Hola my dear family! 

Karen got baptized this week!! She is golden. And this is her story: we found her through a referral of the Hermana Alvarez who is probably one of the greatest people I have met here in my mission and her family also. Anyways Karen, her dad is less active for a lot of time and her mom is not a member. We have been visiting with her this last month and she has been golden from the start. She just needed the mission talks and invited to baptism. And something more her whole family came to the baptism. Her cousins and everyone live in a different stake and almost all are members. It was so neat to see them all supporting karen. And then on Sunday was her confirmation and her mom and dad and sister came and they stayed the whole 3 hours! And Karen was so happy that they stayed and her mom is really interested and asked a lot of questions and really liked church! yes! 

Love you all!

My dear dear family,

This week went really well! We had 3 baptisms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am going to tell you the story of Jonathan. I believe this was all the way back in January, but near my house is a laundry mat of sorts and we passed by one day and decided to talk to the young man that was working there. We only got to see him twice because he only worked there for 4 days. We had taught him how to pray and gave him a Book of Mormon. But I always wonder what happens with these people we teach and then they disappear for some reason or another. Well this last Sunday, not yesterday but one week ago, I saw this young kid in our ward and I was like I know who that is, but why do I know him? Well it was Jonathan!! The elders had been teaching him, but it turns out Jonathan lives in my area so we finished teaching him and he was baptized this last Saturday! Woohoo!!! He is a really good kid. But this experience was so cool! I was glad he was found again. The other 2 are brother and sister and it has been a miracle to see them progress. Marian always wanted to be baptized, but her little brother not so much. But he told us this last week that he wanted to be baptized with his sister. I am glad the Lord touched his heart. Oh and my companion is taller than most other people...like me. She is really nice. I gave my first talk yesterday in my ward - wow after speaking spanish solo for 10 minutes straight my brain was really tired. I think it went well. 

I love you all so much!!!! Enjoy you week and remember that God loves you!! Always and forever.

Sweet

My dear family!!! 

Well we had a pretty neat experience this week my companion and I. We visited one of our investigators that I have not seen since a long time. Her sister was there too and the son of her sister is a member of the church. We gave the first lesson about the Restoration and explained the Book of Mormon and total. And the sister said that she did not know that we believe in the bible and the book of mormon. That they support one another. And she understood!!!! It always makes me happy when investigators understand. And she also gave the prayer at the end of the lesson and began to cry. It was a sweet experience. I believe they will progress quickly. 

Well that is all I have time for!!! I love you all so much!! 

Living Prophets

Hola Familia!

This week was good. We had one baptism of Monse. She is 11 years old and really shy, but really sweet and intelligent. Her mom has been a member for 12 years and is returning to the church. This week I am grateful for living prophets. They truly speak the words of Christ and guide us in every aspect of our lives. I know they are men called of God to guide us in these latter-days. Sorry it is really short. I do not have a lot of time to write.

Love you all family!!! so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With God All Things Are Possible

4/7/14

Well family, 

This week was good. I got a new companion and she is really awesome and kind. But on the first day she was with me guess what happened. I cut my finger bad enough to get stitches. Oops. We were in a lesson with a new investigator and she was really interested and liking our message and I went to tell about the first vision and reached for the pamphlet to show the picture of the first vision and I tipped the glass cup and it cut my pinkie. I think the glass broke in midair because I do not know how it broke. We went to a doctor and he checked my pinkie out and put 2 stitches in right there. Do not worry I was brave. And the doctor was really nice. He gave me the stitches for free! Tomorrow I am going to have them removed. 

The work is going on and I know with God all things are possible, but that does not mean that it is easy. But I know He will always help us. Oh and one of those ways is through general conference. That was beautiful for me this week. I love being a member of the only true church on the earth and what a blessing it is. I love you my dear family! 

Adios!

I Am Trying To Be Like Jesus

3/31/14

Family! 

I did have the opportunity to go to the women's conference and I was actually able to understand more! Not all of it, but more than at christmastime. Something I really liked was the focus on covenants and helping the youngins understand the meaning of this covenant. something simple that we can do is just remember Jesus Christ and the phrase I am trying to be like Jesus. I believe if we remember this more throughout the day we can find the strength and peace that we need. 

Oh and this week we had a reference from a member and we knocked on the door and Karen answered. She is 15 and her father is less active in the church. She is so excited about the Gospel and her dad is really happy that we are visiting with her. She really likes learning about the Gospel and she has a baptismal date for May 3rd and she came to church yesterday and really like it so we are really excited for her! The Lord is in the details. 

You are all the best and I love you tons!
