well there is another week gone =) what an amazing and dificult week it was!

So this week was so awesome =) we worked so so so so so hard and we definitly saw blessings for the work! we had 2 baptisms yesterday =) an let me tell you we sure worked for them =p i think this week i walked and ran more than any other week in my life! we were going back and forth from house to house in totally different part of the ward bounderies to prepare everything for these baptisms. it was sop worth it though =) the 2 young women who were baptised are really awesome! and the the grandpa who baptised them too =) i have really enjoyed working with this family and i am really happoy that in this mission i get the chance to work with them after their baptism to help them prepare for the temple too =) we get the chance to work a lot with our retencion and i love it =)




this week was so amazing. i studied a lot in the book Jesus the christ this week for personal study. i love that book i learned so much about our savior this week. he was just a person like us. he wasnt born with the knowledge of his destiny or role in life. Through his own personal study and through revelation he found out what his destiny was. we all have role in this world and with studies and through revelation we can find out what our roles are. i would like to change you all this week to pray and ask what your role in life is. i know and promise that if you all do that you will learn about why you are here. you wont recieve all the information but you will find out something new about yourself and why you are here.




i know that i am here to serve this mission. i know that i am in the right placew and that this is part of my destiney here on the earth. i hope that you all know how much i love you and i hope you know how much god loves you too because it is way more than any of us canj even imagine =)




i hope you all have blessed weeks!

Week unknown

Hno barrueto gave me a Chile jersey! =))) it is game standard and i love it =)

so this week was really good!!! we got to listen to an apostle speek (elder Nelson) =) i loved his message so much. well actually him and his wifes messages. they were both really awesome. sister Nelson talked about our premortal selfs and about earthly potential. we all lived together with god before this life and we made covenants with god and with a ton of other people. well when we passed through the vail we somehow forgot all of that =p our job right now is to remember that stuff. that is a lot easier said than done =P But as week search for guidens through the spirit and ask for help to rember these things through prayer we will remember. all the things we do in this life are just distractions from the things that we promisssed to do before this life. we just need to linit distractions and the lord will help us =) elder nelso talked about the abrahamic covenant. most of us are from the tribe of joseph. our job is to help the other tribes gather. it is a life long goal, not just a goal for a missikonary. i am going to do my best to dedicate my life to the gathering of isreal. ypu dont have to be a missionary to help in the conversion of people. i challenge you all to do your best to help others come into the light of chridt too.




so this week we also started a new plan of accion for our sector. more info on what it is and how it is working will come next week. right now i would just ask for you all to pray for me and pray for our plan =)




i know that when we need help we can go to the lord in prayer and he will give us all we need to m,ake things work =)




i love you all and i hope that you have amazing weeks =)

Being a missionary is awesome!!!!

me and elder fernandez the day of transfers!

Well wow there went another week! and it was sure awesome! i seriously love it here. i love my mission so much and it is going by so fast. in 2 weeks i finish 5 months and before i know it i will be at 6. i dont know if it as fast for you all as it is for me but santa vaca timeis flying!




so this week was much better than last week! we were both really healthy anmd we had the chance to really work hard! we met a lot of really cool people and we had a lot of chances to give service. we worked outside doing yard work 2 days this week. it was really nice to get out and do physical labor like that =)




So elder Fernandez is from chile but really far south. tjis week i got to try some of the food that he eats down there. it was so good! i liked it so much that i bought stuff to make it today =p its called ulpo (oolpoe in english) basically it is toated wheat (harina tostada) with powder milk, sugar, and hot water. it is like oatmeal and i eat it for breakfast every week =)




so i really like toys here. i play a lot with tops (trompos) and Volentines (kites) but this week i found another awesome toy that is by far my favorite. here it is called a diabolo but in english it is a chinese yoyo. i am obsessed with it. i play with it every night to calm myself down before bed. i am getting pretty good with it if i do say so myself ;) haha so yeah if anyone knows cool tricks you can do with a chinese yoyo please send like a foto guide about how to do it becaus ei am trying to learn new tricks with it!




we taught a lot of really awesoem people this week. orlando is by far my favorite person to teach right now. he is 82 and i felt a super strong connection with him as soon as we started teaching him. i think he is one of those people that i knew after this life. i know that before this life we all connected with people in heaven. i know that we can find these people herew on the earth. seriously it is the craziest feeling. its like i knew a ton about him when i had just met him. ive had so many wonderful experiences liek that here. the spirit is so strong here. it is amazing. i never want to lose the spirit of the lord ever because i know that he is a guide that is always here for us. he wants us to do our best and he will always help us do exactly that. this week i would like to invite you all too take the time and listen to the spirit a little more and follow its promptings with all of your heart. i know that if we do that our lives can and will be better than we ever imagined was possible =)




i hope you all have blessed weeks! remember that the lord is always her for you when you need him
