Steps of Faith

                                                                                                                            January 6, 2014
Hola mi familia!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all so much for your letters! Wow, that is crazy that it is so cold there! Winter wasn´t that cold last year. I heard that New York got hit really hard with a snow/ice storm. It is crazy what is going on in the world. I am glad that you are all safe and sound and that you get a snow day! I hope you are drinking a lot of hot chocolate with marshmallows and eating soup! YUM!!! It is extremely hot here, and I actually like the cold way better than the heat. I am getting really tan and everyone thinks I am Latino!!! Yay! That's until they hear me speak. Then they know exactly where I am from. This week was amazing! Lets start with a funny moment. 

This week there was a giant bug in our house. I have no idea what it was because I have never seen in before in my life. But it is like a giant cricket spider. We tried to kill it and we thought it was dead, and then I went back to where it was to get something, and it wasn't there! I dont know where it went!!! It was huge!! Then last night we were planning and we heard a ton of screams from downstairs. The bug had returned! (I hope it was the same one and not another!) You have to hit it like 50 times to kill it, and so one of the sisters grabbed my running shoe, and killed it. Disgusting. now part of it is on the bottom of my running shoe.

So, this week Hector couldn't come to church because he had to work, but Valentina and José came to church!!! Valentina is going to be baptized this Saturday, the 11th!!!!  We will invite Hector to prepare for the 18th, and Josè is preparing for the 25th! Please keep them in your prayers! They are all so amazing and progressing wonderfully! Please pray for Nicolas, the grandson of José, because he doesn´t like going to Primary without his grandpa, and so José can never go to Priesthood. Also, Nicolas was bored on Sunday and almost made José miss Sacrament meeting. Please also pray for Valentina´s mom, Carlina. She needs to get baptized too! We weren´t able to visit Marcela this past week, but we will definitely visit her this week! I am excited to teach her again and help her. This week we found Jenny, who is Catholic but would like to learn more about the church. Please pray that she will have a strong desire to listen. We also found Emma, she was a reference from a member and she wants to come to church and pray and receive an answer, but she wasn´t able to attend on Sunday. We are still having trouble finding new people to teach, but on Sunday we had an companion exchange for an hour while our sister leader went with Hermana Amaya to meet Valentina. I was with Hermana Urteaga from Perú and we were talking to everyone for a really long time without success, and then we were knocking on a door, and the family came home while we were outside and after we talked to them about our message and how it helps the family, they let us in. We were able to help them feel the Spirit of this message and how it will bless their family and the mom said the closing prayer and started crying because she was so grateful. They need more peace in their family! I was so grateful to be an instrument in the Lord´s hands to teach them. I wish I could keep teaching them, but they live in the other area. That's okay, it was an amazing experience and a miracle I got to witness this week.
 
Today we had a zone activity, and can you guess what we did? We went to another tunnel!!!! haha I don´t know what it is with our zone leaders and tunnels but I loved the activity. We did a few activities while we were walking there, but my favorite was when we were inside of the tunnel almost entering the darkest part, our zone leader read a talk written by a general authority (leader of our church), in which he told about when he was called to be a general authority and he couldn´t see any way to accomplish everything he was called to do. I can´t remember the story exactly, but I think he spoke with the Prophet and told him how he was feeling. The prophet said that usually, we have to take the first few steps of faith into the darkness and then the light comes.
 
Our zone leader asked us to walk silently together through this tunnel until we reached the light and opening on the other side. As soon as we started walking, I saw the light on the other side and we were still kind of in the light so I thought, this isn´t going to work, we are never going to be in pitch blackness. But all of a sudden, I was surrounded by darkness. I could still see the light on the other side, but to get too it, I had to take the steps of faith into the darkness. I was with another sister and there were two elders far ahead. We saw them reach the light, but I was so afraid someone was inside the tunnel and was going to grab me haha. but I knew we would make it through because I could see that the elders in front of us had done it.
 
As I was thinking about the experience, I was relating it to my life. I haven´t had to make a ton of huge decisions yet, but one of the biggest decisions I had to make was whether or not to serve a mission. I chose to do so, without knowing what to expect. At first I was scared to death, I had no idea what it would be like to be a missionary, and I had never really shared the gospel with my friends before, nor was I very outgoing, but I knew it was what the Lord wanted me to do, and I love the Lord and our Heavenly Father, and so I took the first few steps of faith into the darkness. Well the light came really fast when I did this. I may not have known what to do at first, but the Lord taught me everyday, and He qualified me for the work. I have become an instrument in His hands and I have seen miracles and learned things that I would never have learned if I didn´t serve a mission. My mission changed my life forever, and I know that the Lord knows what is best for us. He knew that a mission was best for me, and although I followed His will blindly into the darkness, the light He had in store for me was and is, brighter than I ever imagined.
 
There are so many blessings from serving a mission. Besides the thousands of blessings that I have received personally, I get to help people feel the love of our Savior and Heavenly Father everyday, and that is the greatest blessing. I will always be grateful for my mission and for how the Lord has changed me through my service as a missionary. I still have a lot to learn, and little time to do so, but I know that the Lord lives, that He knows whats is best for us. I know that if we put our trust in Him and take the first few steps of faith, He will guide us through the darkness and we will reach the light, and the blessings will be greater than we can possibly imagine. I love you all! Thank you for your examples and for your love! I hope you have an amazing week!! I pray for you daily and love you dearly! Hasta luego!!!

The Best Year of My Life!!

                                                                                                                          Dec. 30, 2013
Hola mi familia maravillosa!! It was so wonderful to see all of you on Christmas! You all look amazing and I am so proud of you!!! I hope you are all enjoying your winter break! Please enjoy the snow for me!!

 On Christmas, after I finished skyping with all of you, we went to Concepción to celebrate with all of the missionaries! I played fútbol! The elders were surprised when we showed up with a team of sisters, but than we showed them that sisters can play too! I love fútbol, especially in Chile, but it was weird to play on Christmas in the heat outside. I also receive a lot of cards at this activity. I got all of the pictures from Nana, and the sweet letter! Congrats on their mission call!!!  I also received a card from the primary kids and youth, Sister Neuder, Sister Houghton, Sister Capener, and Sister Fisher! I love them all so much! Thank you all for thinking about me on Christmas and for being so thoughtful! This Christmas was amazing! I was able to celebrate the Savior and His life more than any other year because I was so focused in teaching His Gospel and this was the greatest present along with skyping with my family. The true gospel of Jesus Christ is a gift that we have every day! And it is absolutely the greatest gift ever! 
 
As we are preparing for the new year, I have been thinking a lot about the past year! This year has been the best year of my life! There were some trials and difficulties, but the Lord has strengthened me so much as I have been serving my mission. My mission has changed my life and I am so grateful that the Lord gave me this opportunity to serve and to share His true gospel. He continues to change me every day. This next year, I get to keep basking in the warmth of His gospel as I get to share it for the majority of this coming year.
 
My new years resolution is that I can be a better missionary every day with more dedication  and diligence in doing the Lord´s work and sharing with as many people as possible. Sometimes I let fear get in the way of talking to everyone, but not this year! I know if I am more diligent in using the Lord's time with wisdom, I will be able to serve Him and His children better. I only have this coming year to do so as a full time missionary, and so I need to take advantage of this sacred time. I am grateful that we can repent and change and become better every day with the help of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I know He lives, and that He loves us and that He suffered so that we can repent, and He will help us become better everyday! I will be better for Him and for our Heavenly Father. 

This week was harder to work as we lost two days of full work. We had a hard time entering in houses and finding new people to teach, but Hector and Valentina came to church on Sunday and are progressing towards their baptisms! Please pray for them as they prepared for the 11th of January. Carlos wasn´t able to come but we will visit him this week. Jose wasn´t able to come either, but we are still working with him. We will begin working with Marcela again this week. Please pray for her that the Spirit can help her stop smoking, and that she can gain a strong testimony. Please pray that we can find new people to teach. Thank you for all of your prayers! Sorry I ask you to pray for a lot, but I know that with more prayers there is more power. Heavenly Father acts according to the strength and power of our faith. He will do many miracles as we put our faith together!!! 

I love you all and I pray for you daily! Thank you for everything! What are your New Year's resolutions? I know you can achieve all of your New Year's resolutions!!  In Chile, everyone has a huge New Year's eve dinner and there is a lot of noise and fireworks at night. Thanks for the ear plugs haha!! I love you!! I hope you have an amazing New Year's eve and New Year's day!!! Hasta luego! 

Christmas is helping others feel the Savior's Love!!

                                                                                                                               Dec. 23, 2013
Hola mi familia!!!It is so different to have a warm Christmas. It is so hot here!! I have a really weird farmer´s tan. Two days in counting until I get to see you on SKYPE!!! I am so excited!!! I am so excited for Christmas!! It has been really hard not to open my presents early! We are doing a secret santa among us six sisters that live in the same house so I bought a gift for my secret Santa. I can't wait for Christmas and especially can't wait to talk to you all!!
 
This week was so amazing!! Heavenly Father really blessed us! On Thursday we had a zone Conference with half the mission, in which we had the Christmas musical program and I got to sing! It was so spiritual! We read the account from the scriptures and had videos and music during it so that we could tell the story of His birth through the scriptures, church videos, and songs. it was so amazing and so fun to celebrate the Lord´s birth and think about the miracle of it all! 
This week we didn´t find a lot of new investigators--only two, but we were happy to have four people that attended church on Sunday and three who have a baptismal date for the 11th of January. Hector, who is a reference from Ramon, José, and Valentina have a date for the 11th. Valentina, who is 8, participated in the primary program on Sunday during Sacrament meeting. Also, the grandson of José, Nicolas, was also in the primary program! It was so amazing. Valentina´s mom, Carlina, also came, and she is another investigator we are working with! Our little branch is growing stronger and stronger as more less actives are come back. We are also working with Noemi, who is really evangelic, but wants to know the truth and is really interested in the Book of Mormon. And we are still visiting Karen. She traveled and wasn´t able to come. This week, we found Carlos! He is an older man who has had heart trouble and has some really hard challenges. Before, he struggled to believe in God, but now he just wants to believe and know the truth. We contacted Him one afternoon and gave him a pamphlet of the restoration, and he said we could return in the night. When we got there, he had already read the whole pamphlet, and he loved the message of the restoration. We just need to pray that all of our investigators will pray with real intent, and receive an answer from the Lord. His work is moving forward!!!

This week we have been really focusing on teaching our investigators that our Heavenly Father loves them! Sometimes we teach this part quickly and move on, but this is the most important because if they can feel His love, they will pray and ask Him, and receive His answer, and come to love Him more. The greatest thing we can do as representatives of Jesus Christ is to help someone feel His love and the love of our Heavenly Father.  Our mission president said something that I really liked in the conference. He said, that he and Hermana Arrington were talking about what they would be doing if they were at home for Christmas this year,. They said they would be frantically running around trying to get all the shopping done and everything ready, and taking some small moments to think about the Savior and His birth, life, and Atonement. But they said that this year they are doing just the opposite. They are thinking about the Savior all of the time, as they help others feel His love and receive His gospel. I love that I get to do the same. This Christmas is going to be the best because I will be thinking about the Savior more than anything, and I hope to keep doing that every Christmas from now on.

I now that this is His true Church, His true and everlasting gospel. I know that He lives, that He came to this earth for us, that He lived for us, that He suffered and died for us, and that He was resurrected for us! He lives for us, and I will live for Him! I love you all so much! I can´t wait to talk to you on Wednesday! It will be the best Christmas present ever! I love you!!! Felíz Navidad!!!!

More Baptism Blessings!!!

Hola mi familia!!! I am so excited to get to talk to you on Christmas! Thank you for sharing what you have been doing to celebrate Christmas!!! I am so proud of you and the service and missionary work you are doing. Like dad shared with me, I know the best way we can celebrate the Savior`s birth and life, is to share His gospel and spread His love! Thank you for your examples!!

I have so much to tell you!!!! Thank you so much for the sweet package that arrived with love from Chicago. I didn't open it, but my companion did. (haha) Let me explain. We weren´t sure if the presents were wrapped or not, and we each want to open presents on Christmas that are wrapped, so we have been taking turns opening one another´s packages so the others don´t see, and wrapping the presents that aren´t wrapped. Thank you for wrapping some of them!!! All are wrapped now and sitting under, or next to our little tree. I am so excited to open them, and I love you all so much!!!


Guess what???  Ramón was baptized on Saturday!!!! Maria wasn´t able to be baptized, but we are still working with her. 
 
  
Ramón is so amazing and we are so happy for him. He has such an amazing testimony and desire to follow the Savior. And now he is a member of la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Dias!!!
He has found the truth of the Savior´s gospel!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
He already shares with everyone and has a real talent to talk to people and make friends. He already gave us the reference of his neighbor, Hector, and we have been teaching him as well. Although, Hector wasn't able to come to church this Sunday.
 
Everyone was voting for the new president of Chile on Sunday, so the attendance was kind of low. :(
José came to church with his grandson, Nicolas, but he only stayed with him in Primary and then left before Sacrament meeting :( but he wants to be baptized and is preparing for January!!
 
 
We are so happy for Ramon and know that the gospel will bless his life!!
 
We found Valentina this week. She is the 8 year old sister of a recent convert and she wants to be baptized. We are working with her and her mom, so that they can both be baptized. All the other children in the family are already members. They didn´t come to church this week, but they will next! haha we are working for that! We found Maria, Noemi, Marta, Rosalina, Valentina, and Hector this week! We are still working with all of them,and Marcela. We are also working with Karen. She is so amazing, but struggles to come to church, please pray that she will be able to! Also, we weren´t able to visit Estephania because she forgot about our appt. and wasn´t home, but we will visit her this week for sure! Thank you for your prayers! I know the Lord is answering them, and I am so grateful for the miracles this week, an especially for the baptism of Ramón!! 
 
This week I learned so much!!! I was reading the Liahona magazine for this month and I just loved all of it. Every article made me think about how grateful I am for the gospel and for our Savior, Jesus Christ. He has done everything for us, and I want to serve Him the best that I can. I love feeling His Spirit and basking in the warmth of His love, and I want other people to feel the same! Following the Savior brings us the greatest happiness, and bringing others unto Him is the greatest thing we can do.
 
This week, our district leader shared a thought about using excuses to not do things. We have been struggling in reaching the goal of contacts, or people we talk to each week. Sometimes we use excuses not to talk with everyone. He shared a quote, that was in our chapel but I never really applied it to myself. It says in spanish, Uno que quiere hacerlo, busca CAMINOS, uno que no quiere hacerlo, busca EXCUSAS. This means, someone who wants to do something, looks for the way to accomplish it. Someone who doesn´t want to do something, looks for excuses. I thought a lot about it this week as I have been trying to talk to everyone, because truly I want to do everything that the Lord wants me to do, so why should I use excuses when I don´t do it. If I use excuses, it means that I didn´t really want to do it. So my goal is to not use excuses, but to always do what the Lord asks of me. This is the challenge we all have. The reality is, that there are no excuses for not obeying a commandment of the Lord. He will always help us be obedient to His commandments and find the way to accomplish them, or the camino, so there is no need for excuses. If we aren´t obedient, it is because we didn´t want to be, and chose otherwise. So my invitation is that we all try our best this week to not use excuses, but to follow the commandments of the Lord, especially in preparation for Christmas. The best gift we can give Him is our voluntad, or our will. If we give Him our will, then we will never use excuses, and we will be obedient because we love Him and want to do His will. I love you all so much!! Keep being my shining stars and examples!! Have an amazing week, and send my love to all our neighbors, friends, and ward family!!! Felìz semana antes Navidad!!!

Let the Missionary Olympics Begin!!

                                                                                                                            Dec. 2, 2013
This month we are doing a competition between all of the Wards to see who can share the gospel in different ways with the most people. The members earn points for sharing their testimonies, giving
references, giving away Books of Mormon and many other things! We decorated for this!!! 



We are very excited about our Mission Olympics and hope it will encourage us all to be better       missionaries.  May we all "Hold our Torches High" and share the gospel of Jesus Christ!!

"Baptism"-- One of the Greatest Gifts We Can Receive!!

                                                                                                                            Dec. 9, 2013 
Ahhhh!!! It's almost Christmas!!!! I am so excited to see all of you! How are you all doing? I am so proud of you and the missionary work you are doing. I wish I could be there for the family home evening tonight, but I know everything will be perfect. Just pray for the Spirit to guide what you say, and then open your mouths and the Lord will guide you! Thank you for each of your letters! This week was amazing!!! 
First off, on Monday we went to the barbeque that a sister in our ward invited us to. It was her birthday the day after mine and so we celebrated together. They had a cake and we took turns lighting the candles and blowing them out for our birthdays. Afterwards they started chanting for me to bite the cake. For birthdays they always have an activity where the birthday person tries to take a little bite of the cake before their family and friends can push their faces in the cake. I knew what they would do so I didn't want to do it, but Sister Andrea promised me that no one would push my face in the cake. I went to take a bite, and Sister Andrea pushed the cake in my face ha ha it was so fun and I am so grateful for the cute members of my branch.

Guess what??? CRISTIAN WAS BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so amazing and the members really helped make his baptism special. There were a lot of trials to get everything ready. Hermana Amaya and I started the font and the water was hot when we left to go to lunch, and when we returned a half an hour before the baptism was supposed to start, the water was freezing and really low. The elders came to help us, and I boiled water as fast as I could so it would be warmish-coldish and not freezing.


The baptism was beautiful and Cristian shared his testimony about how he felt so clean and that he had been born again. He will receive the priesthood hopefully this Sunday!!! The Ward is really supporting us and helping us.

This is a picture of Cristian and his cute wife and baby. We know that the gospel will bring so many blessings to his new family!! Baptism is truly one of the greatest gifts we can receive. We are so happy for Cristian and his family and know that his choice to be baptized will bring eternal blessings!!
 

     We have seen so many miracles as we were able to help less active members, and investigators, and as we prayed for them, the Lord really blessed them in their individual needs.



This week we found some more new investigators!!!.We found Lester and Katy who are married and have a little daughter named Rosa. They are so cute, and Lester has been in the evangelic church since he was little but he wants to know more about our church. We also found Yicet, Verónica, and Estephani. I am so excited about Estephani. She is a young mother of 3 children, who has a story very similar to Joseph Smith. She was really searching for the true church when she was 15, but never felt like she received an answer. She said that the missionaries always knocked on her door and asked if they could share, and she always said no. But when we came, she said yes. She says that maybe the fact that the missionaries always came is an answer to prayer. She is so amazing, and I am so excited to teach her!!! Camila was out of town this past week, but this week we really hope to help her have a baptismal date, and to come to church. Speaking of baptismal dates, Ramon and Maria are preparing to be baptized this Saturday, the 14th of December. Ramon has stopped smoking!!! Please pray for him that he can keep going, and that he can have strength and that they both can be prepared. We are still working with Marcela, but she struggles with the Word of Wisdom and needs many prayers so she can keep progressing. Thank you for your prayers and the love you have for them!! They are so precious!! 

I am so excited for Christmas!!!! The members are so good to us, and have already invited us to come, as well as our investigators haha. Next week we have transfers, so maybe I will get transferred first, but I will go where the Lord needs me to go. Next week on the 19th or 20th, we are going to have a special mission conference for Christmas. I am in the Choir and also in a trio!!! We are singing, "He sent His Son" (in Spanish), and "Silent Night," (o Noche de Luz,) and in the trio we are singing "Mary´s Lullaby." I am so grateful for Christmas and for the talents the Lord has given me to be able to sing. The song of the heart truly is a prayer unto the Lord and I can´t wait to praise Him for Christmas. We have been singing Christmas songs in church for the past 4 weeks haha They don't celebrate Thanksgiving here so everyone had their decorations up in early November. It is amazing!!! Why can't we have more time to celebrate Christ´s birth!! We should celebrate all year round. Rachael, I am so proud that you are going to give Books of Mormon to your friends. This is the challenge that I want to give you all this week. For Christmas you can give Books of Mormon with your testimony written in them, to all of your friends. The members of Frutillares are going to do it, for the Olimpiada misional and also for Christmas. We can all be united as we give Books of Mormon to our friends in Chicago and in Chile!!! The two Chi-towns! hahaI love you all!!! I love my mission!! I love our Savior and our Heavenly Father!!!! I hope you have an amazing week, can´t wait to hear from you soon!!! Love you!!!! Hasta luego!!!

The Gift We Can Give Him is Our Will

                                                                                                                                Dec. 2, 2013
Hola mi familia!! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!!  and for sharing about your wonderful vacation/thanksgiving/birthday celebration!! So fun!!! I have lots to tell you about this week!!!   
First, a very special Feliz Cumpleanos Hermana Valdiviezo - We both celebrate our birthdays this month.

Now a few funny moments!!! This week we were out contacting people on the way to an appt. and there was a girl selling pajaritos. These are like rolls with cream on top. kind of like cinnamon rolls but not quite as good, but since cinnamon rolls don't exist here, they are really good! Well, I asked the girls selling them, Que esta vendiendo? or what are you selling, and she said, pajaritos. So I said, Oh, quiero uno!( I want one) Then I turned to Hermana Amaya and asked, Usted quiere uno? (Do you want one) And she gave me the weirdest look. I thought she was freaking out because I was breaking my diet again haha, but once we had bought them and were eating I asked her why she looked at me like that. Well it is because, pajaro means bird and pajaritos mean little birds and so she thought that I was buying a little bird because I wanted one, and that I had asked her if she wanted one too ha ha. We can't have pets, so she must have thought I was crazy. Well I am.

Then right after that we were walking up a hill and there were some young men walking down the hill with a soccer ball. One of them kicked it down the hill on their way  to play some futbol, and so I started walking toward it to kick it back. They all watched me as I walked up to the ball. I was pretty sure they thought I was going to take it and run, but then I kicked it back to them, perfectly. This little missionary with a skirt that can play futbol haha. One of them turned to his friend and said, mire, ella patea mejor que usted (Look, she kicks better than you) haha I love Chile!!!

Ok, now for the adventures. I love this branch! It struggles sometimes, but the members are amazing!! On Wednesday a member family invited Marcela to a Family Home Evening with us. It was awesome and they are really helping fellowship her. Oh Thursday night, another family invited us and Marcela. We taught a lesson on the Atonement, and then came the refreshments. Well this sweet family wanted to make sure I had a thanksgiving celebration! So they made homemade pizza and had cookies and all the foods I love in order to celebrate thanksgiving. I love them so much! It was a thanksgiving Chile style, very different, but just as amazing!!! Feliz dia de accion de gracias!


On Friday, it was Marcela's birthday. I made here a cake Chillean style! They make cakes really differently here, but they are so good! I will have to make one when I get home. We went to her house and celebrated with her and it was great!

Sadly, she still struggles with word of wisdom challenges. We really need your prayers in her behalf. This is her biggest struggle. She wasn't able to come to church on Sunday either :( but we will see her tonight!) 









Ramon and Maria came to church on Sunday!! Ramon came for 2 hours and then left, and Maria came with us to Sacrament meeting! They still are struggling, but we know they can obtain their goals and we are going to help them!

My companion made sure everyone knew it was my birthday. On Sunday they sang to me in the Relief Society, and a few members gave me gifts! They are so sweet! After lunch I opened your package!!! It is amazing! Thank you so much for all of the little gifts and for the party in a package! We are definitely going to celebrate tonight. We didn't have a lot of time yesterday to celebrate, but we are going to go to a barbeque here with a member whose birthday is today, so we are going to celebrate together!! My birthday was amazing! Thank you for all of your love and the card! I loved all of the candy! 
 
Oh, also, Cristian is preparing to be baptized this Saturday!!! He wasn't able to come to church because his baby boy was born on my birthday!!! haha I have 2 sobrinos born on my birthday! One that is my cute blonde Reuben, and one that is Latino! His mom is from Peru and his dad from Chile haha so cool, but I hope to let you all know about Cristian's baptism next week!! 

We found 5 new people to teach this week!!! Carmen, Karen, Cecilia, Belen, and another Cristian. Please pray for all of them! Karen is our miracle this week! The elders had given us a reference for Carolina, who supposedly lived directly in front of the church. So we went to the place directly in front of the church. It had a few houses so we went around asking for Carolina. A man told us there was a girl named Carolina in a house on top of the hill so we went up there and found out that the Carolina there is 4 years old haha she wasn't the reference, but her mom Karen is so prepared! Please pray for her!! She is out of town this week so we will be teaching her the next week. This week has been amazing!! 

Something I learned better this week is that our Heavenly Father and Savior are owners of everything. The only thing we can give them that they don't have is our will. They will never take away our free agency because they love us so much, so the greatest gift that we can give them is our will. I know that this is true! I love our Savior and our Heavenly Father more than anything! They live and love us! This gospel is the way back to Them. I pray that we will all turn our will over to Them. Love you all and hope you have a fabulous week!!! Thanks for everything!! Hasta luego!
