18 MONTHS IN CHILE: QUE LLUEVA!!‏

Buenas Días mi familia!! :)

Para que sepan... Next week is my last week for email, because the Monday after I am going to be with Hermana Evans saying bye to her converts so that she has a companion to do it! SO if you want me to read something you are going to send me before I go home, you need to send it THIS week! :)

But this week has been great! We worked hard! We´ve been working a lot in Brillador B, the sector that we´re opening, it´s been good! We have been seeing a lot of miracles with incomplete families, we have been teaching a lot of families of recent converts! They all sit down and listen to us :) It´s so cute! I love it when people just honestly want to learn about the gospel. Because that´s all God needs, a humble heart and an open mind, so that he can change your life for the better :)

My companion is sick with the cold, so we couldn´t do everything we wanted, but God still made things happen for us! :) It also rained a ton on Sunday!! We were going to have a Noche Blanca, a bunch of baptisms one after the other in the stake center, but it got cancelled because of the rain! Seriously, the streets were like RIVERS! La Serena is not prepared for rain haha.

L and L are doing well! It´s sad, the soonest that they can get married is in October, so I´m not sure if my companion will be there for their baptism... :( I already knew that I wouldn´t but I really want my companion to be there! BUT at the same time, I am so excited for them!! They promised to send me pictures of their wedding and baptism :) They are so converted! It is amazing how God prepares people. J came with us and the bishop to visit less actives, he is seriously a member without baptism! But his wife doesn't want to let us visit them... It´s weird. But, we have faith that he is going to get baptized Saturday the 25th!! We´re finding new people too. We are just working along here in Brillador!

I really love this ward. The members are really great with us! I am just so happy to be here in the mission. It´s weird, I still don´t feel like I´m going home soon! It´s like being in the Celestial Kingdom here in the missions. Everything is so perfect. Obviously it´s still hard, but it´s amazing to be able to serve the Lord and others 24/7. It´s so unique, and honestly, it´s so simple. I am so grateful for this time in my life so full of light!! I now can say that i KNOW miracles exist, and that i love my Heavenly Father with all of my heart. His plan is perfect, and I just hope to be able to follow in His light. I just want to lose myself in these last two weeks, and touch as many lives as possible and bring the light that I have found to others. It´s beautiful, the light of Christ. I hope that all can have it, and that I can always be able to share it with others. I know that His light is true and lasting happiness and peace. How great is this work!

I love you all so much! Have a great week!
