Hey! There have been a lot of changes going on here in
the mission recently and I´m super excited for all of them. First of
all, I have a new companion. And although I absolutely love Hermana
Sanchez who left me, I am super stoked to be with Hermana Pérez from
Peru. She only has 2 months in the mission but she is super awesome.
I´ve been so blessed with the companions I´ve had and I know that she
and I are gonna have tons of fun together.
Since we´re the nurses we have Pdays Saturdays and today
we also have a wedding. John and Gabriela are getting married tonight!!
It´s been a long time coming.. And then tomorrow Gabriela and our friend Jesús are getting baptized in the morning. I am so happy for this weekend. :)
As the nurses we work pretty closely with President
and his wife. I am continually amazed at their love and care for each
and every one of us. The missionaries of Ecuador Guayaquil West are in
good hands! Every day I talk to Hermana Dennis on the phone and I always
feel like I´m talking to Mom. She reminds me of you, Mom. She always
comes to the conferences when President is teaching us and she is always
given a bit of time to share something with us. I am amazed and
strengthened by her testimony of the restored gospel. I´m really
grateful to be able to serve with her.
I think that´s about all I have for now... But just
to mention something cool.. We were reading in Alma 36 the other day to
help someone understand about the principle of repentance. I don´t think
I´ve ever really read this chapter to understand it, but it is so
beautiful. Yáll should read Alma 36. He talks about how he was so
weighed down with his sins and a lot of people in the world are like
that---they don´t see any way out of their problems. But then he
remembered something that his father had taught him.. Even though he
hadn´t paid attention at the time, in this pivotal moment he finally
understood the significance of the Savior, of the Atonement. And through
his faith he was able to put all of the bad stuff behind him and move
forward--to be converted--to be a new person and to help others find the
same happiness. Hopefully we all can truly understand the significance
of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in our lives as well. It´s never too
late to make a change and take a stand for what we know. It´s never to
late to come unto Him.
I know that my Redeemer lives and he leads His
church today. I am so grateful for the guidance of His holy scriptures
and His chosen servants. This is the work of God. John 5:17
I love you all!!
