Week 40: Miracles!

  July 7, 2014

Friends & Family,

Happy Late Fourth of July, I hope that you all had a wonderful, fun day!

So my recent convert in my last areas kids just got baptized last Saturday! I was not able to attend which I was very sad!!! But I am so PROUD of them!! They make me so happy! They are such a great example to me! :)

We still have this amazing investigator! He is finding a new job because he wants to come to church but he works every Sunday. He called us and told us that he already found a new job!! that DOESN'T WORK on a Sunday!! :) He has so much faith!

We were just driving one day and we found this house full of Hispanics, and there were more women in that house! So that was amazing. We taught them and are going back to teach them!! :)

This mission experience has taught me so much. One thing that I LOVE so much is how I learned that being exactly obedient is the key to  EVERYTHING. Before my mission I didn't understand why it was so important. When people say why can't you do this, or why can't you do that? As missionaries we have certain rules, you could chose to be disobedient or be obedient. BUT when you chose to be obedient you see so many miracles! I love being obedient, obviously I'm not perfect, but I try my hardest every day to be obedient and I know he will bless me!

One of my favorite things to teach is... The Plan of Salvation!!! I love talking about how we lived with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ before and we have the opportunity to go back and live with Him!!!! AND to live with our families forever. I miss my family so much. I love them so much. I really can't wait to hug them all again. Sometimes it's really hard to be away from them for this long... but then I think.. It's okay.. I have ETERNITY with them. What a wonderful blessing that we have this choice! I am so grateful for this in my life!

I love this gospel! I love all the blessing we receive from our Father in heaven! :)
