Hello Friends and Family Alike!
Hope this email finds
you well and in a good state of mind. I hope you all know that I miss
you and I appreciate all of the emails that I receive every week. I feel
very loved and supported. Thank you for all of that and the prayers that
are send my way. I can feel them strengthening me every day.
This
week was a great week. My companion and I are getting along great, and
she is opening up a lot. We still have things to work on. But they are
more detailed missionary things like timing. Less personal things. So I'm
happy with that.
We had a beautiful baptism on Saturday.
Norma was baptized! She is 26 years old and from Bolivia. Her parents
are active members there and she wanted to learn more about the church
to follow their example. She started coming to church by herself, and
made the decision to be baptized by herself. She is very prepared. It
was a beautiful little service, and the feeling of love that was there
was amazing. I love being a part of this work and helping those who are
searching for something more, to find it. I am so grateful that families
are forever!
Also, I promise that everyone was happy this day, even if my companion and Norma are not smiling. They are not smiley people.
We
also had our last interviews with our Mission President before he
finished his mission the first week in July. So that was fun. I received
some advice to help relieve the back pain that I have been experiencing
again . (Prayers in this area would be very welcome.) And basically we
had a great week!
I love the mission. I love
all of you. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ. I
dont imagine, I cant imagine. What my life would be, not only right now,
but after, without my mission. I know that I am learning and growing
here in ways that are not only blessing me and my family right now. But
that will continue to help me to grow and bless my family and me for
the rest of my life. Not to mention the temporal and eternal
consequences that my mission is having on the lives of the people I have
come to love in Chile. I just want to end this email ssaying, who ever
you are. Whatever yor situation. If you are thinking about a mission. Do
it. Go for it. You will NEVER EVER regret it.
I love you all, I know that this church is true. I testify of that every day, in every way.
¡Ser mormón, ser feliz!
