Final Days

Hola! Wow time sure does fly, its Monday again! This week was crazy, but so fun and incredible. Is it weird to anyone else that i´m a missionary? Sometimes it still gets me! I love it though!

You should definitely hear about this experience we had yesterday. So I promised myself and have asked my Heavenly Father with a lot of faith my whole mission that I would go home with a baptism the night before I end my mission. We are going to have that, but not the night before. Our investigator Juan Jose wants to do it sooner! I called him yesterday to see if we could visit him later that night and he said yes. I knew we were running out of time and we hadn´t put a fecha with him, but on the phone i simply asked him if he would think and pray about his baptismal date for the 20th of sept. before we got to his house that night. He said with anticipation in his voice, ¨My baptism? Really?? Que Alegre!!!!!!!!!¨He was so excited and all I did was, more tell him thats when he was getting baptized than really asking him, but he said yes!!!! We went that night and confirmed everything and he even wants to do it one day sooner so his family can be there, they can only do it on Monday. So thats how we put a fecha this week, everything is good to go. We will have a Noche de Hogar en la case de un miembro tonight, and we think he might marry this lady in our ward, so its kind of like we have a family. But we will continue to look for more families that can enjoy the blessings of the gospel!

We also had an incredible training meeting this week in the capital. I got to go on divisions with the nurse and i left my daughter in another area for two days! It was intense. But I learned so much and I am so grateful for continuing revelation. Our mission president is truly inspired! This gospel is amazing.


I just want to say a big THANK YOU!!! I can't believe what awesome family and friends I have been blessed with. My mission has been the greatest blessing of my life and you all have helped it be so much better! These last 18 months have been such a ride, but something that I wouldn't trade the world for!!! I will miss Guatemala so much, My heart really will be staying here but I will be excited for what the future brings for me, more blessings that my Heavenly Father has planned for my life. We truly are so blessed to be living in this time, with the fulness of the gospel on the earth. Heavenly Father's plan is so perfect!! We are all part of it and I know that through obedience to God's commandments we are blessed. Yo se que esta es la iglesia verdadera. Tengo un gran testimonio de la Restauracion de la iglesia de Jesucristo. Se con todo my corazon que Jose Smith fue llamado como profeta para restaurar esta iglesia. Fue tan necesario que tuvieramos una restauracion de estas cosas, porque si no, hubieramos perecido, todos nosotros. Estoy muy agradecida con mi Padre Celestial por haber enviado a su hijo Jesucristo para pagar por nuestros pecados. Testifico del amor de Nuestro Padre Celestial. El es un Dios de milagros. Se que Jesucristo vive y El es nuestro Salvador!!!!!!! Espero que esten bien, nos vemos pronto!!!!

Con amor,
