"We should be worried when we don't have problems." -Nelson Don't you just love his attitude. Nelson is worth 400 rejections. ;) This week was great!!! - I had divisions with Hermana Gubernick and Hermana Gomez. Both are lovely, lovely girls. The future of the mission is bright. - This week we had a special visit from the elder who baptized Rodrigo (the boyfriend of Victoria). His name is Elder Montgomery from California and now he is almost 50!! (It was weird seeing an American fresh from the states). We had once with him, Rodrigo, and Victoria. It was so fun seeing his old photos and hearing his stories. He served in a part of out mission almost 30 years ago. Many of his converts are stake presidents, bishops, and so on in our mission. What an influence he had here. I guess we never know how much good we do. He said to us "It's true what they say, it's two years and eternity to think about it." That struck me right in the heart and now I know I need to work harder!!! Also the Elder had perfect spanish still. He is goals. - I LOVED CONFERENCE. I get so much more out of it as a missionary. This is probably weird, but when they said the number of convert baptisms I got huge smile on my face. I know and personally taught some of those people. For me that number has faces, stories, and a good part of my heart. - I went into conference just looking for some general guidance and peace. I didn't write any questions this time. For me the most powerful part was when the choir sang "Go Forth with Faith." This song has a special meaning for me. In fall 2015 we sang that in the General Women's Meeting. I remember being fresh into college and with a brand new mission call to a country I didn't know anything about. I was very scared. We sang that song and I cried! I remember feeling the courage to continue on with school and with this scary new mission call. It was more than ironic that we sang it again and I thought back to my days in Laramie and how that song gave me the courage to keep going. It was exactly the reminder I needed from my Heavenly Father to finish these next few months...strong. Without fear or regrets. -When they sang "How Firm a Foundation" I couldn't help but think of my wonderful mother (especially verse 3: "Fear not I am with thee..." ;) I am so grateful that she taught me about the Savior and gave me the firmest of foundations. I am grateful for a father who taught me a good work ethic, how to make jokes, and the importance of serving others. They seem to have both given me a good combination and I love them more than they will ever know. XOXO Hermana Brinkerhoff LOVE YOU ALLL!!!!!! :D
