Hermana Bloxham - Too many blessings! ;)

Hey everybody!!

 I'm not really sure what to talk about this week.. We had a few
pretty slow weeks of lessons and everything, but had some fun pday
stuff and little trips. But we have been getting back to work this
week and last week. It feels good to do the lords work. Something I
have kind of been struggling with is just keeping up the work. There
are just so many things from home and getting  ready to go home that
pull my thoughts away from the missionary work here. Don't get me
wrong I love being a missionary, that's why it's so crazy! It's like
both sides offer something great and it's hard to stay all the way
with either one. I guess that's just part of the "dying process" or
the going home soon process haha. Anyways!
 Even with all of that, we have been blessed beyond comprehension. We
have been finding some amazing golden investigators and keeping them
and teaching them. A lot of times in missionary work you can find and
teach someone once or twice and they drop off and are not interested.
But lately we have been finding people that are truly interested and
truly ready to accept the gospel. It has been amazing to see the
difference. Lucy, Lorraine, and Serafín are doing awesome! They are
our most progressing family. They come to church every week on their
own, they came to a noche de hogar(FHE) on Monday and they have just
been doing so great! They all want to be baptized, we just need to set
up a date for them. We are really shooting for September 6th! We are
really excited!
 Well, we are on our way down to the city to see Washington Square,
which is in I am Legend, then the 911/ground zero, then the
Metropolitan Museum. I'm super stoked! We can go to the city every
pday this transfer because I'm going home! It's going to be sick! I
have all the places all planned out and I'm super stoked! We are going
to go mini golfing on the pier in a couple weeks! New York is so cool!
Haha.
Well, I just want to end with my testimony that I know that everything
we go through is for our growth. Even though it's been pretty hard for
me to stay focused these last few weeks, I know that I am going to be
stronger for it. The Lord knows us perfectly and won't give us
something we can't handle. I know that this is The Lords work and that
we can grow closer to Him by sharing it.

I love you all so much!
