And it 'Twas a Happy Ending

Welp everyone this is the last one! As always I hope that everyone is alright and well and happy :)

This last week was a fast one, a sad one, and full of lasts.... I dont know what else to say about this week except that. Its not easy to say goodbye. These people have changed my life through their examples and through their amazing spirit and testimonies. 

I have learned and grown and changed. This is the true Church of Christ! How amazing and reassuring to know that our Savior who loves and atoned for our sins, Is the one to lead the Church! We have such a wonderful Prophet, Thomas S Monson, and he is truly inspired by God. There is no power more powerful than the Priesthood. It truly is the power of God and protects us daily. We are saved through the Ordinances that we are able to do through the Priesthood in the Temple. And last of all the Book of Mormon is word of God and the most correct Book on this earth. The little things matter and are most important in helping us grow and progress spiritually. Our Heavenly Father loves us and has a perfect plan. We must trust in Him and our lives will be happier. I share this short but sincere testimony with you in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

I love you all and will see you all soo soon! Thank you for all your love and support! The Prayers and love were very much felt through it all! See you all!

Les quiero mucho!

Theres a first for everything even at the end!

Hello Family and friends how has this past week been treatin you?? 

My week was a good one. We are still having a little bit of a dry spill in our area but hey there is always a bit of a dry before the rain right? 

Our investigator Yika actually is awesome! She is accepted a fecha!! She accepted to be baptized the 8th of october! WOOOHOOO! So maybe its not super dry! haha We will be visiting with her tomorrow with some members so I am way pumped! One because she accepted and 2 because a member said they would come!

Friday our volleyball nights are really becoming a success! Its been so great and we have just been seeing more animo en los miembros and everyone just seems a lot more interested in la obra misional! We even had consejo del barrio! It was the best! and actually really productive that it got our ward mission leader into gear and he had a meeting with us yesterday! We have plans to start helping the members for an hour every week to visit families that our less active and need support for just an hour! It should be a good one!

Yesterday I was able to bear my testimony for the last time here in the mision at a fast and testimony meeting and it was a really neat expercience.

I wanted to share one last thing with your guys to get you thinking for the week. Today we went to Chicá again and it was jsut gorgeous as always and well we actually did a legit hike. Once at the top we were able to take the time and have our personal and companionship studies. I was able to read the general conference address given by president Uchtdorf called "He Will Place You on His Shoulders and Carry You Home". I absolutely loved it. It talks about the way to repentance. That no one is really lost. There is always a way back. on part that struck my attention was when he says:
 "Because He loves you, He will find you. He will place you upon His shoulders, rejoicing. And when He brings you home, He will say to one and all, “Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.” He loves us and He will search for us always. We are the onces that must first turn to Him. accept his invitation and He will then lift us up and carry us home. This week think of those you love who may not have made the best choices and who may not at this moment be on the best path. They are not lost. Love them as our Savior loves them. Have Charity and extend you hand out to them. They will see the light and warmth eventually. We must first give them the option."
I love you all so much and hope that you have a great week! I will be seeing you all so soon! Make it a good one! Thank you all for the love support and Prayers!

Les quiero mucho!
