Week 36 - Thankful for you all

Week 36 – Thankful for you all December 3, 2019 Ahhhhhhh my week was a great one!! Missionary work literally makes me so happy. So exhausted but oh boy so happy!!!! First of all HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Ahh this holiday is probably one of my most favorite holidays of the whole entire year! I absolutely LOVE IT!! There is so much to be thankful for and to have one day of the year to just be completely grateful for what we have been given is kind of sad because well, we should be thankful for everything all the time BUT I love that we really get to focus on it for a day. Honestly being on the mission during the holidays is actually something incredibly special. Especially when you dedicate everything you have to the One who has given you everything. Ive been thinking a lot about baptism, and the covenant we make when we are baptized. We promise to be an example of Jesus Christ in every situation that we come across. We have promised and some are going to get the chance to promise to God that we take upon us the name of Christ wherever we are. And as I was reading in 3 nephi 6 it talks about after Christ was born people began to forget about the signs of His birth and began to become very wicked. But in verse 14 (pg. 506 go read it!!) it mentions that all began to be very wicked, other than a few of the lamanites who have truly converted to la verdadera fe, the true faith.. something like that. It goes on to explain that they were firm, inquebrantables, inmutables, y estaban dispuestos a guarder los mandamientos del Señor con toda diligencia. That basically says that they were willing to follow the commandments diligently. They didn’t back down or lie or shy away when someone made fun of them or questioned them. They stayed strong because they knew what they believed in. I challenge all of you to grow your testimony to the point where you can say what the lamanites said. That’s our purpose on this earth. Is to grow our testimonies of God so that we can 1. Return and live with Him again. 2. So that we can help others around us also return and live with our Father in Heaven. Theres so much to be grateful for but honestly I am so grateful for this Gospel. Literally the Book of Mormon contains EVERYTHING we need. Study it daily and diligently. Pray to God. Get to know our Father in Heaven and you will come to know how truly important you are in this world, you will know your worth and the worth of all those around you. Ive never felt so much of Gods love in my life like I do right now and it’s not only because im on the mission but it’s because for the first time ive truly desired a relationship with Him. I have truly begged for His help and have truly seen the miracles that He has brought in my life. And to top it all off, ITS DECEMBER. CHRISTMAS THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST HAPPINESS, LIGHT, LOVE, TRUE JOY, AND CHRISTMAS LIGHTSSSSSSSSSSSS heheheh the owner of our house has helped us decorate and oof do I love Christmas time. But if you haven’t go and watch the light to world video of Jesus Christ! THE CHRIST CHILD. It is incredible and oof share it with everyone!!! This week was honestly a good week, we were able to see the light of Christ illuminate a home. A home that has been going through many hard times lately. The gospel truly does change lives. It changes the whole atmosphere around us when we truly accept it into our lives. I love what I get to be a part of and am so blessed that I have been given this opportunity. It truly is something I will never forget. I truly encourage all of you to find Christ in every situation. This life is to prove to Him that we love Him and are willing to follow Him, and what better way to prove to Him that by living the gospel of His son Jesus Christ. Mosiah 16:9 ILUMINA EL MUNDO UNO POR UNO!! I LITERALLY LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH KEEPING BEING AMAZING AND JUST LOVE GOD AND LOVE LIFE AND LOVE YOUR FAMILY AND SERVE EVERYONE WE ARE ALL GODS AND GODDESSES. HAVE AN AMAZING FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER!!!!!!
