I know He Lives!

HOLA FAMILIA Y AMIGOS :)

Can I first start by saying that I LOVE MY MISSION. SO MUCH! I have felt the spirit so strong and honestly have seen milagros here on my mission.

 We had another baptism last week and it was beautiful. Her name is Maria, and she is the mother of our recent convert Yael (I will be sending pictures of them both) and this family is so very special to me. Before I started training, my other companions before helped me a ton and always lead the baptisms and just really took care of everything but when I was called to train Hermana Cuc I not only learned how to teach the lessons but, I now had a person depénding on me to teach and show her how to do everything and it changed me a lot. With having to really give it my all and help the people I am am responsible for here in my area and in the mission I have learned so much. Not just with the language but really how to get things done and just simply go forward with faith.

 This past week we were able to complete our meta again this past week with 52 LESSONS! What a blessing and honor. It's work but I know with the Lord all is possible. I love my mission so much and I just want to say thank you to all of you who helped me to get here. I will never be able to thank you enough. I am so happy and my heart is so so so full and I hope you all know that I am grateful to be a servant of our Lord and represantative de our Salvador y Redentor Jesucristo. Yo testifico que este iglesia es la iglesia verdadera y that we truly do have a living prophet to guide us in these days and I know that God loves us and that is why we have a prophet and have the book of mormon and have this chance and time to know for ourselves if we just do our part and ask God if all of this is true. I have a testimony of this church and the gospel and know that it is TRUE. I have no doubt, I am thankful beyond BELIEF for my covenants I have made through baptism and in the temple...awhh listening to Mormon Tabernacle while writing this ....makes me emotional........but awh...I cant say it enough how much this gospel means to me. I want to stand before God and Jesus Christ and be able to say that I tried my very best to serve Him and represent HIM and do my part. That yes, I am imperfect but I repented and tried my best to help HIS children come unto HIM and know of this true gospel. I still have struggles and challenges and affliction but, I couldn't be happier in the work of my dear God. I know HE loves me and loves you and that we are here in this day to prepare to meet him. I know we lived with Him in the pre existence and that we are here to gain a body and follow HIS son JESUS CHRIST.

 Never lose the faith, pray to our Father in heaven, read the Book of Mormon, go to church to renew your divine sacred covenants and to remember our Savior and be obedient and I promise you I TESTIFY as a representative of Jesus Christ you will find peace joy and happiness. The Lord is my light and I refuse to stop this great dvine work...it is everything and we ALL can do something. SO EXCITED FOR CONFERENCE TO listen to our Prophet and leaders..its like early Christmas! 

I invite you all to invite and bring a friend to watch conference we all have a part to help people know this light that we have. I love you all so much, and thank you for your help that allows me to be here!  Have a wonderful week!

Con mucho amor

It's a privilege!

Dear Family and Friends:                                                 September 15, 2014

I am so happy to be writing to you again.  I can’t believe how fast a week goes by!  It seems like just yesterday.  Even though I have been out for several months now, I still feel pretty new to the mission.  I am enjoying every day but the time does go by so fast!

I love my mission with all my heart!

This week was good.  We had exchanges and I was able to work with Hermana Tellez and I learned a lot from her. In our area Hermana Cuc and I have been falling short of meeting our goal for teaching lessons.  But we prayed and we ended up teaching 12 lessons in one day. We talked about our companionship and I’m sure I will be working much harder with Hermana Cuc with the help of my Heavenly Father.  I am so happy that we were able to meet our goal.

We also saw a miracle this week.  We met a lady who we feel is the most prepared person we have met!  Her name is Guillermina and before we met her, she was attending another ward with her boyfriend when we received the referral from the ward and we visited her this week.  During the first lesson we talked about baptism and then we invited her to follow Jesus Christ and she said “yes, yes, yes!” She said that was her desire, but that she needed to marry her boyfriend.  He is an less-active member of the church and they live together, and they’re attending his brother’s ward. He is encouraging her and aware they need to be married.  We talked to our ward and they are helping us to get them married this week!

Also, we have a baptism of Yael’s mother, her name is Maira and she is very excited! She has good friends in the ward, and we gave lessons at some of the members homes so that she could get to know them.  Also, Brother Yael bore his testimony at Sacrament Meeting and some of his friends had come to the meeting with him.  He spoke of how happy he is being at church and that he wants to prepare himself to serve a mission. He is only 12 years old but it touched my heart to hear him say that.

To serve a mission is something I wanted to do but I felt it would be a great sacrifice.  But, now I don’t’ feel it is a sacrifice at all but a privilege!  I believe it is a privilege for everyone!  What a great blessing it is to be here and to learn and change so much!  I’m not the same person I was before my mission.  I feel I am being perfected in Christ.  I invite everyone, my self included to come unto him and we will all be happy!  I still have much work to do and I know it will take a lifetime! My goal is to continue to focus on my Savior and I know I will see miracles! 

My greatest wish is to never leave my mission and just do the work everyday.  That is what is most important and what brings the most happiness in this life.  Each day I can leave the natural man and become a better person a better daughter and a better missionary. 

It's Mexican Independence Day!

I am so grateful for the love and guidance of  my Mission President and his wife, President and Sister Egbert.  They have changed my life for the better.  I know that my Heavenly Father loves me because he sent me to this mission! 

I hope and pray you all have a wonderful week! 

Love, Hermana Guerrero 

I am growing!

Hermana Guerrero has been sending me her weekly letters to her mission president in spanish lately and I have been having my mother (who speaks spanish) translate them into english.  I hope that we are able to appropriately convey Hermana's experiences to each of you.  I think it is obvious that Hermana Guerrero's experiences as a missionary are truly shaping her into an even more beautiful daughter of God.  She has truly touched my heart as I have read her letters. I hope that you are being touched as you read them as well.



Dear Friends and Family,

I had a great week here in Venta Prieta!  I'm enjoying my mission more and more every day!
This week went very well, but very different.  We got a new District Leader named Elder Vique and he has helped me so much already!  I had told him that I wanted to give 40 lessons in a week, which I wondered if it was possible. I had never set that goal for myself before.  I'd like to share with you a wonderful experience I had this week.

I've been praying for my testimony to grow because I want to know that I am continually progressing.  So, we went out to teach a couple that we found and the man wanted to hear our message, but his wife was not interested at all.  So, we taught the man and we were very respectful to his wife as well.  It was the first time I taught the First Vision and I felt the Spirit very strong.  But, after I finished the lady began to preach to us and to tell us that the church was not the true church and that hopefully someday we could go to her church and hear her prophet.  At that very moment I had a firm witness inside that people may say whatever they may about the gospel and Joseph Smith and Thomas S. Monson and the Book of Mormon to disprove it,  but it does not destroy my testimony of what I know is true!  And I still feel a great love for her.  It was a very good experience for me.  I still gave the first lesson and was corrected by my companion, and I felt so embarrassed and began to cry.  I know I will still make mistakes on my mission, but I am happy anyway so, I'm okay.

I know the Lord is mindful of me and is helping me in ways I would have never imagined.  We have a lot of hope for the people here in this area, and I am happy and hopeful and will continue to do the will of my Heavenly Father so that he can mold me into what he wants me to be.

 Once we give our will over to him, he then has clay to work with.  I want to be what he wants me to be.  I just love this work! And I'm so very happy!  Have a wonderful week!

Love,
Hermana Guerrero

We eat like this pretty much daily!  I am blessed!

I'm becoming more and more mexican!!

With God all things are possible!

What a week!!  I don’t even know where to begin because so much happened this past week!  

First of all, we had our first baptism in Venta Prienta and it was beautiful!  I am so thankful that the Elders and members helped me that day because it was a crazy day!  I could see all of the opposition, that was trying to stand in our way, but we saw many miracles, and Heavenly Father blessed us to do His will for His Son and for our investigator Yael.

At first Yael’s mother did not want him to be baptized, but her heart was softened and now she wants to be baptized as well!  The members of our Ward are helping us and it is great!  I know my companion was so ecstatic as well, because it was an exciting day and it was beautiful!

This past week the AP’s (assistants to the president) invited us to try and teach 50 lessons and I am so pleased to say that we did it!  We did it with the help of Heavenly Father and the members along with a lot of hard work!  It was so neat to see!  Actually on the last day we still had 8 lessons left to teach and we had the baptism to worry about and I was so focused on that that in my mind I was thinking, well, we might not be able to meet that goal, but at least we have this baptism for Yael which is more important.  But during my prayer I felt, “we can do this with Heavenly Father’s help” and I feel that all of our problems reguarding that day were all blessings to help us accomplish what we needed to do!  I can’t find the words to express how happy we are!  

I am so humbled and filled with gratitude.  

I am so very happy here and trying to do better and better everyday.  I feel that at this time I am growing more and more each and every day.  And I am trying to get into a routine as a companionship so that things will run smoothly. I love it!

As far as the language goes, I am trying to be more humble with my spanish.  I know I am not perfect, but everytime I recieve corrections I know I need to listen because it is all part of my progression as a missionary.

But, after this week, I feel like we can do anything with the Lord’s help!  So, I am ready to continue to work hard and to grow more and more.  

Thank you for your love and support for me!  I love my mission!  Have a great week!

Love, 

Hermana Guerrero
