last one: i'm not here to pick weeds

 what's up guys!! this is my last pday WHAT!!??

it's so bittersweet but here are a few tender mercies Heavenly Father gave me this week to ease all the crazy feelings:

-got a free torta frita from a guy that sells them because i told them they're my favorite thing in Uruguay

-in exchanges i got to visit two of my past areas, paso carrasco and la paz. I felt so lucky to be able to check up on friends, members and converts.

-our friends Miguel and valentín were baptized!! Miguel is an adorable reformed military man and Valentín is best friend of the only deacon in the branch. 

-after praying all transfer to find our family, and contacting literally every family we have seen in the past 6 weeks, my comp and i were thrilled to see a mother and daughter sitting in sacrament this week, along with some of our other friends. They had been invited by a family member in another ward and loved the meeting!!

President shared something in our last mission conference that really stuck with me. He shared a story about Henry b. Eyring's dad, who volunteered on a church-owned farm as an elderly man. After a back-breaking day of weeding in the farm, one of the other workers said "what are you doing?! we've already sprayed weed-killer on this whole part of the farm!"

all of his work was completely unecessary, the weeds would have died on their own. This humble man just laughed and laughed, finally pulling himself together enough to say "i'm not here to pull weeds".

and that's how i feel right now. I'm so thankful to Heavenly Father for letting me work alongside Him, and i plan to keep doing it after the mission. but i know that it's not the work i'm doing here that counts, it's the change it's made in me. It's the way giving my full heart and soul to that work has molded me to become more like my Savior Jesus Christ, who i know loves me and every one of you.
