Jesus Christ is always there

 Hi everyone!!! I hope you are all doing really awesome. 

This week was a pretty good week. We started out by having zone divisiones. I went to an area called Lo de Coy with one of the district leaders. It was an awesome time and we did some very good work. 

 




The next big thing this week was our lesson with Alex! We went with him and his girlfriend Saturday. Taught about the plan of salvation and then invited him to be baptized. And he accepted a date for the 20th of May!! We also need to plan a wedding though and marry them first... but that's easy haha. We asked how his reading of the Book of Mormón has gone and he started to tear up and tell how us how much peace and joy he gets from reading the Book of Mormon. A testimony to all of us that the Book of Mormon is true and that we can receive blessings by reading it. 

I don't remember where I found it but I wrote on a sticky note one day that says, "You will never be alone unless you choose to be." It’s so simple but so powerful and so true. Jesus Christ is ALWAYS THERE. No matter what. We are never alone, unless we choose to be. We choose to be with him by reading the scriptures, praying, and living the doctrine of Christ. I know that he loves every single one of you guys and that he wants the best for you. 

I hope you all have a wonderful week!! I love you all

Oh and for p day today we went paint-balling!!!!! That was soooo fun. I did get hit in the head tho a few times haha.

Big Changes

  Hey everyone!!   So this week we had transfers and I got moved to a super cool area called San Lucas Toliman. It's on the famous Lake Atitlan and surrounded by volcanoes. It is soooo pretty here!! I don't have a ton of pictures but I will take more this week don't worry. My companion is Elder Perez from Mexico and I am starting his training!!! I'm so excited and there's tons of work to do here.  The missionaries before us really didn't leave us anything to work with so we are starting from 0... but with a little bit of hard work and some time we will see miracles!!  This week in my studies I came across a verse from Doctrine and Covenants section 50:44 "44 Wherefore, I am in your midst, and I am the good shepherd, and the stone of Israel. He that buildeth upon this rock shall never fall." I love that it has two different names of Christ and that it gives us a promise. If we build upon his rock, we will never fall!!  Such a big blessing.  Happy new ye...

Baptism!

  Hey everyone!!! So, I probably won’t send very long emails until the last week... but these last two weeks have been awesome!   Last Sunday we had 11 people come to church, which is the biggest number I have ever had or seen!! SUCH A BIG MIRACLE for me.  On Saturday we were able to baptize Abigail, which was also another miracle story. After, she texted us and told us how grateful she was and that she will never forget us and hopes we never forget her. I love being a missionary.  This coming week we already have super big days planned with a lot of new potential people and I am so excited and am trying to finish strong! Last Tuesday we went to the temple. That was one of the best, most spiritual experiences on my mission.    I don't have much time left but just trying to finish strong!!   I have been putting "be happy" at the end of my emails for a little while now because I truly believe that being happy is a choice. Obviously we will have sad days ...

Time is Running Out

Heyyyy everyone I hope you are all doing good!!  I didn't send an email last week sorry about that. But these last two weeks have been super good!! We have seen the Lord's hand and his timing in everything.  We were walking up a street trying to talk to everyone and then this mom and son stopped us and offered us some empanadas. My companion bought one and then we talked to them about the church! We had a visit with them a little bit after and they told us they NEVER walk down that one street but for whatever reason decided to walk down it. So that's cool. We are really hoping we can help them come to church.  We got a referral from the bishop’s wife. Her name is Abigail. Somehow Abigail was talking to the missionaries 2 years ago but never had time to go to church. And then somehow found the bishop’s wife's number. She has come the last 2 Sundays and is super ready. She told us she had already received her answer about the Book of Mormón and the church. So cool.  He...
