Seriously so so sorry for not writing good emails these past two weeks. I know I'm killing my mother, but the last couple weeks have just been a bit rough, challenging and your poopy poop head just got a little discouraged and down. But SHE'S BACK AND READY TO FILL YOU IN ON ALL OF THE MIRACLES THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING.

So this week has been just an incredible week of goal setting, goal achieving, helping others, and finding amazing people. Seriously I know for a fact the blessings that come to those who wait. Patiently. haha!!!!

But really we just had such a crazy awesome week. Our mission president set some new standards of excellence for our mission to help us get back on track. With goals that we have been far from reaching and from plans to achieve them. Seriously he is such an inspired dude. We talked a lot about having trust in Christ. This hit me real hard as he asked us to ponder what the word trust is and why it's even important to have trust in our Savior Jesus Christ. These past couple weeks have been disappointing and I haven't been feeling too well with a lot of headaches and feeling super tired. But as my sweet and amazing Mission President talked to us about trusting more in our Savior I realized that really was something I had been lacking. I knew I had faith in Him. I knew He paid the price for my sins, but what I realized was that I didn't really trust that everything was going to be alright and that I could really achieve the things that the Lord has set me apart with.

I lacked trust....... As simple as that.

So as we got back from our conference I decided to fast and pray for trust in my Savior. For more faith to do His will and to put my trust in his healing power of the atonement. I prayed and fasted to recieve help for the people here I love so so much. And wow! let me just tell you all the blessings we received.

WE PUT A FECHA WITH LORETO(finally) AND SHE WILL GET BAPTIZED THE 17 OF DECEMBER AND SHE CHOSE IT AND SAID SHE WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED!

WE FOUND ANOTHER FAMMILY AND INVITED THEM TO BE BAPTIZED AND THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO PRAY AS A FAMILY AND CALL US TODAY:)

WE FOUND 2 MENOS ACTIVAS THAT HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR HELP!

AHHHHHHH CUAL QUIER BENDICION UP IN HERRRRRRR

Ahhh seriously we have seen so many blessings from fasting and praying for help. I feel more and more the power of the atonement and am better able to see the fruits of my labor for which I had been feeling so inadequate about.

Literally I am full of tears of gratitude for my loving Savior that really paid the price for my weaknesses sins, pains and everything so I could find comfort in his arms.

I am just so extremely humbled by the love and power of my Saviors loving sacrifice. He has built me up and comforted me in the hardest times I've ever had. I just know with all of my heart that this truly is the true and everlasting gospel that is on the earth. If anyone every doubts it I want to ask you to really ponder the many blessings that have come through living the gospel. I have just seen so many as I looked and prayed to see them. I know that the family can truly be together forever and that with the Saviors teachings we can truly be made whole and strong through Him.

I just am lleno with love and gratitude for this gospel in my life.

I hope you all are able to see the amazing blessing of the gospel in your own lives.

Have a great week all and look for all the amazing blessings you have recieved from our loving Heavenly Father. I know that there will be more than you can even count.

With a lot of love,
