<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Dear Hermana Rawe,</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">So
I went back to the beginning and read a lot of the first letters Dad and I
wrote. It was a lot of "you can do this" and "trust the
Lord" and "be patient" and "focus on loving people"
and "give it 100%" ...</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well sunshine, you have done all that and more. I know you
have struggled to feel content with your service and sacrifice to the
Lord. I want you to know that He is well pleased. You have truly
loved every person you came in contact with on your mission as the Savior would
have loved them if He were there. You have been obedient and consecrated
to the work. You have learned how to rely on the Lord and strengthened
your testimony into a rock solid foundation for the rest of your life.
You have loved and served your companions and tried to continually build each
one of them up. There is a piece of your heart and soul that will forever
live in Guadalajara, Mexico because you left it all on the table. The
Lord could not ask for more than you gave.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am so proud of you! Overwhelmingly proud of the
missionary you are and will continue to be long after you come home.
There is a light in you that will continue to draw people to you because you
simply radiate joy. I am so excited for you to come home, but I'm not
going to lie, I'm a little sad too! It has gone by so fast .. it almost
feels like you're coming home too early! I'm going to miss those Monday
emails and your stories! About like the people there are going to miss
knowing you are no longer in Mexico!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Enjoy the last few days .. soak up all that is beautiful and
wonderful about Mexico and its people. Take a minute and quietly ask the
Lord for His final approval of your mission. He will speak to your heart
and let you know just how pleased He is. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I feel like I have an extra set of grandparents!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturday they invited us to eat with them for
my goodbye meal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They made carne asada
with guacamole and I felt like Uncle Brad wanting to lick myself it was so
delicious! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are just too sweet and
Alfonso went to church by himself on Sunday! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were so surprised!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are too special and they both start
telling me that I can’t go home yet and that I have to call because they fell
in love with one misisonary that doesn’t call and I have to call and they want
me to visit, and they are just sweet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yesterday
Hermana Hermila tells me she wants to give me something. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her hand sewn napkins and table runners are
really popular and she gives me a gorgeous white table runner and says that it’s
for the day I get married. She says, I would love to be there, but if not, I
can feel good that you have something from us that will always be in your home.
Yesterday I started feeling super sad. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
companion is already packing my bags and yesterday I really did start to feel
sad. Such a HUGE part of my heart will always be here! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

prayer and she prayed a lot for me. She thanked Heavenly Father for me, for
sending me, for all of the blessings they’ve received through me, and for all
of the unselfish and selfless love I’ve given. It was one of the moments where
I felt the spirit so strongly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m doing
what I’m supposed to do, where I’m supposed to be. Missionary work is so
rewarding. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So I’ve been printing pictures and writing letters to the
families here and on Sunday I gave an hermana a letter and a huge hug. Her name
is Elba and she’s a returned missionary who is like 40 years old. She never
marrried, takes care of her niece and nephew, works, and studies, and she’s the
only member in her family. She is funny and we just get along well. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I gave her a letter and a picture of Christ
and she just gives me a big hug and starts crying. I was so surprised! I think
sometimes I underestimate just how much we can help and influence people. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was literally stunned and just felt peace
again, knowing that every little effort counts. We are Christ’s hands here on
earth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I got to give a talk again in church! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something weird happened with the bishop and
he’s not bishop anymore and he only had one counselor that’s in charge of the
ward now. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said that nobody wanted to
give a talk and was a little stressed and asked the missionaries to help! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was pumped! I love giving talks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started thinking about the members here and
what they really need. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was praying and
just thought about happiness and how we can be happy and have peace even when
we are in the middle of crazy trials. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
I shared my testimony I got a little choked up and just told them how much I
loved them and how much I wanted them to be happy, that they really could
overcome and bear their burdens. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt
the spirit so strongly and I realized how much I really have loved every single
one of my areas. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I have to tell y’all a story. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So Sunday night we decided to have Family Home
Evening with the Castillo family. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad is
inactive and has been a member for a year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom is kind of active and super stressed and
has been a member for a year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Angel is
also kind of active and also has a year as a member, and Leo is 6. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we thought about what to share with them,
we thought about love and the importance of showing love in our homes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sang “The Family is of God” to start but it
was pouring rain and we were having to yell, and the minute they turned the TV
off, Leo starts hysterically sobbing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
started with the Proclamation and did an activity where we wrote situations and
they answered how they could show love and be like the Savior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leo is still crying, the dad is being sarcastic,
it is still raining and we were feeling like it was a disaster. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I had a revelation. I remembered those
times when we were a little more contentious then normal and we all sat at the
table and said the positive traits of every family member. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We put down the planned activity and told them
what we were going to do. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It started out
with ... Angel is good at drawing, and stuff like that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then it is Leo’s turn (he’s still crying) and
Angel says Leo, you’re really a good brother. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His whole face changes, he stops crying, and
says I love you too brother. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we all
started crying and the whole night changed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all ended up in tears and you could feel
the spirit so strongly. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love Family
Home Evenings!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So I was meditating a lot about my mission last night and
remembering so many experiences. The Lord has blessed me so much as a
missionary. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know I still need to grow
so much more and be so much better, but I feel like I have grown and learned so
much. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just love the people. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to call, skype, visit, all the good
stuff because they are such special people and they really do miss us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is so incredible that the Lord gives us
the opportunity to sacrifice, come on a mission, and be His hands even though
we’re not perfect and even though we mess up, He still gives us the chance to
do it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is awesome. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have such mixed feelings. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes I feel so excited to see you guys,
and other times, I just feel straight up sad. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What am I going to do all day at home?? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha! You’re all going to get so tired of my
stories and pictures and videos because it’s all I will want to talk about, and
I’ll probably speak Spanglish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But really
I love you all so much and I’m pretty sure we’ll cry in the airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s take the pictures without tear stains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But really, I love you guys and I will never
stop being grateful for the family I have. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hermana Claudia is
precious. We visited her this week and she tells us that they’ve started
praying as a family!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have like a
month and a half inviting them to do it and they started! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said that it brings them so much peace and
how awesome is that?! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also told us a
story. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said that she went to the
market to buy cheese and other things and she asked for a tiny bit of cheese
and paid her 5 pesos and went to the next stand. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She told us that when she got home, she
realized that they had given her more than 5 pesos worth of cheese.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said, “I just felt bad, usually this kind
of thing doesn’t even bother me before, but I couldn´t get it out of my mind!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went back and explained the situation and
we worked it out.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked to her
about the Holy Ghost and how he is always going to guide her now that He’s her
constant companion. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She really is
changing!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also tells me, “Hermana
Rawe, we’re going to talk on Skype after you go home!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re going to put you on the big screen
here!” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so excited and just love them too much.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

on a month long trip to Tijuana, but he’s been praying and he took his
Book of Mormon with him. I told him I’d see his baptism pictures on Facebook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We’ve also been
working with an investigator named Teresa. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is super shy, but so sweet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her prayers are always so sincere and right to
the point. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We taught her this week about
the Law of Chastity and she was eating it up, that same day she talked with her
spouse and they made plans to save money and to get married within the next
month and a half. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She loves to learn and
she’s been reading the Book of Mormon too. She is one of those special people
and she always asks me, “You’re not leaving yet right?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I keep telling her no, not yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No worries!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday we visited a
less active family. They have been wanting to come back to church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They asked us to teach them how to do Family
Home Evening. We took lots of pictures of temples to their home and talked
about temples and eternal families. We played the game Headbandz but with
church terms and everyone was laughing and having fun. They really opened up
with us and they are even more excited to get back to church. They’ve only been
members for a couple of years and they’ve been inactive for a year. They
are too sweet!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So right now, the
Elder that baptized them is living with them, but last night they started
telling us that he’s not really the best influence for their kids and they’re
worried. I was completely shocked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
starting thinking about how important my example is for the people I have taught
in Mexico.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I always want to be worthy of
their trust and that they see that I live the gospel even after my mission!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not that different than being a Laurel,
or being a Youth Camp Leader at Girls Camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The younger girls look up to us ... if we are negative, they will be
negative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we break the rules, they
will think it is okay for them to not follow the rules.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is so important that we always try to be a
positive influence on each other!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

and I just want to put them all in one big room and see all of them before
I leave for home! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the beginning of my
mission, I missed my home and family in Texas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now, I miss my home and family in Tlaquepaque … my home and family in

us to help in Primary because none of the teachers showed up. We taught the
older kids about the Good Shepherd and it was so fun. We helped them sing their
song and pass out their notes to their dads in Elder’s Quorum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just love being with the kids.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel stronger and
uplifted and I know that Heavenly Father is right there. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel uplifted and I KNOW that the sacrament
is essential. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would never survive
without it! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love this gospel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the church. I love Jesus Christ. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love my companion and I know she’s trying
too. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love those short few moments we
have when I tell her I love her, or write her a note, or we talk about the
Atonement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I treasure those short
moments and I’m trying to be more loving and patient and do what the Lord has
asked me to do with the right attitude.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
love my President who is my hero and sends the most amazing emails.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Second only to my dad!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the Elders and Hermanas here in
Uruapan. I love our investigators and I love our Ward. I’m happy, struggling,
but happy and learning to dance in the storms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Love you all to the moon and back!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

last zone conference! Crazy stuff right? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am going to miss President and Hermana so
much! We talked about the importance of the Sabbath Day using a training from
General Conference. It was AWESOME!! We talked about the church has the
purpose of uniting families for eternity, but the chain usually breaks between
baptism and entering the temple and it’s because of weak gospel teaching in the
HOME. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked about the importance of
keeping the Sabbath Day holy and how it will help families. This day we send a
sign to the Lord with everything we do. How are we applying in our families what
is taught at church? What are we teaching our kids that we should do on
Sundays? It was so good! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also talked
about the Book of Mormon and I just loved it! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sang the song “The Family is of God”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not going to lie ... I got a little teary
eyed! Who makes missionaries sing that song??!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, it was so pretty and
honestly my new favorite song. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had the opportunity
to give a talk in church yesterday. I LOVE giving talks. I was praying and thinking
a lot about what to talk about and I couldn’t get the idea of love out of my
mind. I started talking about what is love and how much our Heavenly Father and
Jesus Christ love us and how I came to know that that’s true. I used a lot of
Jeffrey R. Holland’s talk, “The First Great Commandment”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we’ve felt their love, there’s no going
back, we have to love them too. I talked about how we show them our love and
how we have a life of devoted discipleship to give. I felt the Spirit so
strongly and I love this topic. We have to love, love our Father in Heaven and
love everybody else. </span></div>

yesterday we visited Claudia and Naty to see how they were doing and how it
went in their baptism and confirmation and it turns out Brandon stayed at the
table to chat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He almost always leaves,
but yesterday he stayed there! We started to talk about prayer and I felt the
strongest impression to tell him, “I know you need a Dad. You need someone to
listen to you and to help you and to love you and our Heavenly Father can be
your dad. He is your dad. He will listen. He will help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He will support.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He will counsel.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He just looked at me and we kept sharing more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He wants to start praying. We’re also going
to start teaching him more and more! He asks us, “If I join your church, do I have
to go on a mission?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like it’s not my
choice, I have to go?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We told him he
would make the decision and no one would force him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A teacher at church always talks to him about
a mission and I think he scared him! That’s why he hasn´t been hanging around!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Goodness!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">This week Claudia and Naty were baptized! Ahh, their baptismal service was gorgeous!! First, the Hermana LOVES flowers and so we bought her white ones with her favorite red roses for their big day. We sang, “I Stand All Amazed” and I gave the first talk (Hermana Claudia picked me). I talked about the Atonement and how Christ invites us to come unto Him and make covenants with Him, and how we have a life of devoted discipleship to give. As I was closing I got a little teary eyed and told them that even though I was not always going to be here, I would always be with them praying for them and encouraging them. I feel so much love for this beautiful family and then Hermana Claudia started crying and you could just feel the Spirit. Then Elder Neddo (chosen by Naty) talked about why we hang in there, why we just keep pushing and it’s because of the promise of an eternal family and the celestial kingdom. The four missionaries sang, “The Spirit of God” and then Eduardo Lozano baptized them both. Everyone wrote them notes as they changed and the Bishop and his wife and the Relief Society President shared a few words and Hermano Mike got a little teary eyed and we’re hoping that being in the baptism motivates and encourages him a little bit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

they’ll be baptized this Friday and we have a really pretty baptismal service
planned!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week we really focused on
the Book on Mormon. We taught the 10 commandments using the story of Abinadi
and King Noah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermana Claudia is so
willing to change and to be obedient. She says, “Well Hermanas, I’m about the
Sabbath Day. I know I need to wash clothes and clean the house on Saturday, I
know we go to church, I know I need to take the sacrament every week, but we
get home, and then what do we do?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
just has this strong desire and she truly looks to us as guides to help her make
decisions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We were going to teach her about the priesthood and temples on
Saturday, but as were following up with her commitments, she had read so much
in the Book of Mormon but she still hasn’t felt an answer. Then she mentioned
that she felt like she was very impatient and just angry sometimes. I thought
about 2 Nephi 4 when Nephi feels terrible about getting mad at his brothers. We
read it with her and we pause for a second and Hermana Claudia says, “When we
pray, we really need to talk with God, right? It needs to be a conversation.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so AWESOME!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we kept reading and as we finished, I
felt the impression to invite her to write the impressions she had received or
the things she felt like she should do as we read together. She starts writing
and then puts the pen down. I wrote too, and as I was finishing, she picks up
the pen again and writes, Read the Book of Mormon. We are helping her to
receive and recognize revelation!! She’s already choosing who is going to
baptize her and who is going to give the talks and what hymns we’re going to
sing and it will be so pretty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As she talked about how we really need to talk with God, I
thought about so many prayers that I said before my mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my last semester at BYU, I spent hours on
my knees, crying, listening, receiving answers, just super special experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was thinking that here on my mission, I’ve
been lacking a little bit of that recently. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got home that same night and my companion
was really stressed and I sat down and started to write in my journal about the
day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I meditated on so many things and
then felt the strongest desire to pray. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
felt the Spirit so strongly and it was a true conversation. The tears came and
I felt His love, I haven’t been a perfect missionary, but I felt that He was
content with all that I’ve done here. It was such a cool moment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

made with the Lord during our lives ... at baptism, in the temple, and as we
were set apart as missionaries. I thought a lot about my covenants and how I
need to better keep them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t want
to just hang in there, or something like that. I want to faithfully and
cheerfully serve in this time that I have left. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sure it is hard, these past two months have
quite easily been the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but you could
say that I signed a contract with the Lord. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I promised, and if I depend on Him and
faithfully keep my covenants, He will strengthen me, He will make my burdens
light and I will be able to serve Him with all my heart, might, mind and
strength. I love the Gospel and I love the Lord. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

message first that he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and that Elder Scott
was still in the hospital.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">Then the next
message came through that Elder Perry died. It feels weird right? Like a member
of the family died.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">I love them so
much. </span></div>

Day) and she is really struggling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
feels like her relationship with God has been destroyed and little by little
she’s trying to reconstruct it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is so
hard when such bad things happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
really do feel like your relationship with God has fallen apart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked about prayer and felt the Spirit so
strongly, I love her so much and I love being able to focus on just living
lifting others. It feels amazing and I just love it. I love loving
people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We also have been working with Hermana Claudia and Naty. They
are progressing so much and went to the ward activity this week and showed up
at church by themselves! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We showed up at
her house one day this week and she was watching conference videos and taking notes!
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are just working on helping her
receive an answer to her prayers. We’re going to really focus on the Book of
Mormon and they really do seem like members! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was thinking about the Book of Mormon and
how it really was written for our day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It talks about materialism and avoiding pride
and contention, being humble, being dedicated to the Lord, the importance of
family. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need a strong and firm
testimony of the Book of Mormon. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have
to live it and study it personally and as a family. It’s one of the greatest
tools we have to protect us and strengthen us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have found incredible strength in the words
of Book of Mormon prophets and I know the book is true. I know it testifies of
Christ and I know my testimony and understanding of the Atonement have
increased by reading daily. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all have
to read!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

working really hard!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been
learning some hard lessons this week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
companion and I went to church and it was all good, but since Saturday my
companion has been pretty stressed and well mad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has said a few things that I don’t think
she really means. She kinds of runs way in front of me and pulls her own hair
and says we’re just wasting the Lord’s time, nothing good is happening here,
etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve never experienced anything
like it and I’ve never had somebody so angry with me … Not even when we were
younger and Mom made the face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt so
completely lost and confused, but I’m trying to not let it make me lose my
enthusiasm or love for this work. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being
a missionary isn’t just about how many people you can baptize.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is about helping people, bringing them
hope, helping them to feel the love of the Savior, teaching them that living
the gospel will bring them happiness and peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ve just been focusing on feeling the Spirit and not taking what she
says to heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

started saying some angry things and I knew she wanted to fight with
someone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just tried to sing hymns and
tell myself that she was stressed for other things and stuff like that and it
was okay. I started talking to people in the street too because that also makes
me feel good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just didn’t say anything
and prayed she would feel the Spirit and calm down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, she said something a little bit
stronger and the enthusiasm slipped and the discouragement entered. I started
getting watery eyed and started praying out loud in a whisper, “Heavenly
Father, I don’t want to fight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t want
to get mad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t want to get offended.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t want to fight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please help me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Help me to feel love.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Immediately, I felt like we should go visit Hermana Castillo. Last
time we saw her, she was so sad and stressed out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had studied for about a week to find a
message that would help her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I kept
thinking about the Lord’s grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went
to their house, and her son asked me if I was okay, “Your smile is the same,
but your eyes look kind of sad.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I told
him it was all good! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started to share a message about grace. I
felt the Spirit SO MUCH in that lesson. It was incredible. Hermana Castillo
started crying and told us that she truly felt like now she understands grace.
She started crying more and saying that we are never alone that we can always
feel the Lord’s love if we look for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
shared my testimony too and I just felt it so strongly inside of me. I know the
Lord lives and I know that I am doing things that never would have been
possible without the Lord’s help. I could never keep my mouth shut and not
fight back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could never put off
frustration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could never forgive and
forget so easily if it wasn’t for the Lord and his love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that He is giving me the strength that
alone I don’t have. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought of the hymn,
Lord I Would Follow Thee ... “Pause to help and lift another, finding strength
beyond my own. In the quiet heart is hidden, sorrow that the eye can’t
see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To the wounded and the weary, I
would show a gentle heart. Savior, may I learn to love thee. Lord, I would
follow thee.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It is so true!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I
shared all of these feelings with her, she kind of looked at me and said, “You
know how you can really tell the difference between missionaries that are
committed and really converted to this and the ones that just kind of follow
the routine?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The committed ones give
their whole heart and they study for you and they find what you need and they
share it with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are like part of
the family.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that she was an answer
to my prayer because in that moment I felt the Lord’s love so strongly and He
gave me the strength to finish the day. I love Him so much and I love my
companion and I know that it’ll all be okay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The lesson for me … What an incredible gift I was given to grow
up feeling loved my entire life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean
really loved for who I am. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those
feelings of love and acceptance just ripple into other feelings of self-worth
and confidence. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all have crazy strong
personalities, but we learned to work stuff out, without yelling most of the
time and until everyone was okay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
were taught to look for the positive in every situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I came on my mission grateful for my family,
but when I come across people who have been treated bad their whole life, I am
even more grateful. I am learning how being a missionary helps prepare you for marriage. Two people come together from different backgrounds, different family personalities, different ways of doing things, different ways of communicating .. and if you love each other, you continue to work on your relationship. You work through the differences. One person isn't right and one person isn't wrong .. it is just different, and you have to work to find the common ground.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

incredible missionary and we went to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I laid there for a little bit thinking and I remembered a talk that
Elder Holland gave a few years ago called, “Like a Broken Vessel” and I couldn’t
get the thought out of my head. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
morning I read the talk and then I started crying during my studies because it
was seriously perfect.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Today marks the start of my last transfer! I will be finishing
my mission here in Uruapan with Hermana Villa! Does that freak you guys out or
what? I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that I only have 6 weeks
left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve been reflecting a lot on my
whole mission and how beautiful it has been and how much I miss people from
other areas and how much I’ll miss people that are here, but I then I get
excited to see y’all at the same time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Who knows??!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Too many
feelings! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This week I had splits with Hermana Peña! She’s too cute and too
funny and we had a good time here in Jardines! We taught some great lessons and
I have some good goals for my last little bit here. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This is Hermana Castillo. She helped us in some of our
appointments this week and she just hit one year as a member. We visited her
last night and she was kind of in a rough spot with some family situations and
as I hugged her I just told her to hang in there and not get discouraged. She started
crying and it’s the first time I’ve seen her cry. I love her so much and we’re
looking for ways to help her. Hermana Maribel is also going through rough stuff
right now and last night we knocked on her door and her kids told us she was
showering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The house was a wreck, so we
snuck in and cleaned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wrote her a
note, and were getting ready to leave, but then she caught us!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, we stayed a little longer and shared a
message with her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She kind of had a
moment too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hey!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all have those little moments!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Hermana Caracosa is in our ward here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her 18 year-old son died after two weeks in
the hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He got sick and two weeks
later died as they found an infection in his brain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She went to church yesterday and sat in the
back. She looked so sad and alone, we went and sat with her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She just started crying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been visiting her this week too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">I realized in the last 24 hours that there are so many people
suffering. This life isn’t easy and the only thing that gives us peace is
living the gospel. Your heart just breaks in like a hundred different pieces
and you start looking for talks or scriptures or something to help, or you
start writing a note, and there are just so many people that need us to lift
them up or bring them light. I feel like our whole lives can be productive and
happy if we are constantly serving and thinking about others instead of our own
problems. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Got to love my best friend Victor. He says that he’s going to
invite me to his baptism in about three years and that if I cry, he’ll hug
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Precious right? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We went to visit Hermana Karla this week and we found her in bed
because she felt really bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started
cleaning her house ... sweeping, mopping, dishes, putting her clean clothes out
to dry, and then the elders call and tell us that the family we were going to
eat with isn’t home and so we start thinking of who we can call. Hermana Karla
hears and tells us that we’ll be eating with her. She is precious and we love
her, but money is so tight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She leaves
and we see her ask her neighbor for money and then goes a buys chicken and
other things and sits us down to eat. I felt the Spirit so much and people that
literally have nothing give us everything they have. They are so humble and
just give and give and it was special there with her in her house and she’s
also getting closer and closer to being prepared for baptism! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and it was so fun. Then, on Sunday, they show up at church for the first time
in about three months! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

last week!! They are progressing so much.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">
</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">They have been working on the word of wisdom and keeping the Sabbath day
holy.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">They still don’t feel like they
are ready for baptism though.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">Hermano
Eduardo went with us to teach them and we felt the Spirit so much. We decided
to fast with them so that she and we can know if she’s ready. It was such a
powerful and she told us that she wants to be baptized because she wants to
change and start over and lighten her burdens and she receives every
commandment with an obedient heart and they went to church on Sunday and she
was taking pictures of the manual in relief society because she liked what it
said and wanted to read it again later! Haha! They fasted!! Naty too!! We love
them so much and when they found out I was going home in six weeks, they
weren’t too fond of the idea and are already making plans so that I visit. </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">I love them too much! </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">Oh, and one day we showed her one of Jeffrey
R. Holland’s talks and we left YouTube there in her house. She tells us the
next day that she watched videos for 3 hours!! General Conference talks, Mormon
Messages, but she was there till her son kicked her out! Crazy right? She is so
great. </span></div>

Hermana Claudia, I became practically obsessed with Conference Talks, but
listening to them. I’m going to download them in English today because I have
tantas ganas to listen to their voices! It’s not the same in Spanish. I am turning
into a Conference junkie!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This is the Ortiz family! They helped us out on Sunday when our
meal plans fell through and they are so great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their teenagers are passing through a rowdy stage and we talked a lot
about the importance of family home evening, family prayer, and they are so
excited to start! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">I was thinking about how so many times in this life, we pass
through storms. The winds start, the rain starts, or hail, and we kind of
panic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been learning so much about finding
peace in the storms. The hymns are my happy safe place. I know you’ll make fun
of me for my MoTab CD, but I love the music. It’s one of the first things that
instantly helps me feel peace. I love the words of the prophets, just hearing
their voices also makes me feel peace. I am learning so much about the enabling
power of the Atonement. Without prayer, without the scriptures, without
obedience, the storms last so much longer. With the Lord’s help, we are passing
by with rain boots, a huge umbrella, and a long rain jacket! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">As I read the emails from today, something totally hit me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes it is really easy to get stressed
in the mission. I think, well actually I’m pretty sure, my goal for my last
transfer is expressing my love for everyone every day ... for the Lord, for my
companion, for the members, for our leaders, for our investigators, literally
everyone, and my focus for these last six weeks is going to be showing sincere
love every day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">I love y’all tons. I know that the Lord lives. I know that He
forgives. I know that He wants us to be happy. I love y’all too much! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this week, I received a revelation. Ha! Ha! I have had the idea for about 10 years and
don’t ask me why I hadn’t done it yet. I was thinking about writing every
single question I have and as I study, praying and looking for the answers. This week, we took it one step further and
gave notebooks to our investigators and having them do it too. That way we both share experiences. These are
my questions:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’ve already received so many answers and I immediately felt a
difference in my studies. On Sunday I was studying one of the talks mom sent me
called, “Elements of Happiness” and it was the answer to so many questions!! I
just feel like I’m receiving so much revelation! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mike and Claudia and their kids are also starting to write their
questions. The other day Natalia asks, where can I get a hymn book and how can
I be a missionary? She had them both written in her notebook! Turns out I still
have my little hymnbook and I wrote her a cute note inside and was marking and
writing her about certain hymns. It was
my P-Day project! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I was also studying a lot about pride and humility.
Simply put, pride is doing what we want, when we want. Humility is doing what
Heavenly Father wants and when He wants. It is so simple and I started asking
myself daily – “Is this what I want or what He wants?” If I decide it is something that He want me to
do and then I’m trying to do it. It’s really hard, but it’s also really simple. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we also had Stake Conference. It was really a great
conference. This is the Ramirez family.
Remember, the ones I tell you that remind me so much our of our family. Grandma Ramirez is mom in about 15 years.
This is Ofelia. They went to Stake Conference too and it’s been awesome seeing
them attending church after so much time not going! She is a doll and we love
her!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So like I told y’all last week I think, I have the Perez
Gonzalez family on my agenda. Everyone says ahhhh, let’s see this picture, is
that your family? I just smile and then
feel really good and tell them they’re my second family in Guadalajara. Just a
feel good moment! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another feel good moment ... we were walking in our neighborhood
this week and two little boys come up and said, “Hola Hermanitas! Comó están?” We have no idea who they are and they say we’ve
never visited them. On Saturday one comes up and says, “Hermanitas when are we
going to go to church?” He is so dead
set on going and now we just need to know who his parents are!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Heavenly Father helped us find so many new families this week!
We’re really excited to see if they can progress or not! But it was just
incredible how we found so many!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The highlight of my week was definitely my last interview with
President. There are a lot of “last”
moments lately and it makes me feel a little sad. Before my interview, we had to call Hermana
Camarillo and share our testimony in Spanish and English. She asks how long I have in the mission and I
don’t even know what happened, but I almost started crying and I tell her 16
months. I think she heard the tone and
says, “We won’t talk about sad things anymore, but I know exactly how you feel!”
It kind of freaked me out and wow,
almost tears! Somebody is a little sensitive these days! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I enter the room with President and he says, “How are you
Hermana Rawe, but really, how do you really feel?” Ha! Ha! I just started crying ... I’m stressed ... a
little nervous my mission is ending … about a million little different
emotions. He asked what changes I’ve
made and how I’m different from when I arrived.
I told him about understanding and applying the Atonement more, a little
more patient, a stronger testimony and firmer conversion. He said, all of these
things can be summed up in one word: charity. You truly are charitable. He told me I’m exactly where I need to be on
a spiritual level and that I’m a “Preach My Gospel” missionary. For so long I worried about being that kind of
missionary!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He told me that I mentioned in my last letter to him that the
Lord is changing my heart. He said, “Let
me correct you. I don’t think that true.
You got here with a huge heart full of love, thanks to your beautiful
family. You just didn’t know how to use
it in these new experiences and you’re learning how to use it.” He said, “This is our last interview and I
want to take the time to thank you. You’ve been like a right arm to me and I
have trusted you and truly leaned on you. You’ve done exactly what I’ve needed. Today, what can I do for you?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My fear of transitioning to home life came to mind and I asked
him what I can do. He mentioned just loving you guys and hanging out a ton, staying
up late, sleeping late, listening to, talking with and serving you all. He told me to keep studying my scriptures
every day, to keep an agenda, to be obedient, to go to the temple frequently,
to look for a job in the MTC, everything our leaders invite us to do. Ha!
Ha! He told me that I was going to have
a wonderful life with kids and that he would be eagerly waiting my wedding
invitation. He thanked me for every little thing I’ve done to help my
companions and he told me that the Lord was truly using me as a servant and an
instrument in his hands, and that he would do so my whole life. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love my President and we’ve become pretty good buddies these
past few months. He then asked for a hug. I love my mission! I know that the Lord knows me, my companions,
and my President. He put us all together
so each of us could learn and grow from each other. Each of them has taught me so much and I love them with all my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you’re all doing great!
Get ready to party! I love you all tons and I’ll see you soon!</span><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">This week Naty and Hermana Claudia had their birthdays on
Saturday! Hermano Mike is in between jobs right now and well, there wasn’t
really a lot of money around in order to celebrate the birthdays. We bought a
cake a made a huge card and surprised them Saturday morning! They were so
excited and told us that the night before they had been super sad because they
weren’t going to be able to celebrate their daughter’s birthday. We all ate
cake together and shared a message about prayer.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As we were following up with their commitments, it turns out
Hermana Claudia had read A TON in the Book or Mormon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The study guide, more chapters in Moroni,
from the beginning, she had read so much and she’s loving it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then on Sunday, the FOUR of them show up at
church on time, take the sacrament, and then we go to Gospel Principles.
Hermana Mike speaks up about how important to be baptized when we know what’s
right and wrong, and how many big changes he needs to make, and how he needs to
be a hundred percent committed to this in order to be a good dad. It was just
cool. Like, I don’t know how to describe it, but it just feels different when a
whole family arrives at church. Hermana Claudia said the closing prayer in our
class and she prayed for so many things ... for all of the missionaries, she
thanked God for being at church, for being there with her family, for all that
she’s learned ... like it was just a super sincere prayer. They are such a
special family and I love them too much!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Earlier in the week, we stopped by because Hermano Lozano was
going to give Hermana Claudia a blessing. He gives her the most beautiful
blessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Out of the other room comes
Hermano Mike and completely surprises us by sitting down to talk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s been ignoring us for awhile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The questions comes up of when I’m going
home. I tell him July. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“So, you’ll be
here until then?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully, but there
is a possibility I won’t be. He gets super serious and starts speaking in
English, “You can’t leave yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have
so much more work to do, especially with me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You can’t leave yet.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so
surprised and also excited!! They read part of the Book of Mormon TOGETHER.
They all have baptismal dates, except his son that’s 17, but they want to be
baptized together. I would love to be there!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I learned a lot of things. I learned just how much
with every companion or every area, the Lord prepares for something else I will
face with another companion or another area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After lots of sincere, heartfelt, almost pleading prayer and fasting, I
know He loves me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know He always has a
plan. I know that I can do anything He asks me to do. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s like with every hurdle I learn to trust
Him and depend on Him more and more. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
am more patient, more loving, and I am changing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I was thinking about who I was before my mission. I
was a good kid, but not 100% converted. I feel so much more converted, like I
truly have a testimony of every principle of the gospel. I started thinking
about what my life would be like if I hadn’t served a mission. It just wouldn’t
be the same, I wouldn’t feel the same, and I wouldn’t do the same things. I
know I still need to prepare a lot more, but I feel so much more prepared to be
a mom and a wife. I think every companion, or people in every area are teaching
me how I will be able to better respond to my kids. It’s teaching me a lot
about the husband I have to look for! Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>According to an ex-missionary in Tlaquepaque ... who you marry is a lot
like your favorite companion! I can totally see that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to be able to talk with him and we
have to be humble and we both have to change and we have to be positive and
hard working and just see the best in everything. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s just cool. It’s cool absolutely thinking I can´t ... I can’t
anymore … I just can’t … and then seeing how with the Lord’s help it quickly
turns into I can. We can endure, we can be long suffering, we can love, we can
be patient, we can grow, we can bear it, and it’s all because of His help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s because He gave us the strength, He
changed our hearts, and it’s just cool. The gospel is true. I know, I do my
best to live it, and I love it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">Dear sweet
family, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">Well I am a
little short on stories this week as I was home Wednesday night, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Let’s call them rough days on the sick train! I have to tell y’all the
story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">So I thought
I just had a little bit of a cold, headache, body aches, normal flu, and I was
just super thirsty, or I thought it was a sore throat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Wednesday the stomach gets going too and
we sent the text to Hermana Camarillo. She sends me to a medical center close
to here and gastroenteritis is what they tell me. We’re in there with the
doctor and my companion jumps in with how much rest do you recommend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s about when my palm hits my face!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Never ask that question!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He says, 48-72 hours and I said, “NO!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No way!!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We get my meds, get on the bus and head home. I send the text to Hermana
Camarillo giving her the report and I ask her if 48 hours is okay … coming from
the one who never asks the doctor about rest and even says to Hermana Camarillo
“I can work, I just want to go to the doctor so they give me the antibiotic”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She responds, “Hermana Rawe, go right on ahead
with your rest, but 72 hours is better. You need to completely rest and
rehydrate.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>UGH!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">It was about
7 at night and it’s like she really thought things through because 5 minutes
later, another text comes through, “Go home! Right now!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tell everyone that it is all my mom’s
fault!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Heidi Junior or what? So we’re at
home and I literally slept for like 3 days straight living on white bread with
ham, apples, and suero. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I woke up to eat
and to go to our zone meeting on Friday. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sunday we went to church but I still just felt
off and was actually getting pretty frustrated. I send her another text telling
her that I still a strong pain in my stomach and not wanting to eat anything.
She sent me home Sunday afternoon and at night connected me with a doctor who I
don’t even remember where she told me he is, but he’s American. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were speaking in Spanglish and I just love
his American accent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had to be like
60 years old. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I started telling him
what the doctor gave me, he said, “Whoa!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That’s a strong dose of the nausea medicine!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s your problem right there! Stop taking
that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get off that and you’ll feel
better! That’s why your stomach is so angry.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All I hear is the voice of the old lady from Enchanted, “He tried to
kill me!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good news is, since yesterday I haven’t taken
those pills and I’m feeling much better! This week we will work so much!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">Yesterday we
had the coolest experience with Andoni. Remember our less active family with
the rebellious teenagers that are remembering what church was like? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well yesterday, before I got sent home, we
visited them. They were ALL home. We started talking about faith and the boys
starting bringing up a lot a doubts and questions about why we suffer here in
life. We had an incredible lesson and we ended up at repentance and we felt the
spirit so strongly. Andoni agreed to meet with the bishop and wrote his number
down. I love these boys! I love them so much! They just make me happy and I
just see them on missions, or passing the sacrament, but active in the
church. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">So in my
time at home, I read all of my journals. I remember my setting apart, when
President Gottfredson talked about working a lot with less active members and
also about more difficult companions but blessing with the ability to help and
serve them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remembered the MTC, my
first months here, all of my experiences, and I felt the Spirit so strong. Did
you know that in my MTC one day in the temple we did sealings and I wrote that
I felt like one day I would be in temple sealing of a family from Mexico?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wrote, “Who knows if it is just wishful thinking
or a real impression from the Spirit.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well I think it´s going to be real!! I read
that and just started crying .. How cool is that?? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial;">I only have
9 weeks left as a missionary, but in these past few days, I realized how
incredible my mission has been and how it has been a huge blessing for me. I
love being here, I love my experiences, I love these people and I just want to
keep serving and loving. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

AWESOME!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So like I told y’all last week,
they sent me to Guadalajara on Tuesday to sign my Visa again. Tuesday night we
get there at like 6:45 and I was kind of tired of being on buses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next bus to the house in Cruz del Sur
takes like an hour and half.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, I called
the Elders and asked if we could just stay the night in Tlaquepaque.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not going to lie, I was hoping to run into
some people!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew Hermana Gonzalez was
still there!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got shut down by Elder
Guillen, so we got on the next bus to Cruz del Sur. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Totally funny, the minion piñatas that Hermana
Buttars and I bought are STILL THERE. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got to Cruz del Sur and the Hermanas start
giving me the update on all of the families! It was so awesome to see how much
they have grown!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maria Dolores is
getting ready to enter the temple soon! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m hoping to be able to go with her!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt the Spirit so strongly and decided to
write letters to everyone there. They all made fun of me because I was writing
letters all night. Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was just
such a cool moment!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so special to
see that everything we do makes a difference. I love those people.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we go sign our Visas and one of the Elders in the offices asks me, Hermana what
airport are you going home to?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I whipped
around, “WHAT??!!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did not believe
they were looking at plane tickets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The

got so excited, “Wow!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are already
sending you home!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just felt so sad! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kind of like...whoa, what a second! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not time yet!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have so much left to do!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t like talking about it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyways, there’s a new mission map in the

bus station to go back to Uruapan and there aren’t any more buses until
Thursday and it was like 3:00 in the afternoon. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We called the zone leaders and they said they
would look into something for us to do until the next bus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s when my heart started beating really
fast … WELL, just so happens that Tlaquepaque is like 30 minutes from here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like no one can see through that little
helpful hint!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Five minutes later he
called us back and said to go to Tlaquepaque.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hermana Gonzalez and Hermana Casanovas will be waiting for us in the
church. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hung up the phone and I
started giggling and yelling YES! YES! YES!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The lady in front of us in line started cracking up!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Literally, the whole time felt like a
dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is me in my chapel where my
heart will be permanently reside! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermana

and Hermano Jose aren’t in their area anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was so bummed!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I kind of wanted
to see them and Hermana Gonzalez reading my mind says well hey, let’s invite
them to our appointments!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermano Jose
comes with us. Ahh, just seeing him was so awesome and we go visit Hermana Irma
(the investigator that makes piñatas) She and her husband are going to church
now and reading the book of Mormon. How cool is that? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermano Jose shared a powerful testimony and
then we went to see Hermana Ruby. Hermana Casanovas made it a surprise and
covered the Hermana’s eyes and then she saw me and just squeals and we hugged
for a long time and then we both start crying. She gave me a wallet, the ones
that Juan is making while he’s in jail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As we left, she got all teary again and tells me that I can’t forget
about them. We took pictures with the girls and they want to be missionaries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermana Gonzalez and I talked all night!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was just the BEST DAY EVER!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the morning, Hermano Jose and Hermana Elsa
took us to the bus station. Hermana Gonzalez told me that the first time they
went to see Hermana Elsa after I left, she almost didn’t want to receive them
and said she wasn’t prepared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About a
week later, she let them come to visit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermana
Gonzalez told me that Hermana Elsa was crying a ton because she wasn’t
expecting me to leave and that she loves me like her own daughter and she never
thought she would love me so much. I got to see her in the morning and she
gives me a big hug and ahh, I just love them and the whole trip felt like a
dream. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

early on Thursday morning, it was all dark and we saw the whole city and I felt
empty ... like a huge hole in my heart and super sad. You know, like the
feeling when we leave Disneyland. I got a little misty eyed and just started
thinking about when I actually leave this country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has all gone by so fast and it’s hard. It’s
so hard leaving. I thought about Christ in 3 Nephi when the people start
begging him not to leave, and it says that he had compassion on them and stays
a little while longer. That’s what I’d like to do! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made y’all a video talking about all of
this, but it’s not uploading. But anyways, it is like I saw all of the fruits
of my mission in like 2 days. I could see how everything we do matters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing is in vain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s all worth it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s so incredible to have relationships so
strong, to love people so much and feel like they’re family. Mom, PRETTY PLEASE,
we have to come. You have to meet these people. You will love them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But yeah, it was awesome, so awesome and just
a tender mercy of the Lord. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After getting back
from Guadalajara we had some pretty cool experiences here in Jardines! Hermano
Mike isn’t really listening to us anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He’s just not ready to give up some things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We finally found his wife after about a week
and a half yesterday and we watched the Joseph Smith movie! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She loved it and said the most awesome prayer
afterward. She was pleading to know if it was all true and she thanked the Lord
for letting her know Joseph Smith better and asked for time to be able to read
the Book of Mormon. Her kids are also listening with her! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Woo!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hoo! </span></div>

pretty special experience with the Camacho family. Their mom has been super
worried and stressed lately and her oldest son wants to go and live with his
girlfriend. Last night, as a miracle, we found them all together and as we said
the opening prayer, I felt impressed to talk about prayer. We start talking
about prayer and her oldest son asks a ton of questions and kind of doubts that
Heavenly Father listens to us. As we talked he started realizing lots of answers
and his whole attitude changed, then he starts asking about eternal marriage
and we leave him some homework and an appointment for next Sunday. His mom
afterward gave me the biggest hug!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
think we hit just what he needed to hear!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I just love people. I love the opportunity to love them so much and just
try to help them and for all of the inspiration the Lord gives us. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

on thinking about the pioneers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha!
Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was reading more today and there’s
a part where the Lord says that sometimes we have to suffer and pass through
trials in order to learn to be humble and obedient. We have to be truly
converted. In our ward conference, the stake president talked about that and
it’s so true. We have to sacrifice, we have to trust the Lord and follow Him
completely. I love Him and I love the gospel. The real world is scary and I can’t
believe my mission is already winding down, but I know that I love Him and that
together we can figure the rest out. I love y’all!!</span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hermana Adelaida. Her boys a little lost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They took some wrong turns, but they want to make it back. We taught
them about prayer and repentance and one says, “I’m feeling things I haven’t
felt for a long time.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How cool is that?
They are a great family and we just have to help them to get to church and get
back on the right path. They remind me a lot of my uncles. They are good guys,
really good guys and they are so cute with their sister, but they need love and
need to clear some things up. One day after the lesson, one of the brothers
asks me, “Hermana, are tattoos bad?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
asked him what he thought and he said he doesn’t know, so I told him to ask
God. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He just kind of looks at me and he
says, “do you ask God stuff?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>OF
COURSE!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ask God stuff all the
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He looked so shocked, “And He
answers you?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>OF COURSE! He will answer
you too if you reach out to Him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
kind of a special experience for me and I just want to help people have this
relationship with their Heavenly Father. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

love His gospel. Sometimes I’m a hot mess, but I’m really trying hard to focus
my mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just stop the negative voices, shut
out everything and just focus on Him and His kids. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A mission is really a miracle. This week I saw
the movie “17 Miracles” and I thought so much about the pioneers. They were
exhausted and hot too but they just kept going. I loved the examples of the
ones who also served and gave everything they had to their families. This
spirit of service and sacrifice for the Lord touched my heart and I think that
more than anything I don’t want to forget the things I’ve learned on my
mission. I want my life afterward to be different, to be more consecrated to
him, more focused on Him, and more than everything else, just obedient. I want
my mission to really change me and not just be a cool or spiritual experience.
I want to be different, more converted and just firm! This life is a wild ride,
but the Lord has given us everything we need. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

new companion and know that the Lord always has a plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m learning to trust Him more and more. I
know that the Lord needs Hermana Villa and I here in Jardines for some great
reasons! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So I won’t have time
to you all my stories until next week, but I just want y’all to know that I’m
happy. Sometimes I struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes I
doubt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But overall, I am happy and
learning and growing so much. On Monday I was pondering a lot about some
letters I had received and also our President’s weekly message to us as
missionaries. I felt the Spirit so strongly and I know that I need to change. I
started to talk with more and more people in the street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started to look for more new investigators.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was constantly praying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The minute a negative thought entered my
mind, I started praying. As I read again this morning the talk about
consecrated missionaries, I felt inspired and know that the Lord has a plan. I
have to be patient and diligent and just keep working until we start seeing
results. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

rougher day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had been giving it
everything we had, but just not finding people at home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We arrived home exhausted!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I showered to just shake it off. I had a good
cry and I remember thinking, I can’t do this ... not with my own weaknesses,
and with how small the ward is, and my companion .. these things are combining
for such a slow progress of the work, I just can’t. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went to sleep listening to “I Know that my
Redeemer Lives” and it was the first thing I played Sunday morning when I woke
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During church, I felt the Spirit so
strongly and as I took the sacrament.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
felt so much peace. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

this story so that you worry or anything like that. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to share it because sometimes we all
think we can’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My mom jokes that being
a follower of the Savior is hard work, and it is so true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is hard and it requires sacrifice on our
part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all have those moments when
things don’t seem to be going the way we want them to, or moving fast enough in
the direction we want them to move.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
might even have a good cry in the shower and feel like giving up, like we can’t
do it anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not true. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the Savior, we can. I know it! I feel it
even when sometimes I forget. I love this gospel and the peace it brings. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He knows the path and He will guide us along,
if we just trust Him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Today Hermana Lopez and I went to the National Park here! It’s
absolutely gorgeous!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ahh, it was so
peaceful and just pretty. As we were leaving, these two goons come up to us and
start talking and cracking jokes and well we take a picture with them. My
companion goes first and says, Well, you guys can’t touch me. They say ohhh no
problem, and I take the picture. Then they say ohhh now the guerita. We go to
take the picture and they say, just checking, touching or still no?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I say nope, still no touching! Ha! Ha! It
made us laugh!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such a refreshing P-Day
today! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This picture is from our Family Home Evening from last week! It
was pretty special. We talked about the Atonement and wrote cards with real
life situations and every card ended with the question … How can I apply the
Atonement? We put situations like my kids don’t listen to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t get along with someone at
church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel like I never have enough
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m scared to confess a sin to the
bishop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stuff like that, and it was so
cool listening to everyone talk about how the Atonement could help them in that
specific situation. We ended with the church’s Easter video and it just turned
out great! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Big thanks this week for my huge Easter package! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Elders had a total freak out and robbed me
quite a bit, but the shoes are great and I think I’m all set! Thanks to the
Beehives for my hearts and also to Sister Cohen for her letters. Thanks to Leah
Stonely and also the Tolman’s for their letter too! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Fun fact ... About 5 or 6 people have told me how easy it would
be to learn a third language because they say I’ve got Spanish down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the Lord is trying to tell me
something. I had never really thought about it, but I feel like maybe I should
look into a third language when I get home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We found some new investigators this week and we are hoping to
see some real progress in them now that everyone is coming back from
vacation! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">One morning I was studying in the book “Our Heritage” about all
of the prophets since Joseph Smith. I felt the Spirit so strongly. They were
all faithful men that turned their lives over to God. They radiated the love of
our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They served with all they had and I know
that they are and were prophets of God. I was filled with the Spirit of the
Restoration and I know it’s the truth. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is such a blessing to have a loving Heavenly Father who sends us living
prophets. I just want to hear and follow their every word! I know that it’s the
voice of our Heavenly Father that we listen to. I always need to see every
session of conference! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We tried to share this testimony and help people to understand
the importance of attending conference this week. We visited a less active
family on Saturday night and we talked about what I wrote above. The mom shared
powerful testimony of the prophets and especially about general conference.
They were so excited to go and they went! It’s the first time they attended
church in about a year. They can be such a strong family in the ward and we’re
hoping to see them fully activated soon. They taught me a really important
lesson. My testimony can be so strong, but if I stop doing the little things
every day, I too could end up inactive. Testimony doesn’t save us, we have to
be constantly exercising our faith. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">On Saturday we ate after the Elders and were flying out of the
members house to find a taxi and make it back to conference. We found a taxi
and jumped in and my companion says, “Hermano?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was the non-member husband of a recent convert. We started talking
and invited him to conference and on Sunday morning HE WENT!! We were so
exciting and we’re going to start working with him this week! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Okay now for the good stuff...GENERAL CONFERENCE. I love it, and
I always feel kind of sad when it ends. It was also my last General Conference
as a missionary. Weird. I think President Packer’s talk was my favorite. I felt
like the whole world stopped moving and it was just me and him talking and wow.
Then the tears came and I imagined Sister Rawe in the sealing room and there is
just nothing more important to me than my future family. Linda K. Burton’s talk
was also so good! I loved all of this talk about families!! I think the Lord is
really worried about his families. Our family should be the most important. We
have to have Family Home Evening, and read the scriptures and pray together.
David A. Bednar’s talk was also great. I loved President Monson’s words about
the importance of temple attendance. As I listened to Brent H. Nielson, I
thought a lot about my family members who no longer attend church and what I
can do to help them come back. I dreamed about them in white shirts and ties in
a church building I didn’t know, but I know it can be true! Jeffrey R. Holland
is my hero and always will be. I know that every single one of these leaders are
called of God. There is so much that I liked and I can’t even fit it into one
letter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">So before conference I felt like I just wasn’t doing all that I
needed to do like I was still lacking here in the mission field. I was praying
about how I could just really lose myself here and truly give 100%. How can I
be inspired and motivated my last three months? I felt like I was thinking a
lot about the future and it still isn’t time yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So after all of these prayers, conference
starts and the whole first session is about marriage and family and I started
thinking, Padre Celestial remember how I can’t think about this right now?
Remember how I need revelation about things that are going to happen before I
get married, while I’m still a missionary? Saturday evening my companion and I
were talking a lot and I realized that in a way, He was already starting to
answer me. He wants me to focus on families here. He wants me to help families
understand and apply the Atonement. He is so worried about his families and He
needs the missionaries to help them, to teach families, to unite families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week we started teaching so many people
that have family members that are members. On Sunday I received a little more
of my answer. The Lord needs me to be here, centered on Him. All I do, say,
think, write, should be centered on Him. The Lord promised me when I was set
apart that my testimony would change lives. Now is the time to come to know Him
even more so that I can powerfully testify that He lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">I
am so grateful for my testimony of the Savior. I am grateful that He lives and
loves me, that He gives me strength beyond my own. I love my mission. I love
the people here. I love feeling the constant need to be better. I love
stretching myself and growing. I feel like little by little, I’m becoming who
the Lord needs me to be. I love you all and hope that you set goals from
conference and that over these next few months we can read and reread the talks
and truly follow their words. </span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We ate with the Lozano family this week and her husband spent a
ton of years in the United States. As we sit down to eat, I see A1 sauce on the
table and starting telling her about Rach and the A1 sauce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They start laughing and mentioning all of the
American things in the house because of her husband...then she sends me home
with a bottle of A1 sauce! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

he can prepare himself to serve a mission. He needs a lot of help, but he’s
great at drawing and drew me a picture of Ana!! His mom is also the sweetest
and she comes with us on visits a lot, and she gave me this white chocolate
basket! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This is Hermana Equihua. She is about to hit one year as a
member and is the sweetest. She went to the temple for the first time last week
and last week we ate with her one day. Her son, Victor, is 5 and absolutely
adorable. As we eating, he wants to play a board game and we start playing and
I beat him 2 times. He gets all fired up and starts playing with Hermana Lopez
instead. We invite them to the Noche de Cine and they say yes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Victor tells me, we can be friends but
tonight, I need to play with my other friends and not with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After a few more minutes he comes back and says ... well, it would
probably be better if I played with you tonight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">A few hours later, we all show up in the
chapel and start watching The Testaments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Victor is not the most quiet kid and is all over the place and somewhere
along the way, I turned into a human pillow. We’re watching the movie and he
says, “Did you see??” “Did you see!! Jesus isn’t on the cross anymore!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s okay! He’s totally okay now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the part where I
get a little teared up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the movie,
the Elders ask for comments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After they
see I’m teared up, they call on me first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s just that, kids get it. They always get it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In every house we go to, the kids are the
first who naturally respond to the Spirit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s Semana Santa here this week and there are tons of crosses and they
reenact the crucifixion and it’s so focused on His death. I love that kids get
it, He lives! I love the week of Easter. Also, I kind of felt like a mom and
that was cool too. I love kids. I am so excited to be able to have my own kids
and teach them about Jesus and well it’ll just be cool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">After the movie he says he’s going to teach me how to run.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That would be the video, if it makes it
through!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m pretty sure people here
think I’m nuts! Crazy white girl!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Whatever it takes to make that kid laugh! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This week we got to go to the General Women’s meeting! Awesome
right? I love General Conference! I loved the video with the families singing.
I was such a boob! Then the other family video starts and it was all just so
centered on families. I hope it’s the Lord’s plan that I get to have my own
family. I feel so excited to center my home on Christ, to put him in the primer
lugar and just struggle and pray and work it all out in this crazy earth life.
We need to serve! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We got to visit the Ramirez family this week. They are active
members. The daughter is divorced with a 6-year old son.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The daughter’s husband is an ex-missionary
and they were sealed in the temple, but he just kind of stopped living the
gospel and well, they got divorced. The mom reminds me so much of our mom in
about 20 years. She is hilarious, so loving, and gives everything that she has.
She also says things like they are and is always trying to raise the bar in the
ward. Her daughter is pretty stressed with her calling and we were trying to
find ways to help and support her. They are an incredible family. They don’t
have a lot, but they give all that they can. They don’t complain. They live the
gospel a hundred percent and get a little frustrated when others don’t get it.
They are so strong and I felt like I was in my own house with them! It was just
a special experience and come what may, the gospel helps us and we can be
strong. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">The truth is ... this week we walked a lot and didn’t really
find anybody!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not the less actives, not
investigators, not new people, nobody.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was getting a little frustrated and I think the Lord wants me to learn
patience. He just wants me to trust Him and wait on Him just a little bit more.
One day I was pretty frustrated because we had four hours with a member and
didn’t find anyone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It always makes me
feel bad when members take time to work with us, and then we struggle to find
people during that time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We decided to try and visit a recent convert and we found her!
We started studying Mosiah 24 with her and it talks about how Alma and his
people waited on the Lord. They trusted Him and were able to patiently bear
their load, happily and willingly submitting themselves to the will of the
Lord. I started to feel the Spirit so much and it was just as much as a lesson
for me as it was for her! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I am starting
to figure out how you and dad can just teach a class at the last minute!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re in Gospel Principles on Sunday and the
bishop calls us out of class. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermanas,
he says, we forgot it was 5th Sunday and didn’t assign anyone the lesson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you give the 5th Sunday lesson? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our jaws about hit the ground, um, sure Bishop
está bien. We were studying for about 10 minutes about autosuficiencia ... I
don´t remember how you say that in English and we give the lesson! Oh the
adventures here!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">When we went to church on Sunday, I felt even more worried with
the ward. I just felt like it was all a huge weight, like there is so much work
to be done and I didn’t even know where to start. My head starting hurting and
it was just a moment of overload! As we took the sacrament, I started to
remember all that I had studied this week about the Atonement. I started to
feel that it was the Lord’s work. He knows the ward and He knows who He called
here. He has a plan. I just have to lean on Him more. I have to trust Him. I am
so grateful to be learning these lessons now, to be learning about the Atonement
and how to apply it now. It’s awesome. It’s hard, but I am so grateful for
every experience that helps me to learn. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This is Adelaida and her daughter Ofelia. They’re less active
members, but we have really been working hard with them. They are a sweet
family and they went with us to see “Conozca a los Mormones” this week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She reminds me a lot of Megan and we stopped
to buy some cookies before entering the Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I bought some and she bought some and then we shared!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her mom loved the movie! It was a good night!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This is the new teaching record for Trinidad! She’s a new
investigator that we found this week and she is incredibly prepared! She told
us that the day we talked to her in the street she felt completely overwhelmed
and she was losing it, she was losing hope. She said she felt something when we
talked to her, and she just had this smile as we taught her. She accepted a
baptismal date and wants to learn. We asked her to say the closing prayer and
she kneels down and jumps right in, Padre Celestial, praying perfectly! We are
so exciting to keep working with her! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">The beautiful lady in red is Mayra ... aka Natalie’s Mexican
twin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is absolutely hilarious. She
jokes just like Natalie and they have about the same age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She cut my hair today and wants to dye it
red.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s a doll and she goes to church
every once in a while, but the sad part is, she lives in the Elder’s area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Really, she’s the best! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This beautiful family is Hermano Mike, his wife Claudia, and
their daughter Natalia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mike is the one
that speaks English! He grew up in the United States.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We visited them on Friday and we invite his
wife to participate too. She says sure and sits down, TOTAL SURPRISE!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We start teaching about how we can be cleansed
from sin and faith. Hermano Mike is crying and saying he wants to change and
his wife gets a little teary eyed too because they have some pretty strong
marriage problems and it was just awesome. Hermano Mike tells us, “Do you
understand you’re trying to save one of the devil’s captains, one of his head
guys?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You really don’t understand who
you’re trying to help.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt
completely shocked because Hermano Oscar told us the same thing. It brought
back so many memories in that moment ... angry dad, broken marriage, family
problems, but so much desire to change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I love helping people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love
seeing this hunger and strong desire to turn it around. So we invite them to
church and Hermano Mike says I’m definitely going, I need to go to church. His
wife says I’ll see what I can do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">We stopped by on Saturday too and Hermano Mike with his firm yes
and Hermana Claudia saying that she’ll see what she can do to be there. Sunday
morning we arrive at church. It’s 10, then 10:10, then 10:20, then Hermano Mike
shows up, with his tie, his wife in skirt and heels, and his 9 year old
daughter is a beautiful dress, and we are practically squealing! And then they
stay the full 3 hours! They are such a beautiful family, and ahh, we are so
excited to be working with them! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We had our zone conference with President this week, and it was
incredible! I feel so blessed to have Presidente Camarillo as our president. He’s
a good egg! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked a lot about the
importance of prayer and how we can better help people develop the habit of
sincere prayer. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We practiced a lot and
we saw incredibly results in our teaching this week! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our investigators are praying more and it’s
sincere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’re asking questions and it’s
absolutely awesome! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This week the church will be starting a new initiative kind of
like the Christmas one, “Él el la Dádiva” … but this one is “Gracias a que Él
Vive.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we watched the video, I felt
the Spirit so strongly! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that He
lives. I fall, but I feel hope, peace, and it’s an incredible feeling. As I
watched this video, I felt an impression that there are truly prepared people
here, people are looking for Him. I feel that we are going to have some great
experiences with this video! Make sure that y’all are sharing it too! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">I don’t remember if I told y’all about Hermano Daniel or not,
but he lives super close to us and makes bread, and always gives us free bread.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He’s an investigator that expresses the desire to change, but lacks the
acting part, and his family doesn’t really want to participate when we go and
it’s been pretty up and down with him. On Saturday we were walking by and I
realize his car is out front, I felt like we should visit him. I tell my
companion, hey his car’s out front, want to see if he’s home? She’s a little
doubtful, because well, he’s almost always home alone and we can’t visit him
without another hermana. But we decide to knock and his daughter tells us he’s
home. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He comes to the door and tells us
his wife is home too. We are completely shocked at this point and start to sing
and pray and share a message. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We invite
his wife and she says, with a little tone, “No! Gracias” and and shuts the
bedroom door. We start talking about prayer and he says he’s been praying a lot
because they are thinking about splitting up. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We keep talking and then his wife comes out,
and says, well the talk interested me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha!
Ha! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We testify of the gospel and how
much it blesses families and how much the restored gospel is the only thing
that will help them be happy. She tells us that she’s pretty attached to her beliefs
and that it will be really hard for her to listen to new things, but she wants
to try it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She wants to listen when we
teach her husband and says that eventually she’ll go to church. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so awesome!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Continuing with prayer stories! We visited our recent convert
family. I think they were baptized in Febuary, before I got here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dad doesn’t go to church anymore because
he’s still drinking coffee and says that the church hasn’t helped him like he
thought it would and he feels like he just keeps sinning. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked about faith and it was a really
special lesson and we ask him to say the closing prayer. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all kneel down and start to wait.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His littlest daughter says, Dad hurry up I’m
tired!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then his teenagers start
laughing, then his wife, “why is this so hard for you!” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we just keeping waiting!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After about 7 minutes, he starts, Padre
Celestial. He prayed for strength to stop drinking coffee, for his family and
his job, and he tells Heavenly Father why he’s not going to church and how much
he wants to go and prays for strength so that he can go and it was so pretty.
We were numb from the waist down, but if we just wait, the spirit touches them
and they pray!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">My dear sweet family!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">I love you all too much! But really, I am so incredibly grateful
for the family that I have and I hope that you’re all doing well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">It rained the whole week! Nonstop starting Tuesday afternoon! I
have never seen rain like this! Some days I left prepared ... the day in green
was the day I thought, Nah!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not
going to rain, and then I got soaked! Ha! Ha! Not to mention, we had a
sacrament meeting attendance of thirty people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">On Tuesday I had exchanges with Hermana Peña. She has 5 months
in the mission and is from El Salvador! She is a doll! We had a good time and
leaving our meeting with the bishop, it starts pouring rain. We had umbrellas,
but the feet were just soaked as we crossed rivers and nobody was opening up!
We visited one of her investigators that was supposed to get baptized last
week. As we get to her house, the power goes out. We were giving a lesson with
cellphone flashlights and watching our breath because it was so cold! It was
definitely an experience I will never forget! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Fun fact!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s Friday and
we’re walking to an appointment. The phone rings. Hola Elder como está? It was
the Zone Leaders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermana Rawe you’ve
been chosen to sing on Uruapan Idol.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Wait, what??!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No that was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a joke, but really, you are going to sing in
our Zone Conference with President.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again, what??!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes Hermana!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With how many people? Three others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ummm, that means you can actually hear me
sing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Okay Elder, gracias. This is the
part where I ask you guys to start praying for me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Singing for converts in baptisms is way cool
… Singing in front of other missionaries, not so much! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We visited a member’s house this week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s less active.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her daughter is a recent convert, and her two
sons are also less active. They’re 19 and 20 years old and involved with drugs
and well they don’t go to church anymore. I asked my companion if she had ever
taught them and she said no.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being my
stubborn, sometimes fearless self, we strike up a conversation and end up sharing
a message with one of the boys (the other one wasn’t home).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we sing and pray and start talking, he
gets super nervous. Then he starts talking a lot about how he knows that God
has a plan for him, He knows God lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I think I´m nervous because I haven’t talked about this with anybody for
a long time. It makes me feel things I haven’t felt in a long time. I miss
church. I know I need to live the word of wisdom and the law of chastity. We
felt the Spirit so much and it was incredible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He’s a future missionary and future Melchizedek priesthood holder. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We also visited Hermano Mike some more this week. He’s accepted
a baptismal date and it really excited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He’s reading the Book of Mormon and wants to repent. He says he just
feels it’s the truth. He says he feels like he’s found what he’s been looking
for. He says he’s the happiest he’s been in a long time and he just wants more.
He’s so special!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">On Friday we had such a cool experience. Well as you saw, I left
the house unprepared and at about 7:30 all of our plans fall through, and we
decides to look for new people to teach. It is raining so hard and then it
starts hailing. We are literally soaking wet and we went to about 11 houses.
It’s now 8:40 and we go to another house. The young lady answers and tells us
that the person we’re looking for doesn´t live there. We introduce ourselves
and ask if we can share a lesson with her. She invites us in and we start
getting to know her. I felt like I should ask her if she had a question that
she had always wanted to know the answer to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I felt so weird asking that and she was thinking for a long time.
Finally she says, well actually, I have a lot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For example, is there really life after death? We saw her so interested
and we are pumped to work with her this week! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">We found another new investigator this week named Rosy. She has
Lupus but she has so much faith that God will heal her. She is pretty involved
in the Catholic Church but she decided to listen to us. She has a desire to
know the truth and she is so sweet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This week we just worked hard. I feel a new inspiration or
actually I don’t know what to call it but I felt it. I felt urgency as we
worked. I felt like I didn’t want to lose even a little bit of time. I have
been focusing so much on the questions I ask.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I think it’s a worldwide weak point for the church. I think sometimes we
just teach and teach ... as missionaries, as Sunday School teachers, in our
homes, in Young Women’s, everywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are so accustomed to teach and teach and we don’t ask thought provoking, Spirit
receiving questions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a lesson I
learned this week that my whole life I want to listen, to really listen to what
people are telling me, and teach based on their answers. It’s a secret wish of
mine to teach the youth after my mission! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">My companion is Hermana Lopez. She is from Oaxaca and is an only
child. She just finished her training.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We are working well together and getting to know each other more.
However, I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss Hermana Gonzalez just a
little bit … or a lot a bit!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This week I’ve been getting settled in. I’m not very good at
changes, and sometimes you just miss people, but I have been working hard and
getting to know everyone here. I realized this week just how much I love
meeting people. I saw so many members open up and my companion told me that
they were members that didn’t really like them too much beforehand. We have a lot
of work to do here gaining the confidence of the members! I just feel a strong
desire to serve and strengthen the families here. My mission has taught me so
much about how much the members too need to be strengthened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have a lot of work to do! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Church on Sunday was awesome! It’s a tiny ward and about 70 or
80 people attending every week. This week one of our investigators Marisela,
went to church! She has twins, Ricardo and Delia. They’re 6 years old and she
is just stressed out. We see her pretty frustrated but trying to find answers.
We taught her about keeping the Sabbath Day Holy on Saturday and we felt the
spirit so strongly as we talked about the sacrament. She says, “I need to go¨
and there she was on Sunday and she stayed the 3 hours and loved it! We are hoping
to see her progress a lot. Oh and Ricky was REALLY hungry after three hours of
church and had a little bit of bad attitude for the picture!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha! Ha!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">The other family that went to church is the Espino family. The
parents are recent converts from December I think, but the dad doesn’t want to
go anymore and the kids never wanted to get baptized. I’m kind of doubting they
were prepared before being baptized, but they are also so special. We have a
lot of work to do in this house! Their teenagers are kind of nervous and shy
and giggle a lot, but on Saturday we also taught about keeping the Sabbath Day
Holy and we felt the Spirit a ton. The oldest likes going to church and was
convincing her younger sister who was scared they would ask her questions and she
wouldn’t know the answer. The mom with her three daughters arrives at church
and everyone went to their own classes happy! Their youngest is Paola and she
is just precious. She almost always says the opening and closing prayer just
because she likes too. She loves the church and I think she encourages her
whole family! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">There are so many great people here, but I have to tell y’all
about Mike. I still haven’t taught him, but this week was incredible. Since
Monday we were looking for him … calling, going to his house, everything, and
nothing. On Friday we finally found him. He comes outside, in front of his
house, and I introduce myself and we start asking how he is and he starts
explaining, and then says, “I just can’t express myself in Spanish” and starts speaking
in perfect English. He tells us that he is in a deep depression, like it’s just
darkness and there’s no light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He feels
like he’s falling and falling and wants to take somebody’s hand but there’s no
one there. He says he’s a black sheep that has wandered away from the shepherd
but he wants to find Him again. He’s doubting that God loves Him. He’s crying
through all of this and don’t forget he is speaking in English!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He says, ”I’m sorry!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I barely know you, and I’m crying so much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I just feel you care, like I don’t know,
I just feel like you really care about me.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where I start crying too. I started testifying
of our Heavenly Father’s love. He says, “I want to change my life now, not
tomorrow, not next week, now. I know I just need to open the book, it’s all
there if I just open the Book of Mormon. On Saturday we stopped by to give him
a list of uplifting scriptures but only his wife was home. My companion had
told me that she didn’t want to listen, but we started chatting with her. She
too opened up that her mom died two months ago and it was just hard, that her
whole marriage has been hard. She agreed to listen to us with her husband on
Tuesday and we are incredibly excited. We see the true possibility of them
progressing as a family!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

am happy to be here ... sad and a little nervous as I realize how fast my mission
is passing by, but happy. I’m not perfect and I mess up everyday, it is so hard
for me to accept the Savior’s Atonement sometimes, but I love Him and our
Father in Heaven, and this gospel. I know that I cannot be happy without living
it. I can’t be happy without being obedient. I want so badly to make our Father
in Heaven proud. I want to live with Him again. I want to realize how short and
important our earthly life is. I just want to be righteous, I just want to give
the best of me and help everyone here to feel the Savior’s love. I want to
represent Him well. I love you all too much and hope that you’re happy! </span></div>
