Herman Guerrero's Last email!

Hola Family and Friends:

I honestly know even know where to begin. The time has come. The time has just gone by so quickly and now I’m here sitting in front of the computer writing you all my last email as a missionary… what can I say? I love the mission. I love the missionary work and I’m so humbled and forever grateful to have been able to serve here and represent my savior Jesus Christ  and testify  to all that he lives. 

The mission thus far has been the greatest thing of my life and for my life. Not because it was easy but because I truly got to get to know my dear Savior.  Come unto Him and receive joy in inviting others to come unto Christ. I know all that I have lived and testified is true. I know that He lives and that this work is true. I thought I would have more time to type up what I wrote for you all this week but I don’t but that’s okay. 

I at least want to testify that the work continues to go on. I am not ending. I am not done and NEVER will be done. I love this work and will forever, until the day I die, testify of my Savior and of his life and His church. It is here on earth and we have a way to return back to our Heavenly Father nad Savior. We have the chance to have an eternal family because of this church. I testify that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church of God. It is the ONLY church that will help us return to Him. I know that Christ is leading his church. That Thomas S. Monson is a ture prohet today. I know he has Gods authority.  I know he has been called to direct us and that he receives revelation for us. I know without a doubt in my heart that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God called to resotre the Chuch of Jesus Christ. I know the Book of Mormon testifies of these things and that if one reads the Book of Mormon and asks of God he can know that it truly is another testament of JESUS Christ. I am thankful for my Savior. Thankful to know him and to have been changed by him. I am different, I have changed, I am clean, cured and forever in debt to his divine oven ad mercy. I know what I say to be true and I love you all. Thank you all for supporting me and helping me to make one of the best decisions if not THEE best decision of my life. I have had my ups and downs moments of pure happiness and other moments of tears and sadness. But I have learned more than I can explain here in in the mission field. I am not ending. I gotta keep going and I will. 

I love my Savior and end saying that I know he lives and loves every one of us. Thank you, I am so humbled…thankful…without words…

My heart is full. I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me and I know that my Redeemer lives! 

See you all soon (:

Hermana Guerrero 

I Stand All Amazed!

Dear Family and Friends!








 I am sure that probably many of you have heard of this hymn.(posted at the end of this letter) This hymn has changed my life. Before the mission when I received my answer about going on a mission, and since it has helped me with all that has happened. I know my Savior lives. I know he loves each and everyone of us. And I know he loves me because here in the mission it has been manifested to me how real and alive he actually is. I know that He lives! I know he can help us in ALL that we need.  And I know that he will continue to always help us if we come unto Him. He not only came down to this earth to help us be cleansed of our past and of all our sins, but he also came down here to offer his life and be the one to save us from whatever hurt, pain, sickness, or temptation we experience in this life. I can't quite grasp the depth of it all...But i do know that i am thankful for what i do understand. I know we are here for a reason...for a purpose. We are here to FOLLOW HIM. 


I love you all and hope with all my heart that you are each getting to know the Savior more and more each day. I know I am and I know he is and will forever help me. He makes up for all my shortcomings and I am so thankful for that. Seek Him and I promise you will get to know Him very well. :) 


I love you and I know tons are wondering how I feel...? Honestly I feel normal. I FEEL THAT I STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO DO...AND I DO!!!! Each and everyday :) I am happy :) Nervous...claro? But I just have follow the Lords plan and follow his timing! All is well all is well!

Much Love,

Hermana Guerrero




1. I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,
Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me.
I tremble to know that for me he was crucified,
That for me, a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died.
Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!


2. I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine
To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine,
That he should extend his great love unto such as I,
Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.
Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!


3. I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt!
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,
Until at the glorified throne I kneel at his feet.
Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

Bursting with Love and Gratitude!

Hola FAMILIA Y AMIGOS!

Yes ,I know it has been a little while since I have written you all. Please forgive me. I promise it's not because I don’t want to! Sometimes we come to the office late and only have enough time to write Presdidente and yeah we are out. I tell the family I am alive and happy and out the door we go to work! But I remember when I was set apart Presdient Williams told me that I needed to try my best to always let you all know how I am doing and to hear about the miracles I am witnessing here in Mexico. There have been a ton! 

I don’t even know where to begin because it has been a little while. But I believe I left off when Elder Bednar was going to be coming and LET ME JUST SAY THIS PAST CYCLE WAS SO  CRAZY but amazing with the visits we had from Elder Bednar and Elder Arnold. I sat right in front of Elder Bednar and just felt his spirit. It was so surreal and I still cant believe that I got to listen to a live apostle of the church. He spoke a lot about the spirit. How the Spirit is the teacher and he will help us come to know the truth of ALL things. He talked about the importance to always read and learn from the book of Mormon and explained the work will continue to go and that he really came down here to find the individuals who need his help. In the moment I honestly was just so…just in shock? And than after…after being able to really meditate on all the things he spoke I was just changed.

The FOLLOWING day we had a visit from a seventy, Elder Arnold, and man let me tell you that he is INTENSE. He has NO shame to tell you the truth and you just want to repent for all your errors. Hahah! I honestly was shaking when he started…but then dear President spoke to all of us and gave an introduction and told us to not be afraid of him and to really take advantage of the time we have to learn from him..and then I felt better but man I think I was more intimidated from him than Bednar but it was good because he helped me to see exactly what I need to do to get better and be better and he stressed the importance of working with members. He promised that if we use the lists and that if we work with members the mission will see a double number of baptisms which is…A TON! All the Zone Leaders and Sister Trainer Leaders were able to have an interview with him and so I got to talk to him and it was really neat. He made me feel really good, asked about my family, how I got to be here on the mission and asked me to specifically tell Mom something he said, "Please tell your Mom that Elder Arnold is VERY happy and pleased with you and your decisions and that he is happy that you are going to church and to NOT stop. Don’t stop going forward…” Mom I love you and I give a late shout out the you for Mothers Day! And to all the mothers that have helped me to get here. I am thankful to be your “daughter!” And also a special late Happy Fathers Day! To all the wonderful Fathers (: 

So, that was what happened and then Presdient told the asistents and my companion and I that we were still to have the Leadership Council the following week…so we all kind of freaked out for the time but it was okay we fasted and it went pretty well. Some little mess ups with technology but the spirt always helped and allows us por lo menos to have the words we need. We went over the things we learned with Elder Arnold and focused a lot on working with members. As well this past cycle we have seen miracles we had 2 bautismos one bother who is named Daniel and another who is named Fiore from two different families. It was so beautiful because Daniel,  who is A HUGE jokester, cried before his entrevista and has just changed SO much! He actually went to the temple yesterday with the stake to do bautismos por los muertos! You can just see the difference in his eyes and Fiore really was such a milagro because she didn’t want to get baptized with her family when the Elders were here and so she didn’t. But we talked with her and worked a lot with the members and she decided to get baptized and I guess she made a comment on FB or something saying it was the best decision of her life! 

 We are seeing Milagros and my companion and I have fasted everyday Saturday since we have been here and we have had and felt some TOUGH opposition but we feel good. We were suppose to have a batism but our dear investigadore wasn’t home and he told us he was going to leave but come back but he left because a family invited him to eat and he is pretty poor and doesn’t have a lot of money and I had a feeling he would be a little late for his interview but then it was STORMING RAIN LIKE RAINING SO HARD and he travels everywhere on a bike and so we prayed for him that he would be okay but he didn’t show up for his interview so it was all a little hard…we were still riding our bikes but the water was like to our knee and my dear scriptures and all got wet and I honestly felt like I jumped in a pool and got out..haha but he and another hermano should be getting baptized we have a ton who are what we call possibles they have gone to church but just need to decide SI! 

OH, and I forgot to tell you all…I AM STAYING IN VILLAS DE PACHUCA ! Our distict leader called us mid day on Monday and said , Hermana Guerrero…NO tiene cambios” My companion and I were sooo happy! I was nervous because I absolutely love this area and being here but I didn’t think I would be able to end here…I think all of us thought I was having changes for sure but…I am still here and very grateful! So this following week we have Leadership Council and my companion and I are giving two in one because we are always giving a capacitation to all the new sister training leaders…all of them are basically new except for my past companion Hermana Cardona so it should be good..I hope and  pray that we wont have problems with technology or anything and that we can all just feel the spirit and be instriuments in HIS hands. We as well together will be talking about invitations. Extending direct invitations and how that is the way to really complete with our purpose. Please pray for us. 

I am so thankful to be here and to work with such people to remember all of your great examples. I remmebr Mama Lisa and Mama Raddigan always encouraging me to go on a mission and always telling me it would change my life. I still rember being at lunch with Lisa Nelson and telling her…I don’t know what I want for my lfie but I don’t think I want to get married and maybe I will just have a good career and yeah be happy…and than she told how important it is to have a life focused on living the gospel of Jesus Christ. I was probably 15 at the time? Don't remember but I just remember the examples that YOU ALL have given me to be here. I could not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for you all coming back for me. I was lost, I was living in my own apostasy but you all saved me. I thank the Nelson Family ,Raddigan Family, Karchhner Family, Chandler Family, Hogge Family, Landry Family,  Cahoon Family , Busch Family, Arygyle Family, Jensen Family,  Williams Family, Trau Family, and Wolf Family!!! I hope I am not forgetting anybody but I thank all of my YW leaders, seminary Teachers and friends who always helped me to keep going and to be here. 

I know my Savior lives I know I can honestly say "I KNOW that this is the true church and I have this testimony because of all of you and because I am able to serve a mission. This past week we shared a video of the Savior with a family after la coimida and I always try to testify to all the Savior loves THEM…that he dies for THEM …But I was watching the video "Because he Lives" and just felt an overwhelming feeling that not only did he die for them and loves them but that he came down here to earth for ME  that he too loves ME and died for ME. Don’t know what happen but it all just hit me so so strong and I was bawling …crying so much and the spirit was there and it was so strong! I know he loves me and loves each and everyone of you. I know it was definitely work to be here where I am at right now and to be able to say that with such assurance but I know he lives I know he loves me and you and everyone of us and that HIS church truly is here on the earth. Many of the churches in the world are good.  They help people and serve and allow people to see miracles through their faith.  BUT I KNOW that there is only one true church in the world that will help us return to the presence of our dear God and Savior. There is only ONE church that has the divine authority of God and I know that the truthness was lost when the the people rejected our Savior and his apostoles but I too know as well that God will never leave his children in confusion forever he would never keep his children in darkness forever and for that the gospel was restored through a prophet named Jose Smith. I know that the true church in on the earth today I know that if one has a doubt all they need to do is read the book of Mormon and ask God if it's true and I promise you as a representative of Christ that He will tell you and answer your prayers and tell you yes or no. God can't lie and wouldn't do so..so it's just hat clear, this is trhe true church of God or no. I humbly testify that it is true and that if you accept God and his Son in your life you will be changed. Changed for the better. I have been changed and am still changing for the better. I love you all and testify that My Savior lives. I know HIM. I feel him near me and am thankful for him everyday I get to put on a badge and represent HIM. I LOVE YOU ALL and wish you a wonderful 4th of July! Be strong and never lose the faith. He loves you and wants YOU to be happy.

Love,

Hermana Guerrero

Hola, Hola, Hola ,Hola!

HOLA HOLA HOLA  HOLA Familia y amigos,

 I cannot believe I am here at the computer writing again. Time is flying quicker and quicker each week! We are about to end this cycle and I feel like we just started. Today (Saturday) is our P-day and so we were able to get some cleaning done. As I was washing some of clothes by hand I thought and pondered on the time I have been here in Mexico and how honestly I feel like it is my home. Never had I thought I would feel this way just because it all was so different when I got here, BUT the customs and culture is so normal to me now. I don’t know how I am going to feel to not eat tortillas at every meal and to not greet every person (well the women haha) with a kiss on the cheek. Its these little things that have come to be so normal to me. I love Mexico I love my mission and I absolutely love love LOVE being  a missionary!

This last week was a pretty stressful week. We had the Leadership Council. And it was pretty great. My companion and I talked about the importance of Obedience. And the importance of being obedient to the rules in the mission and to listen and follow what the Leaders of the church have asked us to do. I truly have a testimony of being exactly obedient to the Lord. I love the scripture in Doctrine and Covenants that “ I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise.” Presidente Egbert has always always always talked to us about Obedience and I am so thankful for that. When we do our part and put our trust in HIM he can bless us in ways we can't imagine or even comprehend. So yah it was kind of like an overview of what we have talked about before in other councils but being that we have new missionaries it was important that we talk about the daily schedule and just ALWAYS being obedient. 

Because of all the planning we had to do we didn’t have much time to practice so when we finally presented in the council I just said a prayer. I think it went well. I am still a firm believer that its always better to practice and just manage time to do all but I am learning. This assignment is a lot of work but I am so thankful and so humble. Our President of the mission, Presdient Egbert, is an incredible man and I respect him so much and am so thankful I get to work so closely with him.

 I feel that I haven’t really told you all much about my area. I love it! I was here before when I was in the trio and it has been amazing to see some of my converts here still be so strong! Theres one, named Maria del Sol and we are working on her going to the temple because she will complete a year the next month.

We have a LOT of investigators progressing BUT only 2 of them have a date set to be baptized. I know there are people here who are ready to make this change in their lives and I am so thankful to share this message of the Restoration of the Gospel. It is perfect and it all make SENSE. CLARO, la fe no es tener un conociemitno perfecto PERO if people need facts and need scriptures to help know this church is true ( even though all they really need to do is pray) we got them! The bible and the book of Mormon work together and it is just SO beautiful. They compliment each other and help us understand the doctrine of Jesus Chrsit. Ever wondered what your purpose is here on the earth? Thanks to the BOM Y biblia we've got the answer? Want to know where we go after this life? Got that answer as well? Why is life so hard and how can you be more happy? Got that answer as well! The gospel is perfect, claro las personas NO :p Pero el evangelio si si si J. I don’t have any doubt about this church and this gospel. 

I am so thankful to have actually been able to learn about how it all works. As always “I am thankful for the gospel” without really knowing what the the gospel of jesus cristo was! I feel I can testify with so much more certeza because I know. I don’t just think or believe. I KNOW. And with those who want or are thinking about going on a mission? Do it. Today I was reading a talk by Elder Holland that made me cry like a baby today. I cried because I just felt the spirit so strong and I could testify to his words that there are Milagros that come from a mission. It is the BEST decision anybody can and will ever make for their life. And that is why I give a special shout out to my brother (Isaiah I am so very happy for your decision to go on a mission! You wont regret it it.) It wont be easy but it will be the best thing you can do for your life and you truly will know the Savior aun mas. My heart is full and I am happy and thankful.

 About two hours ago President called and when I talked to him he told me that we have changes. My companion will be leaving and training somebody who will be a new sister trainer leader. So I will be getting a new companion Tuesday. Going to be different and I am going to miss here a ton because she really is my best friend and THE best companion I have ever had. I love her like my sister and I know I will be visiting her in Arizona. In the mission, more people become your family and the mission becomes your home. The next week we have somebody very special coming to our mission…ya'll ready? ELDER BEDNAR is coming to our mission to talk to us so that will be something absolutely amazing. I am trying to prepare myself spiritually for when he comes. NEXT Monday he will be here in Mexico with us. And then I believe 2 weeks after one of the Seventy are coming to visit our mission. We have ton of surprises and lots of things happening. And that’s how it is always going to be. I love my Savior so much and I know that he lives and I know that we are all here in this great special purpose to help our brothers and sisters know of HIM. Find Him and come unto HIM. Let him be your light and let HIM bring you peace. Jesus Christ will, if you allow him to. I testify that this is HIS work and HIS glory.

Wow! Does time just fly by when you are on the mission! I have just completed 13 months in Mexico! And on the 3 of May I will have 15 months in the mission in total. I can not believe how fast time goes.

I have and am loving every single moment of being a representative of my Savior Jesus Christ. I know He lives and I feel it every time I open my mouth and speak to another person who doesn’t know the gospel or who we are. It brings me such gratitude to tell them that my companion and I are representatives of HIM.

This week was a great week! I had to give a talk in my ward about missionary work and I just love talking about how we ALL can be missionaries. This past week my companion Hermana Cardona and I had changes and so I got to work with 2 of the Sister Trainer Leaders. The sisters are so great and I am so thankful for the blessing I have to be able to know all the sister trainer leaders. They help me and I am the one learning from THEM. Don’t know if I do much, but I love them and am thankful to be here. My companion and I and the assistants will be working on the leadership council this week because in 2 weeks we have the leadership council meeting. Gonna be working LOTS this next week! 

I am so thankful to be able to work with Presdent Egbert. He is a great man who truly is inspired by God. I got to talk to him about seeing if I could extend my mission and………………sad news. I cannot because my time doesn’t fit in with the day of changes but it is okay I prayed a lot about it and well. I know that the Lord wants me to be back August 3^rd. But until then we are working VERY VERY hard!

 We have a lot of people who are listening to us and who have dates to be baptized. We have Jaime, a little old man who just went to church by himself one day and who wants to get baptized so bad. Just that he is hardly at home. But we have 2 christians named Lupita and her daughter named Monse. They are so awesome and Lupita loves the church so much. We also have a cute couple named David and Alejandra with their cute little daughter who always yells at us saying “AMIGGAASSS” haha and we have so many more and we know they can progress. 

I love teaching The Restoration and I think I probably taught it about 16 times this week! Heh, but it was so wonderful. I know that Christ really came down and established order and established his church with Prophets, apostles, revelation and authority. And when the people rejected him and his apostles the church was lost. But I know that God loves his children and for that he called a prophet to restore the church of Jesus Chrisdt. He didn’t call Jose Smith, el Profeta, to reform or make his own church but to restore it. I know the church of Jesus Christ again is here on the earth and that we are here to make covenants with the Lord and that now we can because the authority is here on the earth again! I love my Savior and I know He lives. I know that the Book of Mormon is the key to know if the church is true. I am thankful to be the light and know why we are here and know what is in store for us if we come unto Christ. It’s a beautiful plan. Come unto Christ! That is my invitation to you all. Get to know him and FOLLOW him! Have a wonderful week! 

Love your Fav Missionary in Mexico,

Hermana Guerrero
