Hola all!

This week was the primary program at church or when all of the little children sing and give little testimonies of their small belief. And it was so adorable! You could feel the simple and innocent testimony of all of the children with their sweet little songs and spirits! And we also had a baptism on Sunday of a nine year old and she is so sweet, and was constantly giving us hugs throughout the week!

This week truly testified to me the power of a childs love for the Lord. It helped me more fully understand how “children are alive in Christ” (The Book of Mormon, Moroni 8:12) and how I can strive every day to be more loving my adoration for the Gospel.

It was an amazing miracle filled week with a lot of love and life in the work!

Hola all!

This week was just so cool! There are always so many miracles from the Lord big and small me and my companion are able to witness!

It is a mission goal to have two baptisms this month and we were at nothing when we went into church yesterday. But then this recent convert in the ward was saying how his daughter wants to get baptised this week but she needs the lessons! It is just so amazing how, when you have faith and hope to see what the Lord can do!

I was feeling a little bit rough though this week and a bit discouraged. But my amazing companion showed me a scripture passage I just love found in Romans 8:38-39 which reads:

¨For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.¨

It just helped me remember the Love the Lord has for all of us through whatever storm we face. It is never as hard as we think because we are never truly alone. We have someone who cares for us beyond comprehension. We have a loving Father in Heaven who sent us a loving Savior. I know that the Lords love is real and I testify with all of my heart the power that is held when we reach out to Him in prayer.

Always such great weeks here! This area is simple just full of miracles!

Okay so this week we were able to have this awesome conference with the entire mission in Pachuca and we learned about new goals to try and aim for and it was just so fun to learn together and also meet everyone in the mission!

We were also able to teach the miracle of Natalia and her father within the week. We could not find her house for the appointment so we were unable to teach her for Monday. But Wednesday came and she texted us saying how she had felt very sad in the morning but had decided to pray and her first thought after her prayer was to text us! It was her first moment of personal revelation and we were able to teach a lesson with such a strong spirit.

In D&C 10:58, it reads,

I am the light which shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not.

I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ can light up your life and bring a peace that is unlike any other and hard for me to describe. I promise the Lords love is real and everlasting. Their is such love and joy in this church and it is so amazing and beautiful to me.

Hello all!

This week was so amazing. There was just such a beautiful peace during sacrament meeting yesterday. We met this girl a few weeks back, but she was with a rough crowd and we were not able to fully talk with her. But yesterday, we ran into her across the street from the church and we invited her to church and she came. She said she was walking around, looking for a church to go to. It was such a strong example of true miracles that I am able to see on the mission. During sacrament meeting, she connected so much to one of the testimonies she started to cry and then she invited her Dad to second hour and he came too! It was literally just so amazing and such a miracle! I felt the Spirit so strongly. But I think just the combination of her being able to feel the Spirit, us finding her, and also all of our other four baptisms being able to get confirmed and receive the Holy Ghost yesterday just brought me such an strong spirit of peace and love. It was so beautiful, I cannot put it into words fully.

But this week in total, and my first 6 weeks in the field have just been amazing. I just love the people, my area, my companion and just everything so so much!

Hola!

With 3 baptisms and General Conference, I have just learned so much this week! Their is such peace in the Gospel and an indescribable feeling of joy I held in my heart watching our investigators get baptized.

And from General Conference, I think that the main concept I got from all of the talks was how much The Lord loves us. I forget when, but at one point the song Sweet is the Shepherd was sung by the choir and I particularly love these lyrics:

Out in the desert they wander, hungry and helpless and cold. Off to the rescue he hastens, bringing them back to the fold.

I love love love this opportunity to serve these people, and I have learned so much here about the true and real love The Lord has for us all- like sending us a Savior, to guide and understand us in this life. He will always search for us when we wander, always root for us to return to Him, and always carry a love for us that is impossible to comprehend.

Hola all 🙂

Such a fun and crazy week!

We had intercambios on Thursday– it was so fun! I went to Tecamac 1 with Hna. Rodriguez. She leaves this next cycle, so a week from today she goes home to El Salvador. But she was so nice, and I was able to teach with her the 10 commandments which I have yet to do and it was so fun! Because we taught it to a 9 year old girl, Suri, who was baptised last week. And it was so adorable because she had her scriptures all out and we were teaching her little hand trick things to help her memorize them, and she was marking them so sincerely in her scriptures and she was so young but had such excitement for the Gospel and for the words of The Lord. The intercambios really helped me recognize and remember how we are all children and God and we can all have that same excitement and innocent love for The Lord.

I had my first baptism on Saturday and it was just the greatest! It was a 15 year old named Isabel and afterwards she was saying how she wanted to go back in and be baptised again and again! It was such a cool feeling, and even greater to think that her parents want to be baptised too this Saturday! It is such a beautiful thing to bring people to the joy that you have. And the gospel fills me with joy.

I love being here and helping people recognize and gain the peace of the Gospel in their life. I love serving and the people here are all so kind and open hearted. I love The Lord and I love this work.

Wow, this week has been amazing! Okay so, this week felt like a year- so much has happened, so many miracles!

So for the Mission Pachuca, our Mission President has a goal for all missionaries to receive at least 2 baptisms and 4 people to go to the temple within the months of July, August and September. I just got here like first week of September and it has been a struggle to try and find 6 ready people. But this week was amazing because we were finally able to find Victoria and Isabel who truly feel the Spirit and want to be baptised! And the ward was so helpful this past Sunday with finding people who have never been to the temple before. And it was just amazing.

We had some downs, with getting our bikes stolen and Hermana Diaz getting sick and at the beginning of the week everything just seemed grim. But there is such hope and light with the Gospel and it was amazing to see The Lord working so many miracles for us. Like finding people ready for the Gospel and President Kimball finding us new bikes! It is just amazing!

Everything has reminded me of the scripture in Psalms 27:1

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

I am so in love with the kind hearts of the people here and the hope I have for the future for these people because The Lord brings such strength and such peace that is, for me, unable to be said fully in words. But I love Him and have witnessed his mighty works in just three weeks so I cannot even imagine what these next 16 months can hold.

Hola everyone!

I cannot even contain how much love I have for the people here and the area! I love Mexico so much and everything has been so fun! I dont know why but I just have felt such such joy this week and love for The Lord.

I am in Tecamac, with my amazing companion Hermana Diaz. She is so helpful with me learning Spanish and such a great missionary example to me! Our area is huge, and it is a new location for both of us but these past two weeks we have been just getting to know the different locations and meeting the members and everything.

One of our areas, Tenninitula, was having a fair this week and it was so fun because we were able to meet and contact so many people and they were so kind and gave us food for free that they were selling at the fair and it was just so much fun! And then Mexico Independence Day is this Friday, so we have been able to help people decorate their houses for it!

Most of the time, I dont know the words that people are saying, but I have faith that as I keep trying and working towards understanding more and more each day- I will eventually get it. And the gift of tongues is real as the Lord is helping me to remember things I would not normally think of to say.

I am reminded of a great scripture found in Doctrine and Covenants 84:82 which reads, “For consider the lillies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin…”

And to me it just feels me with peace that The Lord will provide for me in times when I am weak- I have felt that before and know it is a continual promise.

Hola!

I finally made it to Pachuca! I absolutely love it!

I am in Tecamac, Ojo de Agua with my companion Hermana Diaz! It is so cool here, our area is huge and there are many to teach- it is so exciting!

A cool experience was finding a man named Rafael and he went to church with us and we invited him to get baptized to which he said yes, but before that he said gracias for finding him! But it isnt really us who find him, it is all inspired by The Lord which I think has been the greatest thing to learn.

The members and the ward are all so inviting, kind, and helpful! I love this work and I love this place.

I am so grateful to have the Gospel in my life and the ability to share it with others!

Oh my gosh! It has been another amazing week here at the MTC. I love love love it so much! I will miss all of the devotionals and different talks so so much! I will miss my teachers and district and my companion a lot! I am, of course, excited to finally head out to Pachuca though!

It will be nerve racking I think for the first little bit, but I think once I get the hang of how things work and everything it will get easier. But I am nervous/excited to head to Pachuca! I leave on Monday at 5AM which is a little bit early for my taste but I think itll be so awesome once I get there!

A really quick thought before I have to go, we had an amazing Tuesday night devotional and I felt the Spirit so strongly! It was all about how the Lord can bring such comfort and peace to any person. It reminds me of the times in my life where I was able to rely on Christ for strength and peace in times when I did not think it was possible. You are always able to call upon The Lord, our Heavenly Father, for that strength and peace you desire when think it is not possible to have.

I love the Lord and feel his strength and guidance with me each day that I live. I love this gospel and know that it is true. I love my Lord and know that He loves us all too. I am so excited to serve the people of Pachuca and head there on Monday!
