01.16.17 - Changes!

Hello everyone!! 

 I hope all of you are doing splendidly. I'm doing wonderful! I´m loving my mission so much! I love the people, I love the food, I love the mountains we have to climb everyday. The literal ones, and the spiritual ones.  I am so grateful for this sacred time for me to learn, grow, and teach. Inviting others to come to Christ has been so incredible, because everyday we do it, my relationship with my Father in Heaven grows more and more. 
Changes! So last night, we got a phone call from our AP, and he let us know that we are having changes. I don´t know why, but I´m moving areas. I´m headed back up to Cuernavaca with some other missionaries. When I get more details, I let you all know why haha :) 

This last week was an awesome one! Lots of teaching, and lots of growing. We also discovered that my companion has low blood pressure, and bad circulation. So she needs to get some shots for it I guess... She´s been complaining of her arms and legs feeling tingly, so we called the doctor, she prescribed some medicine and we kept working.  I am so grateful for my companion and the example she is to me.  She didn´t ever want to stop working and just chill at the apartment, she kept working and we kept teaching.  

We had some incredible lessons this past week with some of our less actives. Wowza were they incredible.  The spirit was so strong during the lessons, and I know they could feel the spirit.  It´s incredible how the Spirit can teach so strongly through us. I know that  the less actives that we were teaching could feel the spirit, because it showed in their countenance.  

During these special lessons, I received personal revelation about the love that God has for each of us as his children. While we were teaching one woman in particular, my heart was filled with so much love for her and her little family.  I just wanted to wrap my arms around her and squeeze the love I was feeling for her into her heart.  The love that our Heavenly Father has for us is more than we can possibly imagine. He wants us to be happy, and he wants us to know that he is always there. I know that I can rely on my Heavenly Father, and I am so grateful for the love that he has for me.  

This past week we had interviews with our Presidente and zone leaders. Both went super well, and we all set goals to continue improving and bettering ourselves as missionaries.  During our interview with our zone leaders, they asked us to share our testimonies on the Atonement. And that was an incredible experience for me. I am so grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and that through him, I can live again, and be clean of my impurities. I know that He died for all of us, for all of our sins, and he experienced all of our pains and afflictions.  I know he knows us personally, and by name. He knows us, and he loves us so much. He died for us so that we can live again, and become like him.  

I am so grateful for my Savior and the love that he offers me.  My testimony continues to grow everyday of the love he has for us, and of his gospel. 

I love all of you and am so grateful for all of you!

Also, I would like to invite all of you to read 2 Nephi 4 :)

Here are some pictures :)

01.30.17 - Don't Forget to Pray

Hola de Mexico!  I hope you all are doing great :)  This past week was pretty awesome. We had a meeting with our Presidente and he shared some incredible things with us.  It was for my generation of missionaries, just to see how we're doing, and to give us some more advice on how we can be the best missionaries we can be.  I also got to play the piano for it, both were hymns I had never heard of before so that was an adventure. A very rough one at that. But the meeting was incredible. I learned so many things, and how to become an even better missionary.  My testimony of prayer continues to grow and grow more each day, and I know without a doubt that He hears us when we pray with our hearts.  I am so grateful for the love and comfort we can receive by offering our hearts to him.   My companion and I had some awesome, and super spiritual bonding moments this past week which is always the greatest thing ever.  I love her to pieces and I am so grateful for her.

2.20.17 - Come What May and Love It

Hello Everyone!  This past week was pretty awesome, as every week has been :) The mission is great and I love it so much here. This past week we had interviews with President Avila and his sweet wife. I love them so much. The interviews are always getting better because I understand Spanish more and more each time, and it's just awesome.  With Hermana Avila, she asked us to imagine ourselves as investigators and think about our progress (but as missionaries). How are you progressing? What changes have you made? How are you using the Atonement of Christ everyday in your life? How have you improved? As I thought about these questions, I thought about the past few months here in Mexico and my experiences as a missionary... I want to invite all of you to ask yourselves these questions, and think about your personal progression as a disciple of Jesus Christ.  I promise that the Spirit will testify to your heart as it did to mine.  I felt the love Heavenly Father has for me, and how h
