This is my last P-day at the CCM!!!!!
How crazy is that??? I am so excited to get to Las Vegas this Wednesday!
5 whole days left!!!!
My companion and I lost
Foosball last week! But we enthusiastically cheered everyone on at the
Foosball World Cup Finals!!! Presidente Torres and his son ended up
winning it all! It was so much fun to get together as a zone and have a
great time!!
We took our last District 6D picture on Monday. We
chose ´Merica as our color scheme. We are so patriotic, it is
ridiculous! When the presidency sends the picture to me, I will forward
it to y´all!
I invited our investigator Luis to get baptized!!!
In Spanish!!! My heart was racing and even though it is not real, it was
an amazing experience for me!!! I am seriously so excited to invite
REAL people to follow the example of Christ and be baptized by someone
who possess the priesthood authority of God!!!
I learned the
importance and power of prayer this week. My companion was struggling,
and I wasn´t sure what to do for her. I felt the spirit prompt me to
offer a prayer on her behalf. As we knelt down to pray the Holy Ghost
filled my mind with words that would help her! I felt so close to not
only the Holy Ghost at that moment but also to my Heavenly Father! He
knows us, and He helps us, even with the little things in our lives!!!
This week I participated in a "hot sauce off"
against Elder Chambers. We "tied" but you all know, I am the spicy food
queen. Poor elder was sweating bullets before we even started so we
stuck a deal that if he finished we would call it a tie! Fun stuff!!!
Alma 34 is my favorite Book of Mormon chapter of the
week! We learn about the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ,
repentance, humility, and patience through afflictions (41)! I love the
Book of Mormon! I feel so much love and appreciation for all the words
that I get to read! I especially love reading about the amazing
missionary work that so many of the prophets in the Book of Mormon did
among the people! Inspiring!
This week I had an interview with the Branch
President. I want to share what I learned from him, because I feel like
it might help someone who is reading this. He told me that Satan wants
you to feel unworthy, he wants you to feel hopeless, he wants you to be
miserable, and he does not want you to share the gospel. Satan cannot
force us to listen to his awful words, he cannot force us to feel
unworthy, it is OUR choice! You have a loving and merciful Father in
Heaven! You have a loving Savior, who knows you, and who as provided the
opportunity for you to be forgiven, and when you sincerely repent,
Heavenly Father remembers them no more! Pray every day so you can
conquer Satan! He is so NOT worth your happiness!
"Speak with power and authority. Go out there and ASTONISH somebody" -Holland Devotional
"Don´t
lose the blessings the Lord can give your companionship because you´re
not one in purpose. Work with the Lord as a companion!!¨" -Elder Reyes
(Area 70 devotional)
I encourage yáll to read Alma 34, pray about it, and
find out how the Atonement can be applied to your life every single
day!!! Also, this Sunday is Fast Sunday! I hope you will prepare
yourselves! I excited for the opporunity to fast! We got to teach the
law of the fast to one of our other investigators this week, so the law
of the fast is something that I have really come to love!!!!!!
I love you all!!!! Choose the right, I will write you from Las Vegas next week!!! Ahhh! So excited!
