HOLA MI AMORES!!! So i have been feeling so much better from monday. It took a few days to get over but its all good:) IM ALIVE! This week was really good. In district meeting we talked about "What do you have the faith to do?" I loved this so much because we are put in so many situations and it all comes down to our faith. Do we have the faith to reach out to people, to talk to people, to share the gospel and stand up for what you believe in, to do good in school, it goes for everything. What do we have the faith to do? I challenge you all to think about that and what you have the faith to do. I want to apologize for having hard feelings for my companion. I realize alot of what she has done hasnt been right, but ive been thinking alot about forgiveness. I realized this week that there was no reason to be mad or frustrated with her because Jesus has already felt that and has already paid the price for it. It comes down to what we can change and that is to forgive. There are only a few things that matter in life and if we hold grudges with people or just never forgive someone, we get no where in life. We can change that:) I think the two most important things in life are love and charity. Charity is the pure love of christ. Without charity(love) we are nothing. So whenever you get frustrated or mad at someone, let it go because you cant change it. All you can do to help the situation is forgive just like Jesus. He is the biggest example because he was spitten on, yelled at, all the above, and yet he stilled loved those people and forgave them. I love my Savior and we can get through anything through him. So Jesus didnt get baptized this sunday... its sad. He was sick and he is just really scared to. We decided to just let him go, we will stay in contact with him and he still wants to come to church and when he chooses to be baptized we will be there for him:) But there was a baptism last night in our ward and they asked me and Hma Nelson to give the first lesson in five minutes... in front of everyone... In spanish... it was so good tho! Hma nelson challenged me to memorize James 1:5 before in spanish right before we went in and state it in the lesson and i did it! I got alot of compliments for my spanish after and that made me feel really good. I got to play soccer this week kinda!! It was so fun. I played with my favorite family the Ramirez they are recent converts. I was definitely in a skirt and boots but that didnt stop me haha i loved it! I left my first harvest blessing in spanish this week and it was so cool. We ask people if we can pray with them and then ask if they would like to take the lessons. Hma nelson usually does it cause i know like 5 things to bless them with, but i asked if i could do it and it was so awesome. The spirit was so strong and is said words i didnt even know haha the gift of tongues is real. So we visit this guatemalen fam and the ladys name is isidra. Everytime we say something she just says "Es cierto" (its true) Its the funniest thing. I dont think she can really understand spanish that well. Every question like "Que tan importante a sido Dios en su vida?" "es cierto" "Leera este noche?" "Es cierto" hahahha it kills me!! We just walk around saying es cierto all the time cause thats all she says. " Puede hacer la oracion?" "Es cierto" ahahha okay im done. We totally had albertos this week. We found one and i was like we have to go there!!! And we ordered in spanish;) ohh yeahh. So Hma Nelson had to get a TB shot so we went to the clinic and we waited for like 1 1/2 hours. Of course we talked with everyone tho haha we found 3 new people to teach! One of them spoke english and spanish, but when that happens we just speak spanish to them cause it makes them feel comfortable. She thought it was the coolest thing that we could speak to her in spanish. She wants us to come and teach her family too so that is awesome! Thats what you get when you talk with everyone:) Its so amazing!! Everyone around us were like coming closer to hear our messages, it was cool. There are alot of people out there that need the gospel. I love missionary work so much!!!!!!!!!!!! Its the greatest hardest most frustrating most amazing thing ever. Gosh yall are missin out.
Entoces, Me amo mi familia y mi amigos mucho!! Que tengan buena semana!:)
This is Puna! she is a recent convert and is going on her mission on wed! She came out with us for the day cause she gets to go to the Mexico MTC so i told her all about it! I think i'm more excited than her haha she had no idea what was happening in the lesson but thats okay:) I feel her pain cause i've been there!
