So this is my last time writing you guys here in Argentina...
Ive just got to say, Im leaving but a big part of my heart will always been here... I cant even explain what ive learned this year and a half... but just know that God lives, he really does love us... and that in this year and a half... ive never felt His love more in my life...not only for me, but for all of his other children that have fallen along the way... He wants us to come back, es pleading us too.
hugged llamas, eaten my weight in empanadas, been kissed on the cheek by a lot of latin grandmas, ive been robbed from, ive been given too, ive been called RUBIA, ive laughed my butt off, had flour, waterballons, sparkles, and alot of other things thrown in my face, ive gotten to know my other family here, ive got alot more brothers and sisters here too, learned spanish.. mas o menos, been rejected from alot of people, killed so many coackroaches, showered by bucket, given so many book of mormons, taught so many people... ive seen the light of christ enter their lives, their eyes... ive given messages of hope, of love, ive cried with those who we're crying... ive really come to understand alot more about God... and his never ending love for us... ive done alot of things this year... met alot of people... been in 5 different areas, 3 wards, 3 branches, had 10 companions.... ive seen so much... how can I not tell you that this is the truth... Ive felt it in my heart... God knows everyone of us... he's given us this gospel, so we can be free from the chains of the world, and we can go to him. If anything, I think the best thing ive learned is really who I am, and where im going...
We are children of a loving Heavenly Father... and we will be with him one day... if that gives you hope, like it does to me... read your scriptures, say your prayers, go to church, dont wait.... dont hesitate... Hes waiting for you.
I love you all so much. Its been a long time since ive seen your faces... but I want to thank you all for going on this journey with me... for sending your love and support...
who would have thought, that a white blond girl heading to Argentina, would have not only survived the sun, the heat, the freakishly big bugs, but... come to love it? It hurts to leave.. these people... ahhh! But I know that God has alot more plans for me... And ill be nice to shower with hot water again... and without bucket... and to not have to wash my clothes by hand... i cant lie, im looking forward to that.. hahaha
LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH:::
See you next week,
Leaving ledesma...
