Sister Macey Gates // Week Sixty-Two // "FELIZ AND NUEVO!!"

BUENOO!! Guys It was so awesome to talk to you, Im sorry i wasn't very lively, i was so sick haha but i'm slowly getting better! This christmas I really understood how important our Savior is to us. I love him so much, and am so so grateful for everything he did for me. I've realized the times that i really don't feel good that i don't have to worry, cause my savior already took care of it for me and all i have to do is be patient and hope for the best and keep on predicando el evangelio. I LOVE THIS WORK!!!! It the biggest pleasure for me to be able to share my testimony to people everyday, especially my companion. She is still questioning her testimony but its been amazing talking to her and helping her realize that she really does have a testimony. I don't think i've EVER met anyone like this girl, but she is doing good and i'm so proud of her! This week we didn't have much proceliting opportunidades but the ones that we did have were short, but great! Juan and Elizabeth showed up at church with the HUGEST smilies on their faces and were given the spirit. It was amazing:) Gloria has been having a little harder time gaining a stronger testimony, but this week changed. She ALWAYS has questions and concerns, but this week she didn't have any. I know that because she stayed faithful, was baptized and received the spirit things have been making so much more sense to her. I love love love this work!!!!! We honestly are still on the lookout for more people to teach. Thats what we are focusing on this week, but we know we will find these people! For christmas we had an activity with some of our mission, we had a little devotional and got our packages, and then that night we got together as a zone and played soccer, i had the time of my life!!!!! Then on christmas we skyped with you guys:) And then we had nothing to do.... we started stressing out about it haha cause we always are doing something. So we called the missionaries in our zone and got together to play soccer again. This week i learned about the power of choice. Every single day, hour, & second we have the opportunity to follow christ or not. That is hard, so hard, but we have the opportunity to feel the spirit every day to help us and to guide us. But we have to work for it. We have to live worthily, and go to church to partake of the sacrament to have the promise that the spirit will be with us every week. And with the guidance and counsel of the spirit, we have the choice to accept our everyday problems, our challenges, whether big or small and use Christ to get through them or not and suffer.  Its a battle everyday to follow christ, to do as he did, but i know that if we just but try, we can overcome anything. All the Lord asks is that we do our best. I know our Savior loves every single one of us more than we can imagine!!! Don't ever forget that!!

Love you guys!!:)
