Week 41

  July 14, 2014

 

Friends & Family,

So this week was really crazy...

This week was the hardest week on my mission. All of our lessons and backups fell through.. and we had nothing to do. As those who know when all of those fall through its SO stressful! So we just tried everything that we could do! We did have one really good lesson with Elisa! She is the cutest, she is 20 years old and she wants to learn more and be baptized! So that was 1 good thing this week! :)

So Sunday rolled around and I got a call from my last area... before church and the missionaries there told me that someone in the bishopric died... I broke down in tears, bawled like a baby. I was there for 7 months and loved this man so much!! He always took care of me and EVERYONE else in the world. He was by far the NICEST, most kind, selfless person I know.. NO JOKE. His wife is not a member and she would not listen to any of the missionaries until me and Hermana Bennett went over there! She is an amazing women! I love her so much! My heart hurts for her and his family! He always asked me how Jaycob (my brother was doing) he followed all his games and printed out stats for me!!! I love him so much!!!!! I miss you so much!!! That is just a testimony that The Plan of Salvation is real! I read alma 40, where it talks ALL about the spirit World. It gave me so much comfort! I hope that his wife will one day soften her heart so that she can live with him again!!!! I love this church and this plan that He has for all of us!!! I love that families can be together forever because that is the only thing that would give me comfort!!

I FINISHED THE BOOK OF MORMON IN SPANISH!!!!! :) I JUST STARTED THE DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS :) WAHOOOO

There are these scriptures that Ii love so much!! I just wanted to share them with y'all!! It's in Helaman 5:12, it reads, "O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is NO OTHER WAY nor means whereby man can be saved, ONLY through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world." I love this scripture so much because it's so true. This is the only way that we can be saved. Through Christ and being a part of His church!!! I love the Book of Mormon! My testimony has grown so much about this book! It is the greatest book of all!! Whenever Ii am sad or homesick or mad, I pick this book up and read it!! It makes me feel so much better! This book is true and its real and I invite all of you guys to read it because IT WILL BLESS YOUR LIFE. I PROMISE!!!!

I hope you guys have a great week!!
