Week 51

 This week we had a YSA activity and a ton of people came! I think the final head count was 32. It was awesome! I got to play some ping pong and play board games. Our friend Yostin came and he got to make a bunch of friends. This week Yostin shared with us that he's going through a pretty hard time right now. He's got a lot on his plate, but even through all of that he still is making time for God and keeps praying and reading. It's honestly a blessing to see how a person is struggling so much but the only hope and light they have is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's sad to see people in hard circumstances, but you really get to see how much the Gospel can change lives. When we go to visit Yostin we always try to make him laugh or put a smile on his face because honestly I think it's the only time he has to be happy and forget about his problems for a little bit. But I know the real solution is obviously Jesus Christ. I am so so grateful to be here. Today we went to la Ligua, it's a small town that still shows the old history of Chile and I just realized how lucky I am to be able to be here. I love getting to meet new people that have lived their entire live without crossing paths with the Gospel until the day that I choose to open my mouth and invite them. That gives me the drive to talk to everyone and help everyone! I love that we are all here on earth together away from God but learning and growing so much. And we get to work and support one another! I love it! 

This week we had a leaders conference and I learned so much about love. That we really need to do everything we do for love. Teach the people because we love them and we want to help them realize that God loves them. And love the other missionaries for who they are and what they're doing. It's really easy to compare yourself or compare other missionaries, but really we are all out here giving our all. And if someone is struggling, the last thing they need is chastisement, they need love. I feel so much love from my Misión President and obviously from Christ and I want to show other people this pure love. I am so grateful that I know my divine purpose here on the earth. Really I am, and you are a loved children of God. Let's treat each other like family and help each other along the way. I know that as we help each other our knowledge and perception of who we are will become clearer. The prophets have promised us that. How blessed we are to be guided by prophets. I know that they love us just like Christ does. They really do receive revelation that we need and blessings come as we follow their counsel.

Have a great week! 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 ...
