hoy es un dia especial


Family Home Evening with the recent converts :) 

Literally in the middle of no where.

My face: happy, exhausted and full of the joy of the gospel.

I know the book of mormon is true. 

HOLA! 

So today, I don't mean to be trunky, but I officially have 8 months in the mission! IT BLOWS MY MIND. I am not sure how I feel about it, happy, sad, overwhelmed or scared. Pretty much all of the above :) 

President came all the way to Guanacaste this week (a 5 hour drive) for a zone conference and then took us out to lunch! WE ACTUALLY ATE IN A RESTAURANT! It's been 9 months since I have done that! Pretty awesome. It's because our zone had the highest number of baptisms in the mission. ush! And the zone meeting was on receiving revelation and the importance of presenting a plan before the Lord in order to receive answers. It was super powerful. 

WE ARE WORKING WITH A COUPLE NAMED VALENTINA AND VICTOR AND THEY ARE AMAZING. Literally we go over 4 times a week to check in on them, and they are doing great. They came to church 2 times, and they are gonna get married on April 1 and get baptized!! They are not drinking coffee, and she is giving up smoking and getting professional help. it is seriously amazing to see how the Gospel is helping them change their lives and grow closer to God! We are super happy and I just hope I don't get transferred in a week.....

So everyone who has been on a mission KNOWS how tiring it is, and how hard it is, but also how wonderful it is!! On Tuesday I literally wrote down in my planner each miracle we saw, and at the end of the day, the page was full!! It was amazing. I love it here and I love the work I am doing. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. 

I know Joseph Smith saw God our father and His Son Jesus Christ. We have evidence that Joseph restored the Gospel with the Book of Mormon. It is the most true book on earth and I love reading it each day! 

Have a good week!! I will be here in 90 degree weather :)
