15 November 2016 - Leadership Counsel
15 November 2016
This last week was full of lots of ups and downs but also some great miracles. Sometimes the mission though gives you a hard blow or 2.. which sure happened but we just have to get back up and keep walking. And by doing that we have seen some great miracles. This Sunday we had 2 new investigators go to church!!! Who-hoo!!! That was a miracle. And we are going to keep giving them follow up to see what happens but we hope that they will be able to get baptized this month. And we are working hard in our area... there are so many people that need this message here in the Gomera but it has been a little hard to find them in the last few weeks but in the last few days we have been finding some really positive people that with help they will start to progress more and more. Here in the Gomera it is really really hot... which has been fun... but actually it could be a lot worse. I love the mission with all my heart and I love this time to serve the Lord. Really cannot think of anything else to write... sorry that my mind has been so here and there in the last few weeks but when it comes to the hour to write I always forget everything. Sorry!!!
Les amo mucho!!!

This week was a good week. We had changes... I am still here in La Gomera but I have a new companion. Hermana Pineda. She is from Mexico like Hermana Ruiz. We only have 1 day together but things are going great here. It was sad saying good bye to Hermana Ruiz knowing that I do not know when I will see her again. She has been one of the best companions I have had and I learned so much from her. She changed my mission in so many ways. Really going to miss being able to see her. But fun things... well since Hermana Ruiz was going to finish her mission we had permission to go and visit one of her areas... Well she choose to go visit Petapa (my first area and the area in which we were companions before). And so on Monday we got up super early and traveled 3 hours in a buses to get to Petapa and then spent the whole day visiting members and converts. It really was quite the experience. Some of them knew that we were coming before hand but we passed by to surprise a few of them. It was really funny to see their faces of surprise. One of the greatest joys that I had was that we surprised my first convert in the mission Juan Jose. And when he opened the door he just let out a big gasp and was so so so happy. And to know that he is still going to church made me super happy. Really it was a great day. Also yesterday in changes I was able to see Hermana Traveller (my companion from the CCM) again after about 9 months of not seeing each other and she now is a hermana leader too so I am going to be able to see her a little more this change. Crazy all the things that are happening here in the mission... but I am so so happy and we are working hard here in our area. We hope that in a few weeks we will be having baptisms and maybe a wedding... but every day we are trying to put our trust in the Lord and work to help His children know the truth. Hope that all is great with you guys!
Les amo mucho!

Well time keeps flying by way to fast. Can not believe that another week has come and gone already. This is the last week of the change... which also means it is Hermana Ruiz´s last week in the mission... how crazy... this change has flown by in the blink of an eye. And well on Tuesday I will be recieving a new companion here in the Gomera... crazy...
But I am loving the mission and trying to enjoy every second as it flies by. This week we had interviews with President. I love having interviews and being able to sit down and talk with Presidente Markham. And I had the chance to get to know Hermana Markham a little better too. Really they are amazing. They were divinely called to direct this mission and to help us to be better. Talking with President just helps me to be able to be a little more focused on the work and what I can do to be better. And in these interviews it helped me to be able to focus a little more in how I can help the Hermanas too. And then we had divisions after interviews which were good. Always learn something new every time we do divisions. And well yay... then we were back in the area together and hit the ground running trying to do all that we needed too. We are seeing miracles little by little every day. The Lord is helping us little by little and every day I am trying to change and to be better. Don't really know what else to write... so yay....
Les amo mucho!

Buenas!
Well hope that all is super well with the Family. Things are going well here in Guatemala... just loving the mission and the work. This week was a little bit of a hard week. We felt very decieved by one of our investigators that was baptized last week. Before her baptism she had been living with a man that was married to someone else and did not want to be divorced. Well he cheated on her and she found out and he left her... but on Sunday night after her baptism they started their relationship again... and she did not tell us until Friday night that they had been living together again. And well for that she had broken the law of Chastity she was not able to be confirmed. And really it was sad because as we talked with her well she really did not have a desire to repent... And really it is sad to see how Satan tricks people into sinning. Really sad. And well on Friday I was just thinking a lot about the Atonement and how much Christ suffered for each of us... and I am always thinking about if I am making it so that sacrifice was in vain. We have to keep being better every single day and we have to make it so that Christ sacrifice is not in vain. He suffered so much and I am so thankful for that sacrifice because it makes it possible for us to be better too. But yeah last week we almost were not in our area but we made the little time that we had together count and we have been changing and being better every day.
Hope you all have a great week!
Love ya!

4 October 2016 - Time Keeps Flying By Super Fast
Wow this week just flew by again. Really life here in the mission is crazy. So much is happening. It was so great this week to be able to listen to gerneral conference. So crazy that it was my 3rd and last conference here in the mission. That blows my mind. But the messages were so inspired and amazing. I loved how much the talked about the Doctrine of Christ; faith, repentance, baptism, recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end. And about the Atonement and how we can have real lasting JOY in living the Gospel, repenting and doing the things that God wants us to do. It is somethings so fundamental but it makes all the difference in our lives. And this week we had 2 baptisms! Hermana Paula and Hermana Martita! Was a great experience to be able to teach them and help them in their conversion and to be able to watch them take this huge step of faith in their lives.
I have been learning more and more about my responsiblities as an Hermana Leader and today we had the chance to share a message in Zone Conference. It felt really strange to be a part of the teaching in that meeting but it was a good chance to be able to help the zone keep growing and being better. We are really trying to meet the vision that God has for us as a mission but we all need to be one the same page to be able to complete our goals. And they are really high goals but with the help of the Lord we can do all things. Really I love the mission so much. And I am so happy for this chance that I have to be here and to keep working. The time keeps flying by faster and faster. It is crazy. Hermana Ruiz only has 3 weeks left in her mission and it has made me reflect a lot in what I want and need to do in the 3 changes that I will have left in my mission. But really this Gospel is so amazing. I love being able to learn about it and to share it with everyone.
Hope you have a great week! God lives and loves you!
Les amo mucho!
