Estoy.... can..... sado......

HEY THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I am really sorry that I haven't been writing very much. My life has turned crazy and there are so many things in my head and well, I am losing my self in the work. And I love it.  I have been learning so much as a missionary and as a servant of the Lord. But little by little I am learning it. Right now I never thought I would know the things I know or be doing the things I am doing a year ago. My mission has changed completely and for the better. Right now as Zone Leader we are working like crazy people. My body hurts, but my spirit is full. Seriously, every night I get home and I just hurt, everything hurts. haha. But that is just the fruit of our labor and we will find rest for our souls.

In the Zone we are working very hard to teach many many lessons and contact many many people. And well this week the Zone contacted 1000 people, or 1000 people had the chance to accept the true gospel. It is an achievement that shocks me and makes me really happy.

But I am really good mom. I am happy and skinny. I have lost a good 10 pounds here in Tahua. Haha.

Right now we are working with a lot of families and they are really interested in the Church. It's really hard to for them to come to church but we want to work with them and help them progress.

We have a baptism planned for next Tuesday. Its of the brother I told you about that finally decided to get baptized. I am super excited for him!!!!

The zone is really progressing and we are working really really hard to have more success and better results.

Really mom I am losing  myself in this work. I have never been so determined and excited to work and have success. I am hungry. I want the success.

I am seeing many many miracles and many many blessings. But I have to keep working and I have to keep improving, I cannot rest, and I cannot be satisfied. The Lord everyday wants more and more of us and we have to give him that, we have to try our hardest to be the best we can be. That is our quest, perfection.

Mom, I am so grateful for everything that you and the family do for me and all the missionaries. You are a great support for me and I just hope that you know that I am fine and growing every single day, maybe not upwards, but inside.

I hope you   have a great day and I hope everything goes well in your week.

If you have any questions or something just ask me!!!!

I love you!!!!!!!!

Por cosas pequñas y sencillas, se realizan grandes

Hey there family McIff!!!

How is everything!!! I hope it is great because today I am feeling good!!! I have a new companion named Elder G., he is from Honduras and he has 13 months in the mission. I am now training him as a Zone Leader. I am super happy that he is my companion because we were already together in Magnolias for six months and we are pretty good friends!!!! With my last companion I had a super hard time. He really damaged my spiritual progress and really discouraged me. So now I am really grateful that I have my buddy as my companion so that he can help me and help the zone. I am super excited to increase my spiritual power and guidance and I know that this change is going to be a really good one.

This week was a really good week as well. We have an investigator named A.. He is the only non member in his family and the patriarch. This week he decided to be baptized. The missionaries had worked with him a ton and helped him out a lot and now we are just reaping or their labors. He will be baptized on the 21st and we hope that the whole family can come to church and participate in the blessings of an eternal family. His kids are super less active and so we have to work with them as well. But am just so happy that this family has received so many blessings and they taught me that little by little great things can be achieved.

This week I hope to learn a lot from reading the scriptures and boost my spiritualness once again. I know that the Lord loves me and wants to help me, I just have to let him.

I am now receiving a lot of ideas and help from the Lord to help my zone and progress the work here in the Zone. We are seeing a lot of fruits and results from our work and we are really proud of the Zone right now. But we can't be satisfied!!! We can always be better!!!! We can always do more!!!!!! We have a big focus in the Zone of contacting three families everyday and it is helping the zone. We might not teach these families but It helps us have the mission spirit and really just makes us happier. Even if they don't progress, I feel good sharing the gospel.

I hope that this week you guys can share the gospel and help others have more faith in Christ and progress to a  more perfect way.

I love you guys so much and how you have a great week living like and following Christ!!!!

I love you guys!!!
