Semana Treinta y Siete

He pensado en la manera que podemos venir mas cerca de Dios, a nuestro Padre Celestial y Su hijo Jesucristo.  He pensado mucho en la manera en que Ellos me ayudan en cada momento en vida.  Por ejemplo, ahora en mi misión.  Estoy teniendo un poquito de problemas con mi salud, y tenía en mi mente que yo tenía que ir a mi casa.  Para que pueda cuidarme, y mejorarme.  Pero, primero, hable con el Presidente de la misión para expresar todas las cosas que están pasando en mi mente.  Mis pensamientos, Sentimientos, Dolores de mi panza, y que tenía que hacer.
Creo que el Presidente escuchó al Espíritu por saber que el tuviera que decirme.  Me ayudó un montón! Y ahora siento mucho mejor, con todo!  Estamos ahora haciendo las cosas aquí para mejorar mi salud, y no siento que me tenga que ir a mi casa. :)

Estoy tan agradecida por el ejemplo y el poder del Espíritu en mi vida.  Sé que Dios está ayudándome en este momento, ser fuerte y seguir este camino de Él XD

"For the Son of man is come to seek 
and to save that which was lost"
Luke 19:10

I read this Scripture the other day and it made me really happy.  Have you ever thought that the Jesus has come to find everyone that is lost. Jesus loves us enough to search for everyone that is lost.  
I am a representative of Jesus Christ.  I am helping Him find the people that are lost.  I am here in Argentina looking for the people that need my help, but most importantly, that need the help of the Lord.  I know that this is the Chruch of Jesus Christ and that He is looking for every lost souls.  He wants and hopes that everyone will come unto Him.  Come unto Him and be saved.

Invitar a las personas a venir a Cristo, al ayudarlas a que reciben el Evangelio Restaurado, por medio de Fe en Jesucristo y Su Expiación, el Arrepentimiento, el Bautismo, la Recepción del Don del Espíritu Santo, y el Perseverar Hasta el Fin. 

Invite Others to come unto Christ, by helping them recieve the Restored Gospel, through Faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, Repentance, Baptism, Recieving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End.

That is my purpose here.  That is what I am doing everyday from 6:30-22:30.  My reasoning for going on a mission is help other find the Lord.  Find the Love that the Lord has for them.  Help them understand that He is waiting for them.  Waiting for them to ask for help.  Waiting for them to come back home.  Our Father in Heaven is not going to force anyone to live with Him again, no matter how much He hopes that everyone can return to live with Him.  He gave us the ability to choose for ourselves.  He gave us our lives, our Liberty and He isn´t going to take that away.
However, He is helping to find the right way.  And His way isn´t going to be easy.  The way of the Lord is hard, but it is the best and the only way to be truely happy.

The Lord loves us.  The Lord loves YOU!
The Lord wants to you to live with him again. And He wants to you be happy.  I know that He is helping you in everything that you do.  Love the Lord, because He loves you!

Semana Treinta y Cinco

Esta Semana, bueno, pienso que finalmente encontré mi misma en la misión.  Antes era un poco difícil ser quien soy porque estoy hablando en un otro idioma.  Hay muchas cosas que no sabía expresar, pero ahora, me siento mucho mejor con todo.  Siento que puedo mostrar quien soy a todas las personas aquí en Limay! Amo los miembros acá y las personas que estamos enseñando.  

Estoy tan agradecida por las cosas que tengo en mi vida, especialmente este tiempo estar en Argentina en mi misión para ayudar a las personas venir a Cristo.  Sé que esta iglesia puede bendecir a todas, porque es la Iglesia de Jesucristo.  La misma que Él estableció. 

Amo a mi Salvador, Jesucristo, y Le agradezco por Su ejemplo y Su Expiación.  Sé que por medio de Él, puedo hacer todo lo que quiero.

Espero que mi familia estén felices y que estén orando y viniendo mas cerca del Padre y Su hijo! XD

Semana Treinta y Quarto

Well wasn´t that a party this past weekend. :P I love the rain, but I never thought that we would recieve that much rain. The thing that is the most fun, is the fact that we are living on an island now. The streets that are above and below us are rivers. I think it´s pretty cool. I have some great photos now too! XD haha I am excited to be able to ask if we can help the people. I can see how being prepared is really important, even when you don´t think that anything will happen. But I hope that we will be able to do some service hours now. I would love to help the people here in a way physical as well as spiritually. :)

Pero todo bien.  No te preocupes.  Hermana Montero y yo, estamos tan felices y tan listas para salir de nuestra casa.  :P Dos días en la casa fueron tan difíciles! pero ahora estamos re listas para trabajar! XD WOOHOO Vamos! 

I love the Lord and I am grateful for the Gospel. I have a mini miracle for you today.

The other day I had a huge feeling that I should fast for my brother that is not active at all in the church. He had told me before that he is reading the Bible, but the Book of Mormon doesn´t give him intrest at all. I fasted for him, that he would be able to have the desire to read the Book of Mormon, so that he would be able to gain the testimony of this church and come closer to Christ. The next Monday, like a week ago, my parents told me that my brother told them that he wants to read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover. Without the recording, reading it to him. I am so excited for this, because I know it will bless his life. I love my brothers with all my heart and I want them to be able to feel the love of the Lord and the Spirit in their life.  I love the chance to be able to come closer to the Lord every day and help others do so also. I love the Lord and the power that He has to help His children come unto Him.

Y si, esa es mi historia po!
