Sept 7, 2015

This week I got to go back to my first area for a day.  And I saw my first convert!  Nadia who got baptized in January!  And it was such a miracle!This week there were so many miracles that happened!  Starting out, I got to go on an exchange super cool!  I got to go back to San Lorenzo for a day.  And 2 of my converts live in the area where I was doing changes so I got t see them.

Nadia got baptized in January, and when we first taught her she always had these little shorts on and had a hard time focusing and understanding sometimes.  And wow, to see her after just 6 months in the gospel.  She was dressed modestly, and just looked mormon.  And she listened to the lesson and added stuff in, undestnading everything.  Then she had to leave to go to seminary.  Later I saw her in the capilla with the young womens president and her spouse (who are a young fun couple ceiled in the temple) and she was laughing with the other young women, and just fit in perfectly (not the shyness that she had when I left).  Ah man.  It made me so happy to see her.

The other convert I could see is nelly, who is stuggling to be active.  and we had a lesson really spiritual with her, and she agreed to try again, to start going again.

It really is so interesting to see the difference between those that are faithful in the little things, and those that are not.  If you read the book of mormon, and pray everyday, going to church on Sunday, you will not get lost.  You will not fall off the path.  

Other miracles here in Villa Elisa.  REally, this week I was learning a lot about the will of the lord.  How we can have big dreams, or big desires, but really in the end, it is much better to do what the Lord wants.  This is no truer than in the mission, and with changes.  The Lord will give you what you need.  And how greatful I am for that I get what I need in the mission.

Well, I love you all, send me pics! I love seeing pictures!

Mom, I dont know when you are sending the next package (and really it doesnt matter) but more things to put in if there is space.

Sun in (its a thing for hair to make it lighter in the sun)

stickers

half socks  the kind that you wear with flats . .  mine are reaching the end of their rope . .  maybe like 7 or so pairs

shirts . . . this is something dumb, but sometimes I just get sick of my clothes.  But make sure that it is good in the heat and you can wear it without an undershirt.  Or the rayon type is good and cool

But I am doing really well.  I had a change with the hermana liders and we were talking and I realized thta really this has been a hard change in some ways. that I should be struggling a lot. That I have a comp that makes life hard.  But I also realized that really, after that 2nd week, I stopped feeling the weight.  I think that after 10 months i learned why i am here on the mish.  That it doesnt matter the comp the area anything.  I am here to d wht the lord wants me to do. All I have to do is do what i can, and trust him, and BE happy.  Really,that is all we have to do in our lives.  and how happy can we be when we just give up and consecrate ourselves to the Lord.  And when you know this, you really can have grear miracles happen.  Or relly, that I gave up, I took on the lords yoke because my load seemed to heavy to bear, and he took off my load.  I have been able to love people who are hard to love, but in the end, it wasnt hard.  with the Lrd, it is so easy.  

I think that this change may be the change that changed my mission.  I never thought I would say that, but really, this was the change that I really gave it all to the Lord.  And saw the miralce of him carrying me through my trails.

Anyway, love you!
