Okay so this week was pretty amazing. like really we had two amazing crazy experiences this week. and I learned when we pray sincerely He will answer our prayers! Like really He will we started to pray for people to contact us and for us to recognize more of the people in our comino! And honestly we had so many people contact us this week it was so crazy! Especially two experiences!. We were in our apartment studying and we were just practicing teaching lesson 1, and all the sudden someone was knocking on our door and we were like what why is someone knocking on our door. We hesitated and came to the conclusion to open the door. It was our neighbor and she said i am ready for the class and we were like the class?? What class and she just said I am ready for you guys to teach me . . and we were hesitant but we went to her apartment and taught here the restoration and practiced with a real person! This was so crazy and she wants to here more! I learned that when we pray no matter how crazy it is He will answer our prayer He will always provide a way for us to do all thing for us to have the ability to do all. and I know this to be true with everything in my heart! I know through God all things are possible, and if we put all we have in Him we will be able to do all things! I know that through God all things are possible we just always need to put our faith in him because he needs us to help him share this gospel! Because He wants and needs all of His children to know the truth! It is so sad here when people don't know the truth that people never knew how to pray and never knew someone was listening. This makes me sad, and also reminds me of why I am here! I know that through God we can do all things! First step is to put our faith in Him we just need to remember that! I love you guys so much thank you for always sharing your example to me you guys are so amazing and I love you guys so much! Thank you for all that you do and for all your prayers and all the spirit you guys really are so amazing! Thank you for everything and I hope that you guys have an amazing week and is filled with miracles like my life is here I love you guys keep pushing forward and staying strong because I know when you do you will be blessed for that which you do I love you so much and hope all you guys stay safe and have the best week every I love you guys!

es verdad!
te amo mucho!

Okay this week I have a new companion she is blonde as well and is also from Logan Utah! So that is pretty awesome! Rubio is the word for blonde and we here it a lot here she decided to let me paint her hair so that will be awesome hahah

Anyways this week was crazy needing to plan for myself , and all to learn to just do everything solo of course with her help but she didn't know where anything was so I kinda had to do everything so that was the hardest part! But I know it will all work out for the best!

Our investigators are progressing and we are finding new people to teach. The hard part is finding them in there homes! That is the most difficult part I think! We have the people that want to hear us just need the time to find them so that we may teach them! 

This week as a whole went very good the days were long but the week itself went fast! I know when I feel alone that God is here and that Jesus Christ felt how we do how we did I know that if we do all that we can do he will do the rest!

The change was hard like really hard with a new companion and it shouldn't be but I know that through God all things are possible, we just need to keep pushing forward and always smile and keep pushing and praying with faith sincerely and he will answer us I know this with all of my heart! things are hard but I know that through God all things are possible we just need to push through those hard times and he will help us!

My companion now is really good her name is hermana leonhardt and no one can say it.  I can't even say it before people had a hard time with my name but now with her name so thats awesome! 

I know that we can do all things we just need to pray with sinceridad! It may seem hard to believe that someone is listening but remember that he is listening and will always be listening and always has you just need to remember that! I know that God always puts us in peoples lives that we need to help or tambien that need to help us we just got to embrace that part!

I love you guys so much you guys are so amazing I love you guys so much I hope all is going well and such!

keep smiling,

pushing forward,

thinking positively,

loving all

and I know you will be blessed!
te amo

This week was good! We visited a lot of people because everyone wanted to say by to Hermana Viega and now she is probably in Antofagasta! So crazy but i learned so much from her! she is the best! I am excited to learn what my new companion has to teach me I know she will teach me a lot! 

But this week we had a stake conference and our investigators who came to church last Sunday came! They have a meta para marriage! so thats good we just want to push it forward so we can baptize her! I know we found her by a miracle and she is the most amazing investigator she is just so ready! I know that she can do all things she can get married and she can get baptized and that she is just ready!

I know through God all things are possible we just need to put our faith in him because if we don't we will be lost !It's so hard to see all of these people here lost so many kids tat don't understand who God is and his spirit! I know he is here! He listens! Always I know through him all things are possible we just need to give him everything because as long as we stand up for him he will stand with us! 

My apartment doesn't feel the earthquakes unless the are really strong because it has a strong foundation and the houses mas arriba feel it strong because they are built upon the sand it just reminds me that if we have a sure foundation we will not be moved that we need to give our all and that he will give us something to hold on to! He will always be there you just need to remember He is there!

It was really hard saying goodbye to hermana Viega because I love her and will miss her a lot but I know she is where she needs to be thank you for all of your support that you have been to me always you are so amazing I love you guys so much and hope you enjoy these recordings last night while hermana veiga was packing!

I love you guys so much your so amazing! don't forget it!

and just fotos of a familia y IQUIQUE!!! hahah muy Bacan!

I love you guys!!

Okay so this week was amazing like really amazing we found a GOLDEN investigator like so crazy! We contacted her in the street and learned it doesn't matter who it is we will never find the people that are ready if we don't talk to everyone! God knows who is ready but we don't so we just need to share with everyone whether they are catholic or not! I think everyone here is because they all say when we start to speak ohh I am catholic. . .and then we say we still would like to share our message! But anyways this woman was very good and she invited us to come!  We went and her husband was there and he said ohh I am a member . . and woah! ahh and the lesson went so perfectly and she felt the spirit so strong! I know that through God all things are possible and that if we pray for miracles we will receive them i know that God loves us so much and that through him all things are possible! i know that God loves me so much and will give everything if i give him all!!

just a few things i forgot to share with you about when i first got here to the mission

1. the people here speak really fast.

2. my first Sunday in sacramement meeting a man was speaking and then all the sudden he just started to sing and it was really interesting I turned to my companion and said do people usually do this here and she said no this is the first time ive heard this! so crazy!

3. everyone here always says HELLO HOW ARE YOU? and WHERE YOU FROM 

but they say it with a chilien accent so its funny! hahah

4. ummm there is a gym and a place to wash and dry our clothes in our apartment thats unheard of here!!! 

i think that is all but i just want to bear testimony that if we PRAy SINCER´LY we will receive answers that through God all things are possible we just need to put our faith in him! 2nephi 9:6 says that he has made a way for you to do that which he has commanded you so all the excuses you have are not important i mean they are but the more important thing is to do his will and i know he will give you the time to do all the things that you need to if you obey him!!

i think God knows something that we don't! that he knows things beyond our ability to understand that our heavenly father has much more experience than we and he once was where we are now! his experience wisdom and intelligence are infinitely greater than ours! not only that but he has more compassion and more love and has one clear focus for us to bring to pass mortality and eternal life of man! I KNOW without a doubt he WANTS what is best for us this is why he gives us commandments not because of anything else he wants us to live with him again i know through God all things are possible we just need to put our faith in him! 

i know through him all is possible i love you guys so much and hope that you have an amazing week you guys are really amazing i love you so much keep up the good work you guys are so amazing i love you and hope that you have a awesome week!

te amo!
