November 27th

This week passed so quickly because we had so many things to do! 

Monday was a great Pday! We did splits from Monday night to Tuesday night with the sisters from Ahú! I went to the other area and stayed with Sister Loeza! They are teaching an amazing woman who will be getting married soon and baptized the same day! It is amazing to see how much faith this woman has. I loved spending the day with Sister Loeza!

“We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day.” -Richard G. Scott

If we want to change our actions we must first change our desires and our thoughts. It is our goal to have complete unity with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They are always one in purpose and we must change ourselves to have their same purpose, desires, actions, attitude, thoughts, purity, etc. We can align our desires with Heavenly Father by doing simple things each day: Reading the scriptures, praying, fasting, temple attendance, daily repentance and always trying to receive more light and following this light. 

Thursday we did another split with the Sisters from Bom Retiro! I stayed in the area and I got to stay with my old companion SISTER HULME!!! It was amazing! We laughed so much and were able to think back on all the fun/amazing experiences we had together earlier this year! We did a contact with a guy on the street and later he called me to ask what he needed to do to be baptized! He was really excited to come to church on Sunday. I could see that he is truly searching for something in his life!

Friday we had one of the best lunches I have had in my mission! The members asked us what we wanted to eat and so she made Ribs and fruit salad! along with other delicious foods! Then we returned home to do weekly planning and then went to visit lots of our investigators! We were talking with Viviane and Francisco and mentioned that it was already 23rd of November and he said "ALREADY!? That means that our wedding is going to be soon! The day of joy is arriving!!!"

Saturday and Sunday were also pretty great days! On Sunday one of our investigators, Yasmin told us that she had prayed and she knew that the  things we are teaching her are true and that she wants to be baptized! She said that she felt so much peace and her heart started to race! This gospel really does bring so much joy and peace into our lives. 

#lighttheworld Jesus Christ is the light of the world! The church is doing a special campaign light the world again this year! December 1st- December 25th, there is a different act of service that we can do each day to serve others and be the light of the world! I invite you all to visit Mormon.org to watch a beautiful video and try to do these simple acts of service each day leading up the Christmas! #Sejaaluzdomundo

Love you all! Have a great week!
