Week 31

Dear Family,

How are all of you doing!!!?? I pray all is well!! And......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!!!!!!! I love you so much, and am so grateful for you in my life!!  Have a wonderful day!!!!

Well this week not too much happened... so we had changes and now everything is back to normal, we met our zone on friday at zone conference and we only have 6 sisters and 10 elders, it is a super small zone.  But all the people are great and it will be good.

This week we were waiting and hoping that S. and his family would come to church, but it was really frustrating when they didn't show up, so then we went to there house to see what happened, and S. was working, and E. didn't want to come without him and she didn't want to send her kids either. AH! It is a little tough when our investigators don't keep their committments, but I guess now tomorrow we will be teaching them día de reposo.

Something me and my companion decided to do this change is write a list of 42 things together or attributs of Christ and we are working on one every day in the change, because there are 42 days in a change I'm pretty sure.... haha, but it is super interesting.  So these have been the things we have done so far, 1.Obedience 2.Faith 3.Pacience 4.Love 5.Happy.  And it has been really interesting because on each day there has been something testing us in this to see if we can do it, or obey and have the faith.  Day 1 it was a thursday and we had a charla in the church at 8:30 because we couldn't get one before than, so we could be outside of our house until 9:30, well the charla was coming to an end and our investigator was still talking and it was like 9:23 and we are like closing it up so by the time we finish we have like 2 minutes to hurry and get into our house, and we were in right before 9:30.  Day 2 we were walking and my companion lost her scriptures so we trusted and had faith that we would find them, and really it ended up that she had left them in the house ha.  Day 3 we had sisters conference in Pan de Azucar and we didn't start for a long time and then had a really long bus ride on the way back with lots of school children, but our patience was tested and everything worked out. Day 4. Love.  Well when our investigators didn't come to church we really just wanted to give up but we thought about this and remembered all the Christ has done for us, and that he showed us the greatest of love when he gave his life for us. and now, today Day 5! Happy.  Well this morning I was studying about this and how we have the Plan of Happiness so that we can be happy, and that keeping the commandments and following everything that Christ has given to us that we can be happy, and I read the talk by President Eyring

 ¨To My Grandchildren¨ and I really like this quote ¨We may be insignificant and contemptible in our own eyes, and in the eyes of others, but the truth remains that we are the Children of God, and that He has actually given His angels- invisible beings of power and might -charge concerning us, and they watch over us and have us in their keeping.¨

God loves each and everyone of us, and no matter what we do His love is always here, and he has given us angels to protect and watch over us, and we mean the world to him. His love for us is infinite.

I love you all so much and I am so grateful for the knowledge of the gospel and that I am here being an instrument in the hands of God to give that knowledge and the hope that we can be with our families forever to everyone.  I love  without a shadow of a doubt that his is the true church.  God loves us.  I know that my Savior lives, and that he gave his life for me, and that he invites every person to come unto him.  I hope that we can each take more time from our days and remember him and love him and apply his atoning sacrifice in our lives.

Love,

Hermana Louder

P.S. I forgot to tell you but kinda cool, this week we are having a two mission conference with Elder Robbins I think it is from the 70 in Malvín!
