Hola!! This week has been great!! I want to start by saying Congratulations to Sam and Katie for there engagement!! I am so excited for both of you!!! And I am more excited that you are waiting for me to get home for the wedding!! hahaah!
This week we have been crazy busy and we have had a lot of amazing meetings!!
On Monday I did Hermana Farronays hair!! We did a caramel balayage and it turned out super cute. Then on Tuesday we had Zone Conference! And It was amazing!! The training's were all centered on Jesus Christ and Christmas. They asked us a question at Zone Conference that I wanted to ask each of you, they said "How are you going to show an increased love for the Savior?" Either this new year or this Christmas season!! And they shared the talk by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland called The First and greatest commandment! And he talks about Peters exchange with the resurrected Savior. And he poses the Question Peter Do you love me!! And then Elder Holland talks about how he feels like this would have been Jesus Christs response... “Then Peter, why are you here? Why are we back on this same shore, by these same nets, having this same conversation? Wasn’t it obvious then and isn’t it obvious now that if I want fish, I can get fish? What I need, Peter, are disciples—and I need them forever. I need someone to feed my sheep and save my lambs. I need someone to preach my gospel and defend my faith. I need someone who loves me, truly, truly loves me, and loves what our Father in Heaven has commissioned me to do. Ours is not a feeble message. It is not a fleeting task. It is not hapless; it is not hopeless; it is not to be consigned to the ash heap of history. It is the work of Almighty God, and it is to change the world. So, Peter, for the second and presumably the last time, I am asking you to leave all this and to go teach and testify, labor and serve loyally until the day in which they will do to you exactly what they did to me.”
I love how he says that What I need are disciples and I need them FOREVER!! I know that is so true. I know that My mission may have kick started my conversion process, and I also know that I am no where near done!! I still have a lot of service to give my Savior FOREVER!! We also got gifts from the Mission President and Sister Gifford. They gave us spiral Book of Mormon and Journals and the challenge to read the book of Mormon with the questions that Elder Nelson had.
Wednesday we had the chance to go to the temple!! It was the second time on my mission and maybe my last time as a full time missionary!! :( I love the spirit there and It was so amazing!!
Then on Friday we had the amazing chance to sit down and have hot chocolate and cookies with a General authority. He served in our mission, his name is Elder Jorg Klebingat. He gave us great advice on every aspect of missionary work!! My favorite thing that he said though was... When you take off the name tag the calling stays!! I know that is true!! I know that we are all called to be disciples of Jesus Christ FOREVER!! It was amazing to sit down with him and to hear his testimony!!
This week has just been great all around. The Gurrolas came to church again and are still really excited for Baptism and we had a miracle this Sunday, we had a non member family walk into church!! And we have an appointment with them on Wednesday!! I LOVE THE MISSION!!! ANd I am thankful for this Christmas Season and how it helps us focus on Christ!! I love you all so much!! Have a great week!!
Love hermana Tams🎅🎄
