Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!!
 
I don't know what you are all doing for mother's day, but here they're having a craft fair :) :) and the Men in our ward are doing a night of appreciation for the Women. Latino love songs!! Woo hoo! Also this Saturday we are doing this "missionary experience" with a big group of youth and we are taking them knocking doors...We don't really knock doors in our mission as much as other missions so this should be a fun experience. You never know who will answer the door nor what their response will be. It is pretty fun. ha. ALSO, we get to call home this Sunday night for 40 min....so we gotta make it good! I think we are 2-3 hours ahead of Arizona so I'll be planning to call that night anywhere from 6-8 (my time) so hopefully you guys can be around to wait. Sorry it's not very specific because we have the Visitor Center that night and we'll all be taking turns. But I'm excited to talk to you all!
 
So also, really cool news! We have events at the Visitor Center every month and one of them is called Night of Music and Inspiration which a sister is chosen to be in charge of. I was asked to do the next one!! How cool? So all of the theatre, workshops, and teaching kids is definitely being utilized in this mission. I'm still thinking of a catchy title that will cater to everyone (regardless of religion). But I'm putting together a version of There is Sunshine in My Soul Today (w/ the uke and 3 part harmony) Really excited! These events are so powerful and I love them because people from all different walks of life come and get to feel the spirit and feel uplifted when they leave. So if you have any ideas...write me!!
 
This last week has been really good with Hermana Shaw (from Utah). I was with her when she first came out and she has grown a lot. One of her biggest struggles has been Spanish, which I can relate to for sure, but this week I've been trying to step back and let her feel confident in doing this work. It sometimes gets overwhelming to balance both an area and the Visitor Center. It takes a lot of organization and multitasking (theatre has helped with that too). The cool thing is though, that even if everything falls through, you can still feel peaceful and unstressed knowing that you are doing your best and the rest is out of your control....I think that is something we need to always remember.
 
I love you all sooooo much!! And I am excited for Sunday! Take care!
