Week 40

 This week I'm gonna hit 9 months!!

It's crazy that I'm already half way done! I've been so blessed to meet the people I've met and to have seen everything I've experienced! My mission to me is evidence of how much God loves us!! He really knows what he's doing and we should trust him with everything we've got!

Zone conference! My first zone conference with responsibilities haha. We had to give a little presentation for our zone and it was kinda nerve wracking but fun! I'm still learning how to help the missionaries feel excited to go out and work! But it really all comes down to why we are out here on missions. Why we chose to serve. And why we choose everyday for the next 1.5 or 2 years to get up and want to serve. The reason we are here is for love. Because Jesus loved us enough that he gave his life so that we can learn, grow, experience sadness and happiness, but not only that. He gave his live so we can learn to choose, learn to choose Him. And the whole point of being here is to return to live with our Heavenly Father. But return changed for the better. We are here on the earth to be tested. Now is the time to prepare to live in the presence of God. Time goes by quickly, but how we spend our short amount of time here determines how we will spend eternity in the next life. I think it's worth it to leave some insignificant worldly things behind to be able to live with God and our family in everlasting joy. I am so grateful for the life and example of our older brother Jesus Christ. We are so blessed to have the Bible and the Book of Mormon to learn more about Him and His role as our Savior. And every day is a new day to choose Him! I invite you all today, find a way to better choose Jesus. And like the prophet says, if you do that you will have more joy in this life and have the strength and the heavenly power to help you. I know that God is our loving heavenly father and he gave us his son so that one day we can come back to our Heavenly home, spotless with indescribable joy. I love my Savior and I am eternally grateful for him. May we be his instruments here on the earth. 

I love you and God does too!!

 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 ...
