Hi Fam!! 

I do not have anytime to write you all. But thanks for your letters. It makes me so happy that you are all so well and enjoying the blessings of the Gospel!! They are awesome!! Some things that I learned this week really quick: God always puts us in the place that He needs us. There is always a reason for it. And part of humility is accepting the assignment and having faith that Christ will help you. He always knows better!

Also, cold bucket showers are way worse than cold normal showers because you have to deliberately pour the cold water on yourself!! haha makes me laugh!


Love you all tons!!

God Truly is Aware of Us

11/3/14

Wow!! sounds like halloween was a blast!!!  Well pueblo means really really small town that really does not have anything, stores, banks, nada and everyone is family and knows everyone else. I was in a pueblo but now I am in a grand city. So I am getting used to the city again.  I really enjoyed my first week here. Hermana Rocha and I were able to see a few miracles. One of them was with a woman that we contacted in the street. She was sitting on a rock staring at the ground and we stopped to talk to her. She told us that she was waiting for work because she did not have food for her kids and someone was supposed to come and pay her. She was really worried. We asked her where she lived and set up a time later that day to go see her. Before we went to see her again we stopped at the house of Irma who is a miracle in herself. Super awesome and loves the gospel. When we were about to leave her house Irma gave us a bunch of milk and granola and dried fruit so that we could have something to eat while we walked in the street. super nice. so we took the bag and I said to my companion, do you know where we are headed? to the house of this woman that we contacted her name is margarita. And what did we have in our hands? leche o milk and snacks. And I just thought how wonderful is the Lord. He truly is aware of us. Cada uno. So we found her house and she was not home but her kids were and we were able to give them this bag of leche and snacks. It was a small miracle and it just amazes me how the Lord works! He truly is wonderful. I love the Gospel!! It really changes lives for the better and I love people who are humble enough to accept there weaknesses and rely on the Lord. It is awesome!! They are all such great examples to me. It was a good week. Well I love you all tons!! I hope it is not getting too cold up there!! I cannot believe it is already november. It still feels like the middle of summer here. The sun is so strong! Well love you all!! Have a fabulous week!!

Rain, Rain...

Hello Family!!

 Wow this week was a little crazy. We had divisions and I left the area and hna borbor stayed and we had to prepare for 2 baptisms and hermana borbor was a little bit stressed out, but guess what! She did it! We had two baptism this week of our sweet little brother Alberto who is 9 years old and just golden. And it is a miracle that he could be baptized because his mom is super catholic but super awesome and told us if he wants to be baptized in the true church adalante. And my companion invited her to come to the baptism she said I want to make myself clear, I will go of course to support my son but I am catholic. great!! That is perfect. She is awesome. ANd Adela. Por fin!! She has listened to the missionaries for a long time and she is just great!! Golden! It was a great day. It also started raining on saturday and guess what! It is still raining. It has not stopped! So instead of being drenched in sweat we are drenched with water. A nice change after lots of months of sweating nonstop. 

And something that I am learning a lot here in the mission is that it is the will of the Lord that will bring about the most miracles and blessings, even if in the moment we cannot see them. But I encourage you all to always keep looking! 

I love you all sooo much!

Hi fam!!

Well this last week went well. We have some investigators that are progressing really well. One of them is Alberto. He is nine years old and makes me so happy!! I love meeting with him. He is just great! And so smart! We should all be just like those niños, so willing to learn and with such a grand desire to follow the Lord. 

Well, this week I complete ONE YEAR in the mission!! Can you believe it!!! wow it has been the hardest year of my life so far. But I have learned SO much and I would not trade this experience for any other. I have come to appreciate the gospel in such a way that i do not know how to describe it in words. Amazed! It is really such a grand opportunity to share this good news with people who do not know. And in Spanish?! who knew?! 

Well I just love you all so much!! Keep doing what is right because you know you should. And enjoy every moment!! See you in 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Promise

Holy cow family!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Well, this week was good. In fact I loved it! Conference was so good!! And guess who didn´t need the subtitles in english when those brethren spoke spanish....me! and karlie! The Lord is truly amazing! i still mess up a lot in Spanish, but I understand everything usually. The gift of tongues is real. 

Also, I am going to tell you a little bit more about what happens normally here in Chahuites. We study in the mornings and then we leave to work. And it is normally so hot! We are sweating the whole day. It makes me laugh that I can sweat so much. Everyday a sister from the branch invites us to eat at her house. We normally eat chicken. or more chicken but they change the way to eat it. sometimes in soup. sometimes in salsa. sometimes in mole ( which is a lot of chile and spices and has a distinct flavor almost like chocolate with apple sauce and some spicy stuff). My house is nice. The whole floor is tile. But it is like an oven in there ooooh so hot. I am in a small small small pueblo. Everyone is family and knows everyone else. But I am the tallest person here. And we walk all day looking for people to teach. And it is wonderful :) 

Well yes, something that I loved in conference was that we had investigators in almost all the sessions and what did our leaders talk about? The promise that the lord has given us if we want to know if the gospel is true or if the book of mormon is true or if joseph smith was a prophet then all we have to do is search and ask. What a miracle it is and how merciful is our Heavenly Father that He has told us if we want to know that truth about something all we have to do is ask! The promise is real my family!!! Do your part and the Lord will let you know. I have seen this promise a few times here in mexico and it is awesome! You can know too!! And the Lord will bless you. 

I love you all so much family!!! I hope everyone has a fantastic week and know that I love you all dearly!

How Great the Lord Is

9/29/14

Hola familia!!!!! 

So remember when I talked to you about Virgilio two weeks ago? I need to tell you the rest of the miracle. He did not come to church last sunday and we went to figure out why (now with my new companion) and it turns out that a member discouraged him that he could change. He was hurt really really bad that he shut himself in his house. And he told us if people like that were in the church that he did not want anything to do with it. But we stayed firm and tried to help him feel more calm and then we left. We came the next day and this time he was more calm but had decided that now he did not want to change. He knows the Gospel is true, but did not want to lose his social life. That was so hard! To know that someone knows that the gospel is true and say that they do not want to change because it will be hard. I could not believe it, I did not know how to feel! But I kept praying for him. And then arriving at church on sunday guess who was outside the church....Virgilio!!!! I almost cried and gave him a big hug, but I did not do it because I am a missionary. But I wanted to. He was nervous to enter because he did not want everyone to give him looks. But he entered. ANd then he left after the second meeting. I did not know what to think at this point. if he was going to go back to work in mexico or if what?? Then he sent us a message that said when he arrives in mexico city he will be baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still cannot believe it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How great the Lord is in softening the hearts of people so that they can receive this grand blessing of the Gospel. I just love it! 

I love you all so much! Also something that came to my mind this week, sometimes it is just good to say thank you. It can really brighten someones day! 

Love you all so much!
