HOLA!!!! (Week 2)

Dear Family,

This week has been great and gone by so fast. I cant believe P-day is here again! I'm letting you know that I wrote part of this out the night before because last p-day the email was huge and I didn't have time to write anyone else ha! Also I don't have time to read emails so we print them off and I will get them later in the day, and answer the questions next week.

I can't believe I forgot to tell you what was going to happen this past Saturday, it was amazing!!! SO this past Saturday and Sunday I had the opportunity to listen and meet, ELDER HOLLAND! On Saturday we got to leave the CCM and everyone from the north, east, south, and west Buenos Aires Missions came too, we met in a chapel. We listened to other general authorities and then Sister Holland and then Elder Holland.  She talked on her and Elder Hollands scripture, D&C 88:63-68. We need to do the work in the way He wants us to, and keep your eye single to God´s Glory.  Then Elder Holland and pretty much summarizing/ almost exact quotes ha "You are not free to damage this image (missionary) in the church." Be true to it today, tomorrow, and forever. This is Real Life! This is the closest you will come to Real Life. You are appastolic right now. Us as missionaries and general authories: we are tyring to figure out how to save a life.  You are never ever to forget what you felt and what you learned here.  This will be engraved in your sould forever.  It was so funny, he was like I´m just going to say what we´re all thinking "who could walk away from being an apostle" Don´t loose that witness.  Savor every minute of this, it was meant for you personally. D&C 88:33 if you refuse the gift, you reject the giver.  If you ever walk away, if you ever reject his amazing gift of the mission, you reject the giver of the mission.  We need to have true, genuine, deep conversion.  We all need to solve our own problems.  "We care more about what you are, than to tell you what you should do.  I need to be what I am suppose to be. A deeply converted person!

Why is it called "Preach My Gospel"? Three carefully chosen words. Open your mouth and always teache. Gospel-teach and preach what saves.  Nothing short of the gospel can save.  We're going to save every sould. God: "My Gospe¨!" I am only interested in Gods Gospe, His truth.  If you have one ouce of integrity you can be converted! Then he said something like "It´s the most tedious thing if I have to work with a missionary who says I want it my way, the burger king theme, because you can´t have it your way! D&C 50:13-22 22: win win, teacher and taught receiver and edified and rejoice. vs 25 do what he wants, you will chase darkeness away. 28 we can't chase other darkness away if it's in uus.27 I am a possessor of all thisgs righteous. Claim your blessings! We all live beneath our privilege. just read all of D&C 50 I can't touch on everything he said but it was so great! Every mission was hard because Salvation is not eassy. Take up your cross, embrace the atonement.  Take all the mission. You will see great blessings, because you´ll be close to him, what he edid.  It wiill make you more Christ like. Remeber what you are, not what you sawy.  Do it his way, because you believe it, and NOTHING can take that away.

Sorry it's all really choppy, pieces from my journal but they are are really good points, and then on Sunday he came to the CCM (MTC) and talked to us and then we all got to shake is hand!! and literally I imagined that it will be like meeting the Savior, He will greet me with open arms and love.  I can´t wait for that day.

In personal studay I was reading Moroni 8:2-3 and I felt like you guys could have been saying this to me.  You are always there in my heart and praying for me and in my prayers.  Ah random, but sorry I forgot, I will send pictures next week!

Everyone left the CCM excpet for my district and we got mcdonalds ha and all the new missionaries come today so it should be fun.  On tuesday night the lights went out so my district went down stairs and we had like a testimony meeting and all shared why we are out. Then Elder Webber told us something he heard, it's great to know why you came out, but it is better to know why you stayed/ are staying out.

Sorry this is crazy, I LOVE YOU GUYS and I'm always praying for you. I'll try to be more spiritual ha! Love you love you love you!
