Week 58

HOLA HERMOSOS!!! COMO ESTAN???? My week was absolutely "Wicked". Sister Pelo is teaching me all sorts of London words!! Wicked being one of them, and also Posh, and Dodgy, and Cheers. We have an agreement that by the end of training, she will be fluent in Spanish and I will have a perfected British accent. Sadly i think that she will become fluent in Spanish, it is a lot more likely than me perfecting my accent! hahah, she keeps on laughing at me because no matter what language I speak I always try and speak Spanish! Its okay, it always makes things interesting!! This was an amazing week, mostly because we had a great week of work and serving others!! 

  I know that I truly am called to SERVE, And I am so thankful that we were able to help others this week. We had an amazing opportunity to help a lady named Sharron move. She is a nonmember that called the Lakewood elders and needed help to move, and she was moving into our area. So on Saturday we set up with the Elders Quorum and High Priests to come help her unload this U haul. The funny thing was that Sharron had to change the time, because they weren't going to be there until 1 and they were behind schedule. So we texted the Bishop to let the ward know that the time had changed, but what we didn't know is that he didn't have cell reception. So we showed up at 1 and realized that it was just us.... And so we started moving boxes while calling ward members, and we were so afraid that we would have to unload this Huge U haul by ourselves until like 8 pm. ajajajaja! But luckily, Heavenly Father was looking out for us and we got some reinforcements. But it was an amazing experience I am completely convinced that one of the best sights, is a group of members showing Christ like love to a complete stranger!! IT WAS AMAZING! And this cute lady was so completely thankful and amazed! We invited her to church and we are going to start teaching her!! One of my favorite quotes is that "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care!"

     Then on Saturday as well there was the Woman's Broadcast, and before the Relief Society as a stake did a service project for girls in Haiti! It was so amazing to help and see all of the members coming together, we also had a nonmember there and it was amazing that she could be a part of it all! Me and my companion truly love this area, and the members and nonmembers here! Everyone we have met is so amazing!! And i absolutely loved the General Woman's Broadcast, I loved the contrast of the 3 sisters who were Sad, Mad and Glad! I love the quote that the happiest people don't have the best of everything but they make the best of everything!! Life is what we make it, and a mission is what we make it! I loved all of the amazing talks on self worth and Divine nature. I truly do know that we are all daughters and sons of God, and that he loves us, we are always of worth to him! But our mortal responsibility is to strive to be WORTHY! It is a constant battle to put off the natural man, but i am so thankful for the Atonement and for the opportunity to recognize that In the Saviors eyes I had worth when he suffered for me in the Garden of Gethsemane, and now my job and all of our jobs, is to use that Atonement to become Worthy! I love this Gospel, I love my savior, and I am so thankful for the infinite love that Our Heavenly Father and Our Savior have for each one of us! 

I love you all so much, and i am thankful for your prayers and your examples and your love, PLEASE Prepare for Zone Conference, it is going to be absolutely amazing! And I know that when we are ready to learn the spirit will tell us exactly what we need to hear! So I want to invite all of you to prayerfully think about and write down three questions that you need answered this General Conference, i promise that If you are ready the answers will come! I am having a blast, and all is well in ZIon!! LES QUIERO Con todo mi corazon!! 

CON AMOR, Hermana Tamales!!☔󾓩
