Can you believe it's
already been a year and a half??? Where has the time gone?!? This week has been
a really challenging week because I love being a missionary and I love helping people
but I also know that I have to go home sometime!!
We had a lot of
fun events that happened this week that made my last couple days in PR special! On
Friday we had a combined zone conference with the Ponce and Mayaguez zones
and Hna. Josie and I had the chance to teach the two zones about how miracles occur. We shared the scripture in Ether 12:12 that says that God
cannot work miracles until we put forth the effort and exercise our Faith. It
was a great conference and I learned a lot from the other leaders from the
mission.
Saturday there
was a huge Agua Sero (rainstorm) which resulted in flooded streets. It felt like
I had to walk through a lake to get anywhere!! ( see picture below). Before my
mission I would not be caught dead saying this but I was really grateful for
crocks that day!!! Walking through knee-high water would not have been fun in
normal church shoes!!
Sunday was
a great day as well! One of our recent converts was given the priesthood last
week and this week was his first time passing the sacrament!!! It was soooo
cool and I was really proud of him!! We also had the baptism of Elinette after
church and I have seen a great change in her and I feel honored that I have
been able to help her make changes in her life that have allowed her to find
more happiness.
Well that was my
week this week and I wish that I could list all of the things that I have
learned since my mission but it would result in novel. I think the most
important thing that I have learned is that God really does have a plan for
each one of us. He loves us and He wants us to be happy. He gave us this gospel
as a way to help us to return to Him and He wants, more than anything, that we
have eternal happiness and that we follow this perfect plan that He created.
I'm so grateful for the chance that I was given to be a missionary in the San
Juan, Puerto Rico mission and I am really excited to apply everything that I
have learned here in my life at home.
I love you guys
and I will see you soon!!

Precious sister in Christ,GOD is for real and HE knows you and HE sees you and HE still loves you. now,if you love god and Truth,it is important you too come to know a well known documented and verified truth(even though,hypocrites try to deny it by telling silly tales);that is the book of Mormon is totally worthless(Never a Tribe of Israel went to the Americas to give birth to the Natives-the DNA test denies it-and far less the Lord JESUS. Truly,the so called original manuscript with the "Pearl of great price" were mere lists of obituaries written in the old language of Egypt,which Smith had purchased in a library and not discovered in a library,and the "apostles" in Salt Lake know it well;by the way,'cause Hyrum and Joseph were Freemasons,many rituals followed in the temples come from masonry). We have,already,a perfect testament,which you can find it in the GOSPEL(Galatians 1,6-9,Jude 3-4). May the Grace and the Love of our Heavenly Father find a warm welcome in your soul,so that his Holy Spirit can protect you from deception,sin and hell(Luke 12,1-12);until the day-if,you turn earnestly and with humility to our Lord JESUS to get his personal revelation with his forgiveness and holy freedom;and,so,to taste his fellowship with his peace and mercy-you too 'll enter the joy of Paradise. In God's Love and Truth
