, which is 3 hours away from the mission home. So that was a blessing to be able to sleep on that bus ride. But i havent really seen what the area is like cause it was already dark, but i am so excited to be her! It is inland and very north so it wont be as hot :) awesome
I am so excited to be here. I am kinda freaking out and i do feel a little overwhelmed with all of this, but i know i can do this through my heavenly father and my savior! I love that knowledge. All things are possible through Christ. It is the truth and am SO grateful that tomrrow i get the walk the streets of mexico. I feel so blessed! I love this gospel and i love this work.
A scripture that i have read over and over this week is, Alma 5:26.."and now behold, o say unto you, my bretheren, if ye have experienced a hange of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, i would ask, can ye feel so now?" this scripture is amazing. I feel so strongly the need to sing the song of redeeming love. Missionary work is the most important work. I feel so humbled to know that my savior finds me worthy to represant him, this church, my family and much more here in mexico.
I am ready tp serve with all my heart and soul. This is the work of Angels, i can feel it. I love this gospel and i know Christ lives. I love you all, mu family and friends are a huge blessing. I love you.
me amo,
Hermana Farrow
