Week 5

Last week of the MTC! It's crazy how fast time is flying but I'm so excited to get to Chile and start meeting and talking to people! 

Something really cool an elder told our district last week is that the word Mormon means "love everlasting" so the book of Mormon is literally the book of God's everlasting love. 



This week I got to play lots of piano which was super healing. I swear God is blessing me with better piano playing because I have never been able to site read hymns this well. On Friday I ran 3 miles which was super fun and super painful at the same time because all I do is sit all day haha.
We played Frisbee gold with some of the elders from our district and it was actually so fun! The CCM has like a giant field/forest and a Frisbee gold course is set up through it and it was actually so much fun! It's so green here and there are so many mosquitos. 
 
Sunday was a really good day this week. We had an awesome relief society lesson about the importance of the Holy ghost and always doing the consistent work to have it with us. The Holy ghost is literally a member of the God head and if we choose to intentionally live our lives in a way that facilitates the Holy ghost, we can literally have a member of the God head with us to guide us, comfort us, and provide personal revelation.  Also if we continue to do the work to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, God will not only bless us with a meaningful, joyful life on this earth, but we can also live with god, Jesus Christ, and our families in the next life. 
Later Sunday night we had a devotional by Jeffery R Holland and he talked about becoming the best missionaries we can become for the next 18 months and for the rest if our lives. Just like Jesus asked Peter, do you love me? We need to ask ourselves 

Do we love him?

Because if we do we need to cast our nets aside and feed his sheep forever. Because Jesus Christ has given me everything I will be obedient and follow him forever. I love my Savior!!! 

Love you all! Till next week!

Week 58

 This week we had a zone conference and it was truly amazing. I realized that people want and need this Gospel. If they can understand what it means to be baptized, there won´t be a single person who wouldn´t want to be baptized. It just depends if they can truly understand the doctrine. Understand that when we are baptized, the door to return back to Godś presence opens. The only way to start to access Godś power is through baptism. If the people can understand that the first step to living with their families for the eternities is by being baptized, they wouldn't have to fear it.  This week we got to put this into practice. We taught our friend Absalon about the importance of baptism and how his eternal progression relies on being baptized by someone that has the authority of God. He was a little concerned at first because he said, If I were to be baptized again, that means that it would invalidate the baptism that I already have had and all that I have experienced up until ...

  This week was super eye opening. I learned so much about all aspects of life. First of all on Tuesday we left with Sister Trythall, the mission president’s wife. And it was so fun to see our area from a different perspective and to hear her testimony and feel her spirit. This week I felt super grateful for every little thing I’ve lived through. I’m super grateful for this time I have to be super focused in changing myself and helping others to change.  I also had some opportunities to have deep conversations this week with a few different people. The first one I had was with my companion. We talked about how sometimes we feel like we don’t feel the spirit as strongly or as drastic of a difference and the truth is that we are so connected spiritually that I realized it's normal. It's normal that people in the street feel the spirit strongly and they share the hard things they’ve gone through or what they’re going through right now after talking to them for 3 minutes. And that...

  My last week in Chile! The best week ever! This week I just soaked up everything! Every lesson, every street contact. especially Sunday. It was a super sweet and spiritual Sunday! I got to give my last testimony and wow it was hard for me, but I just felt so much love looking at all the people I love and have served with for so long. I am sad to leave but excited for the next part of my life!  Some highlights from this week! Ignacio got baptized and confirmed! The baptismal meeting was so spiritual and Ignacio shared his testimony at the end and he started crying! Afterward he said that the spirit was so strong during the whole entire baptismal service and it all exceeded his expectations! That is a lot coming from him because he is a very intelligent, calculated person, so the fact that the spirit was stronger and hit him harder than he thought was really special! Our friend Javiera saw us doing all the prep to get everything ready for Ignacios baptism and she asked us how ...
