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.
