Big Week!

Hey Fam,

Well this week went by so great, we saw so many miracles. There were so many moments when we thought it was all going to go bad but the Lord definitly helped us. Seeing the Chamorro Family and The Herrera Family get baptised was so awesome.

As we started this week things were pretty stressful. One of the families we were teaching started to have a lot of problems in their job and other things. We were really worried about them because they were getting ready to get baptised this weekend. But we ended up taking a lot of members with us to visit them and we had some really great experiences. Also the other family who we married almost didnt get married because they showed up late. Wow that was stressful because we had their baptism planned for saturday and they got married on Thursday. I know this problems may not sound like that big of a deal but when you are on the mission and you are teaching really great people Satan really works hard on them. Almosy always the week before their baptism their are little tests uf faith. I realized its The Lord just pushing us to see how much we will trust in Him. The best part of this week was that we did just that, trusted in Him and everything came out so great. 

The best part about the story of this two families is that three weeks ago things werent going really well in the area, nobody was progressing like we were hoping for. My comp and I left an appointment kind of bummed out but we just said a prayer together and we felt a little better. I told my comp that in three weeks we are going to be in a baptism service dressed in whited and it was going to be great. After three long weeks of work it actually came to pass, we were so pumped. The baptism service was so packed, even our Mission President came and he told us it went great. I love how The Lord works in our lives, it truly has been a blessings seeing his hands work in the lives of so many being including mine :)

Today we started a new cycle which is so crazy. I am still with my same comp which is really awesome, we are excited for this new cycle. 

I love you all tons and I hope you all have a great week!! 

Love,

Big Things!

Hey Fam,

Another good week in the mission full of blessings and learning moments.

We are teaching a couple really great families right now. We have one family that this past week really started to progress so much. On Thursday we are going to marry them and we hope they get baptised this Saturday. My comp and I have been working really hard this past month, we are having some of the best results in the whole entire mission. A lot of people ask us what we are doing and its so funny because the answer is always the same, just do everything the Lord tells you to do. The funny thing is that they are usually things that are really small so most the missionaries just end up not doing them and then they just end up not having succes. I love when Pres. Uchtdorf said the Gospel isn't hard because its not hard when we just trust in the Lord and do is will.

The greatest thing that I have learned on the mission is that what I want has never been better than what the Lord wants for me. Its been really great to pray and ask to understand His will for me because Im always left with so much peace. 

Keep working hard, trust in the Lord, and enjoy your week. The Gopsel is true, I love you all so much!!

Love,

Baptism Samantha

Hey Fam,

Well another great week down here in the mission. We saw some really great blessings and also had some really great days.

This past week we were really working hard with the Ward. The members are so great here, super fun to work with. We have a good amount of people that are listening to the lessons and going to church. Sometimes its kind of rough to find time to visit them all week but the Ward has been helping us a bunch. On sunday Samantha got baptised!!! It was so awesome the service, her whole family went which was super great. It was also her birthday the day before so after they bought her cake and made her a huge dinner. She was so happy and so were we.

Honestly I feel bad because sometimes my letters are really short. but just know I really love the work and everyday miracles happen and sometimes they are just really hard to type out. I know that the Lord is working beside us everyday because accepting the Him and His gospel is the only true way to have joy in this life D&c 101:36. Its truly amazing to see peoples lives change by doing somethings so simple like praying, reading the scriptures, and attending church.  

I know that the Lord loves everysingle one of His children and that this Gospel truly blesses the family. If you doubt it then pray aboput it because that is one of the only ways you can come to know for yourself. I love you all so much and I am so grateful for every single one of you :)

Love,
