This week was super crazayyy. Monday we went to Riverside so Santoyo could get her drivers license...she totes didn't pass hahahha she was so mad, i just laughed at her. Tuesday we went to the beautiful Redlands Temple. It was absolutely amazing. We had the coolest experience. So one of the ladies that took some of the sisters just came up and hugged all the sisters in the celestial room, she's just bawling right? After we asked the sisters what was the matter and they said that the lady had this thought "Tell my daughter i love her" So she didn't know which daughter it was so she just hugged all of us. It turns out that Hermana Dulongs mom passed away when she was 8, and it was her ride that hugged all the girls. When Hermana Dulong told me the story she said "Hermana Gates! That was my mom!:)" Coolest experience of my life. I get the chills every time i think about it. I love the temple. I know Gods loves his children so much. Im so grateful for forever families. Thursday i went on exchanges with Hermana Williams, she is seriously the cutest. I learned so much from her. I want to become the best person i can be and i'm so grateful for all the people that are will to help me like all of you:) We found out Edgar did drugs on Tuesday and when we went to visit him he was super mean, it was on saturday which is mothers day in Mexico. So his mom was crying cause he was being mean to her. It makes me so sad but they call us over every time to get everything settled. He wasn't very nice to us but the thing i learned from that lesson is no matter what you just have to show people that you love them. I have so much love for the people here. We also got the opportunity to teach Julio and Antonio this week. Cutest thing. We taught the plan of salvation, with the little pictures Mitzi made me and then we read 3 Nephi 11 together in english and Spanish. Every time Julio read a verse he said "Oh my gosh this chapter is so cool!!!" I have never met anyone so excited to read the BOM. He has the sweetest spirit:) I do love being a missionary. With all my heart. I will never ever regret going. I love you all, it was the best thing talking to all of you!!!!!!!! I couldn't even focus in church i was so excited haha I cant wait till christmas!!:)
Love you:)
