No email this week, just a wonderful phone call!!

Angela left the Peru CCM (MTC) this morning. She called from the Lima airport, on her way to Guayaquil. She sounded very upbeat and extremely excited about the new adventures that await her in the mission field!

She told me about the last investigator she spoke with on Saturday named Luz, who looked directly into Angela's eyes and asked her if she'd ever see her again. Angela said she hoped she would, but if not in this life, then in the next. Angela then told me that she felt that perhaps in the pre-existence there were those who might have looked into the Savior's eyes before coming to earth and asking if they would see Him again. She imagined that He might have told them that they may not see Him on the earth, but they would meet those who have His light shining through their eyes, and that they would recognize that light.

I am so overwhelmed with the spiritual depth that Angela shows us each week through her letters. She has grown even more in the past 6 weeks as she's been in a place of spiritual instruction, while learning the Spanish language. I feel the love she has acquired for the people she will serve in Guayaquil, the same kind of love that the Savior has for all of us. It is unconditional, and it is never ending.

Hopefully, we will receive an email sometime next week, after Angela has settled into her first area. I'm looking forward to learning more about her experiences.

Have a great week all!
