Baptisms and Changes

Pues, hay cambios...

Mi hija ya terminó su entrenamiento y se fue. I love this work so much and I know that the Lord is leading it. My companion and I were going to close our area but President showed up to have interviews with and got to participate in our baptisms. He decided to keep El Mirador open, but Hermana Gándara still left the area. My new companion is Hermana Maldonado from Ecuador. She is super sweet and awesome. She has 5 months in the mission and makes me feel old (: Guatemala is beautiful and I know I knew in Heaven that if I made the right choices I would come here and find those who I promised there to help them come unto Christ. I know miracles exist. I love this beautiful place and amazing work.

con amor,

1 Year in the mission

Buenas!
I love being a missionary and can't believe that I have a year in the mission. It doesn't feel real. This week was super awesome. We got permission to baptize 3 patojos this Saturday and we are super excited. It will be the first baptisms for my hija in her mission. We burned my skirt for 1 year. We also went to Patzicia for zone conference. I loved being back in my beloved Patzi. We are really happy here in Sololá.

Read 1 Nephi 20:10 (: Our challenges are for a reason. Por sacrificios hay mayor bendiciones. Nada es por gusto!

Les amo!

1 año en la misión (casí)

Hola todos!

This week was calidad. We saw miracles as well as trials of faith. I know we have been sent here together in Sololá for a reason and it's okay if we are only here to plant the seeds and not harvest. I know there are people being prepared every day and that the Lord has a plan for His people here in Sololá.

Well, I love being a missionary and missionary work. "The missionary opportunity of a lifetime is yours. The blessings of eternity await you." I have loved every minute of this past year as a missionary, but I have learned that every member is a missionary and has a testimony to share. I know my Savior lives and loves me. I have gotten to know Him a little bit better and understand more about His Atonement. I know His Atonement is real and personal. I know families can be eternal and it is one of the greatest gifts our loving Heavenly Father can give us. I know the Book of Mormon is Another Testament of Jesus Christ that helps us come closer to Christ when we read it with the Bible. I know miracles exist and they are all around us. Just look for them and when you find them write them down to remember.

I love you all and hope you all have an awesome week!
