Week 71

 This week we just worked our tails off! I love that my companion, Hermana Hales, just loves to work! I realized I love talking to people in the street and getting to know them. Especially getting to testify to them that Jesus Christ lives!! This week we had my last zone conference, so I got to give my testimony and I just felt overwhelmed with God’s love. He loves us so much that he give us chances everyday to love him, choose him, and let other people choose him! I am so lucky that I know how to choose to follow Jesus Christ. We receive revelation by the prophets and apostles and we can receive revelation for our lives personally! I can’t wait to put into practice everything I’ve been learning! During the conference our President shared with us how important the lessons Jesus Christ taught in 3 Nephi are so important and we should always try to use the words of Jesus Christ himself when we teach. This week I’ve been studying these chapters and I realized that His teachings are so powerful! I invite you all to reread 3 Nephi when Jesus visits the Americas and all his teachings! We can apply all of them to our lives!

I felt like one word I could use to describe my experience here would be love. Learn to love Jesus, love other people, and figure out what that means. Because I love Jesus, I choose to follow Him commandments. Because I love Jesus, I choose to love and serve other people. I feel so grateful for all the love and support I have received here! The friendships I have made here are ones without description. It’s hard to describe the kind of relationships you can make between companions, ward members, mission leaders, and so much more. It’s hard to put it into words, but I am so grateful that I will get to work alongside amazing disciples of Jesus Christ for the next two weeks! 

I know that Jesus Christ lives! That his truth is on the earth and his only way is real! God loves us! He wants us to return to Him and bring all those that we can with us!

 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 ...
