o this week we couldn't have a baptism like last week but that doesn't mean that we don't have miracles!(: jeje so yeah this week on sunday we could have the confirmation and the sister who was baptized this last week and it was so awesome!(: I know that God is always here with us in the work so something awesome we did this week is called el rescate the rescue in English. . yeah and its pretty awesome because all the missionaries of Calama got together and we all went on divisions splits with the members of the ward that we were working in so its like missionary force in full power and its awesome because we found new people less actives and everything and we could clean up the list of members that we have so that was pretty awesome to work with that(: and to see the importance with working with members because they help so much! I cant explain it to you but the testimony of a member is the key to teaching a good lession!(: 

SO this week we could also see lots of changes in our sector and how we could better focus on the work and work with members and we are trying our best! and its really helping! I can see the difference in the lessions! 

also I got a chance to go on splits with a return missionary and she was super awesome and excited for the work it gave me more excitement to go out and work! I know that with God all things are possible(:

so yeah like always I learn something every week! so this week I could learn how important it is to share my testimony and that if we don't know what to say just to testify of Christ because that is what we know without a doubt that he lives and that he loves us so much it is pretty much the coolest to know that and to know that through him we can live with our families again!(: after this life so precious this concept!(: i know that we can live with our families after this life and that it will be hard but its worth it! the mission is not the easiest thing I've done but i know with out a doubt that i wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't chosen to come here and to listen the the promptings of the spirit that told me i needed to come here! I know without a doubt that God lives and that he loves us so much and that through him all is possible the atonement of Christ made it possible so that we can return to live with him again! i know this and learn more about how we can apply it in our daily lives I love you guys so much and hope you don't forget it! I love you guys and hope that you have a awesome week and don't forget what you know!(: I love you guys tons! hope y'all have a awesome week! you guys are awesome with all the love FROM ME TO YOU(:

March 7, 2016

Yeah so I'm still here loving the mission and all! this week was awesome we could have a family home evening and I could cut the hair of 5 people . . so yeah after that I was tired but it was fun to practice cutting the hair of everyone and everything it was pretty cool I enjoyed it I learned if someone knows I can cut hair everyone would want me to cut there hair, but I just went to cute the sisters hair and I ended cutting her hair the other Hermana and the 2 kids and the husband of the sister so yeah kinda crazy but I love it! its what I love doing so why not??(: so yeah that's the service I offered this week then later i cut another girls hair so yeah it was a fun week! but in the family home evening the hno could share his testimony and really helped me to know how crazy and how we need to take advantage of having a temple close because they talked about how important it is to have goals to go to the temple and its kinda crazy because we are so lucky to have a temple so close that we could go everyday if we want to obviously we don't always have time its just that someone told the story about how a man traveled so far and didn't get to enter the temple but how happy he was that he could spent the afternoon on temple grounds so awesome to know that its so special what we can do in the temple but how strong the spirit is just outside of the temple(: its so amazing I love the temple!! 

So yeah as well this week something I learned is that if we give our all to God that he will put that  part that helps us become who he needs us to be so crazy but its true and I know that with all of my heart that we need to give it our all! I know this is true that if we pray for something and we act we will see results our conference with Elder Bednar. He talked a lot about that and how when we pray we need to put in our part because if we don't nothing will ever happen! this I learned more than ever! I know with all my heart that God will answer our prayers but I also know that if we don't act He cant help us! so the key is in our part to act!! 

Also I got to make pancakes this week for a family home evening that we had and it was awesome we also could help out cleaning the church it was a week of lots of service I love serving its pretty awesome! (: I love it here so much I know that God lives and that through the atonement of Christ we can help us when we need him and he will and is always here for us I know this with all my heart and hope that you guys know that with God all is possible and he loves us so very much I cant express his love for us in this letter but I hope that you guys know it and remember always I love you guys tons and hope you guys have a awesome week! (:
 lots of love from,

Yeah so this week was awesome like always I learn lots just weird I just got my flight plans so that's kinda a weird feeling but that's life right I send you guys them so you know(: so yeah anyways! other than that!(: 

So this week was awesome but really it was a awesome week and there were those ups and downs but I learned lots of patients for myself because I just need to be more patient with myself and with everything because everything wont always go how we want it to go but i know that if it be Gods will that it will be done!(: so yeah this week I have been studying in 3 nefi and I love it so many teachings that I didn't recognize as clearly as I did this time that I passed through it and its so amazing to know that Jesus came and taught the people here in the America's its so amazing and crazy to think about it I know that with God that all is possible and that truth be told that I know that he came here and he could teach these things about how we need to pray and how we will be blessed when we pray to heavenly father in the name of Jesus Christ that our prayers will be answered and the craziest thing someone was giving a talk on Sunday and they were just talking about it and saying how that he lost something and he was praying and wasn't ending in the name of Jesus Christ and how his son said why don't you end in the name of Jesus Christ and it hit him he wasn't ending in his name so he did and he found what he was looking for! so crazy also it speaks a lot about how we need to become like a child and if we do that we can help everyone! so awesome! I know that God lives and he loves us so much! its so amazing to be here and serve the Lord and to know that with him everything is possible with him!(: 

So yeah! thank you so much for all you guys do and I hope that you guys know that I know that God lives and loves us so much and that through God anything is possible I am learning how to love people and so much its crazy! I know that through the atonement of Christ we can return to live with our heavenly father again!(: I love being here its so amazing and crazy at the same time but I am loving it(: thank you for all your support and prayers you guys are awesome(: 

love always la Hermana }
