Week 62

Hola mi familia y mis amigos!!!! This week was so busy!! It was awesome! We had our mission Tour, and then we had  the missionary leadership Council meeting, and then we had Train the Trainers, and Stake Conference!! It has been a crazy and inspirational weeek!! One of the talks that hit me really hard was Sister Giffords at the Mission Tour. She said that "Zion is mentioned in the scriptures 1462 times, And Let Zion in her beauty rise (our mission song) isn't talking about a place but a state of being.One definition of Zion is the pure in heart. And she talked about how Faith and patience work together to help us to be pure in heart! She especially talked about the 3rd verse to our mission song, which says.....

3. That glorious rest will then commence

Which prophets did foretell,

When Saints will reign with Christ on earth,

And in his presence dwell

A thousand years, oh, glorious day!

Dear Lord, prepare my heart

To stand with thee on Zion’s mount

And nevermore to part.

I loved when she highlighted the line that says Dear Lord prepare my heart!! My prayer is that my mission truly will continue to jump start that process of preparing my heart!! I know that that preparation doesn't happen all at once, but it is step by step, and day by day, that the lord makes our hearts pure. I have seen so many miracles with our investigators and seeing their hearts change and become pure. And i know that I am Heavenly Fathers investigator, and i pray that I am truly changing and becoming who he wants me to be.

    A good example of the lord preparing someones heart is our investigator Eric. He has taken the lessons with missionaries for 2 years, and it started little by little at the beginning he wouldn't even sit down for the lessons when the missionaries came. And now he has been oming to church for 6 months straight and he is in Helaman in the Book of mormon, and he even has a Calling! And this week on Tuesday we extended a baptisimal date and the spirit was so strong!! And he said yes, I know that that spirit was so strong because his heart had been prepared! And he is now going to be baptized and his cute family is going to be made complete!! IT WAS A SUPER EXCITING WEEK!! And then him and Our investigator Sharon came to Stake Conference!! Which was amazing, it was all about missionary work!! Also this week I hit my one month in the mission and that means I have 17 more months to go!! And my trainer hit 14 months!! She is getting OLD!!! Its crazy hahah!!! Well this week was great and we saw lots of miracles!!! I want to end with a scripture!!! Its.......

1 Chronicles 28:20 “Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou has finished all the work…”

I know that if we just open up our mouths and declare the gospel and DO IT!! That God will be with us until the work is done!! I love you all and I pray that you have an amazing week!! And I hope that you ponder your conversion, and that you make goals so that the lord can continue to prepare us all and make us pure in heart!! 

LES QUIERO!!!!
