Week 74

what a great week it has been we baptized perla and her daughter and it was an awesome baptismal service!! usually its kind of stressful baptismal day getting everything ready but this time it was different and i felt really happy and felt the spirit really strong as i was entering in to the water with perla she was really scared and she started crying but as we entered i could feel so strongly that god was pleased with her and that he loved her it was a feeling very strong that i wont forget!! besides that the week was pretty calm we had a zone conference with president and it was really awesome a great conference every time i listen to him i feel the spirit so strong him and his wife are some really great people this conference he talked about a lot of things but he talked about the importance writing in your journal every day and it was awesome i have been really good at writing in my journal i haven't every missed a week but i can do better so i put another goal to write in my journal every day!! its been raining a lot here it gave me a little cold but I'm getting better now!! this week I just wanted to tell you all that i love you and I'm grateful for you and to tell you the importance of fasting its so clear to me how we have baptized people in this area and it really is because of prayer and because of fasting and i know that God loves us and that he is our loving father in heaven and it doesn't matter what situation we are in he knows and that is why he sent his son Jesus Christ to help us through are difficulties and are troubles i always explain the atonement this way... that lots of times through out our life we have lots of weight that is just pushing us down on our shoulders but thanks to Jesus Christ he can make our difficulties and our extra weight go away we just have to accept him and follow his commandments
Love you guys and i love you Anna have a great week with the fam and don't be nervous about anything just be your self but be ready to change and be better cause that's what the mission is going to do help you to be the best self you can!! and I know that there are people waiting for you to get to Colorado and share your testimony so that you can be an instrument in God's hands its a marvelous thing and I'm happy that your going to get to have the experiences!!
