Meggee Poppin's

Meggee Poppin’s!!

The subject title is in reference to a myriad of things… Many emails poppin in all day with lots of fun photos. The fact that Meg has to “Pop” into the American Embassy to make sure she is still legit to be in Costa Rica.  She has been whitewashing an area and could be possibly popping into a new one tomorrow?? and finally… It’s the rainy season in Costa Rica. The umbrella…. Wow, metaphorically we could go really deep there but, let’s just stay surface level and say it protects ya! The missionaries are always being protected.  D & C 84:88 came into my mind several times this week… still not sure why?? I didn’t get any crazy stories from Hermana Workman. I am not sure she shares everything and it’s probably for the best. We know she is protected and we believe in the power of prayer!  “And whoso ^areceiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go^bbefore your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my ^cSpirit shall be in your hearts, and mine ^dangels round about you, to bear you up.”~ D & C 84:88

 

Let faith overcome your fear and hope overcome your despair! Please, take a minute to watch this Mormon Message. It’s the message that Megan wanted to share with all of you this week. The link is below. XOXO The Workman’s

“Buenas tardes a mi familia eterna. ¡YO EXTRAÑO MUCHO! 

And that´s about all the time I’ll spend trying to type Spanish. haha. 

Frankly, nothing happened this week. I walked and talked with strangers. Trying to find some people to teach. It could possibly be my last week in this beautiful city. I honestly don´t know if I´m ready for change or not. I do know I´m ready to find people who want to hear this gospel. Missionary work is a lot more fun when, well, when there´s work. haha.” 

I´ve trained and I´ve witewashed. Frankly, I prefer not training, but it kept me more obedient. Whitewash is SOOOO FUN! Everyday is an adventure. It´s only tough for the first like...two to three weeks. It´s awesome being totally lost all the time. My current area has only ever had elders in it. We´re the first sisters here ever! The miracles we’ve seen are amazing! There are many houses the Elders could never get into. I’ve see miles of miracles. I made a list of the kind of trainer-companion I wanted to be. The kind of things to avoid, and things to try. It was great.

I know this church is true. I know that Jesus Christ came and redeemed us all from the fall of Adam and Eve. I know our Heavenly Father loves us all so much. I love you all so much! For those of you in times of desperation, fear, anxiety, I advice you to watch, A mother´s Hope. A Mormon message about the power of prayer. I love it! And I love you! http://www.mormonchannel.org/mormon-channel-daily/233?v=2371781721001
