Gracee's Mission Adventures: Hombre sin nombre

This week was a little silly! Lots of little love notes from God that I really needed.

Hombre sin nombre

Ya so a homeless dude came up and talked to us and was going on and on about the second coming. He was nice and when I asked him what his name was, he said "hombre sin nombre" which translates to man without name. He was a little odd, but I remember saying a prayer in my head pleading that Heavenly Father would allow me to see this man the way He does. Something I've learned so much on my mission is that when we pray to see others the way Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ do, it makes it a little easier to see the good in ourselves too. We've taught the two great commandments a lot this week. And something I think we miss a lot is in the second great commandment "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself". Hmm as thyself. Sometimes that's the hardest part. We need to LOVE ourselves in order to love others too! I've learned a lot about that out here. Seeing not only myself but others the way God does. YOU are a loved daughter or son of an all-loving God. Don't forget it. And if you have, let's talk:)

Love notes

This week has been hard. Grief is a sucky sucky thing and sometimes it comes out of nowhere. I was having a really hard day, feeling sad and feeling the achy pains of my heart. I just wanted to cry and bury myself in my blankets, but it doesn't work like that. We were out stopping by lots of friends and tracting, all the things. And all I wanted was some elote but it was getting dark and the elote men go when it gets dark. So, I knew it wouldn't happen. So silly, I know, I was sad about elote. So we go do one more stop by and then all of the sudden, I hear the little horn honks of the elote man. I was HYPED! I got out and was little so excited I told this man that he was a miracle and gave him a book of Mormon. It was so fun. I got in the car and just felt the love from Heavenly Father so much like my angels were giving me a hug. God has a silly way of telling us he loves us sometimes, but I don't mind. That elote made my day and the best way to eat it is when it gets all up in your nose and all over your face so pic below.

My people

Saturday night all the Spanish wards in the CRM had a multicultural night. All the Spanish wards got together and if the missionaries had friends go, they got to go too! So, we got 8 people there and went! I got to see everyone! All my people from Hemet to Corona to Temecula and my heart was so happy. Tears were flowing from me and my amigos! I went home just feeling so grateful for the incredible people i have been able to meet and the relationships I've been able to create here. I LOVE the Latino culture. It will always have a huge piece of my heart. Seeing my people made me the happiest Hermana ever!

Wow. God is good.

Jesus is love! He loves YOU!
