I can't believe that this is my last p-day. I feel as if I ended my training about 2 months ago and that I am just about to start my mission again! BUT, I must say that I am so incredibly excited to see you all again! Being on a mission has made me realize just how blessed I am (especially to have so many great friends and family at home to love and support me)! Thank you so much for your prayers, emails, cards, packages and love. I love you all so much and am truly grateful for your friendship.</div>

I would love to share my testimony, but first, I need to share a brief story about an amazing woman named Soñia that really changed the end of my mission. Soñia is a sweet woman whom we are teaching (I attached a pic of us peeling potatoes together:)) that really made me reflect on how incredibly blessed I am and how important it was for us to meet. After talking to her for a few minutes, I came to find out that she didn't know who her parents were (and therefore didn't have a last name). I also came to find out that she doesn't know how old she is, nor what she likes to do to pass the time. Her life simply consists of going to work everyday to have enough money to live. She doesn't have her own family and she doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. I am pretty sure that I am one of her first real friends that prays for her and cares for her and she just made me WEEP that day!</div>

I know that God loves her. I know that he has a plan for her and I know that she will have a very special place in the kingdom of God if she continues to live as she is doing, but even more so if she will learn to accept what we teach her.</div>

My testimony:</div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I have learned so much on my mission, especially concerning the love of Christ and the wisdom in His Gospel. The Gospel is for EVERYONE and if we choose to accept it, we will be able to find a happiness that we have never felt before.</div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Personally, I have been able to see the Gospel change the lives of my investigators, converts and companions, but to me, the biggest miracle of all has been seeing the remarkable change that the Gospel has made in my own life.</div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I have become a much better disciple of Christ, and I understand much more clearly my purpose as a member of this great church. Truly, I know that when we can lose ourselves in the service of others, we ultimately find ourselves.</div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I know that this church is true and I know that exact obedience to its teachings can lead us back to the home of our Father in Heaven.</div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I am so grateful for the time I have had to serve as a missionary, but I also realize that my work has just started and that it is essential that I keep working in the Lord's vineyard to continually invite others to treasure its teachings.</div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

Spiritual-We are currently teaching an amazing woman named Yaneth, and her son, Jostine. They are WONDERFUL and have such amazing spiritual experiences concerning their conversion. The other day, Yaneth told us that she had a dream where my companion, Hna Andreve, and I were teaching her and an angel appeared to her and told her that she needed to listen to "Follow Christ and listen to the missionaries." This was such a wonderful thing to hear after praying, fasting, acting and following the spirit for countless weeks to find the Lord's chosen. We feel so happy and so blessed to be able to teach her and her son. Missionary work is real and God truly loves his missionaries!</div>

Spiritual: This was an amazing week because we really decided to focus on the members in our ward. We were directed by the spirit to visit an amazing woman named Rut Leon who truly needed our help. She and her daughter are the only ones who attend church because her husband and 3 sons have gone completely inactive. We were able to talk with the dad a day later in a family home evening, and the situation is so sad: he doesn´t talk directly to his wife-only to us and his children. He has started to smoke, he doesn't like to spend time in the house and is simply tired. He doesn´t want anything to do with his family, especially with his wife. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
When we visited the wife a day earlier, she was completely distraught and hopeless. By visiting her, however, we were able to help her through reminding her of her great importance as a wife and mother and we were also able to help her husband. </div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We talked to the family about priorities and putting the Lord first, the family second and after, other obligations. We will visit them again this next week and are confident that we will see improvement:)</div>

Cultural: we still don´t have a shower. Sorry to keep mentioning that, but I think it describes the rate at which construction is done in Bolivia. It gets done, but in its own sweet time;) As for right now, we still shower, no worries;) but in a plastic container that we place on the floor so that we don´t end up giving the neigbors a shower too;D</div>

Spiritual: We have an amazing new investigator named, Yaneth and her sweet son, Jostine. Yaneth went to church with us this week and started crying after heraing one of the talks. She asked us after "hnas, did you ask that woman to give that talk just for me?" We told her, "no, but she was asigned that talk by the bishop, who receives divine revelation from God to meet the needs of our ward." It was so cool and we are so excited to teach them more this week:)</div>

She was unsure about her baptism this past week, so we put SO much effort into our lessons, tactics and prayers so that she could still be baptized this week. She was still unsure until Saturday at about 12:00pm when she sent us a text message that she was absolutely decided that she wanted to get baptized. Althought it was CRazY getting everything ready for her baptism in 20 hours, we did it and with our bodies absolutely brimming full of joy and thanksgiving. I LOVE MISSIONARY WORK! I LOVE it when the Lord allows us to see miracles according to our faith and obedience and I LOVE the change that it brings to the lives of others:)</div>

So, we literally COLLAPSED upon returning home without calling our District leader and his companion...so, at 10:25 we awoke to our district leader standing outside of our house with his companion shouting our name in their pajamas to see if we had gotten home...whoops! </div>

Spiritual: We contacted a man named Roger who always works with a smile-I love that:) But really, his life is very difficult. He lived in Potosi (un departamento en Bolivia) but had to move because of the reputation that his violent son had caused him. He loves his son, but he is currently in the hospital with lots of police charges. He now lives in Cochabamba but as a watch guard for cars outside of a restauraunt. He doesn`t receive a salary, but he eats a free lunch and possibly dinner...</div>

THAT is hard! But THAT is the life of a lot of people here and all around the world. Perhaps looking outward, people don't seem to have problems but the reality is that people are HURTING and need the life of the Gospel and the friendship of many to keep smiling.</div>

Spiritual: We had an AMAZING week absolutely full of miracles. We had 11 new investigators again, but really good ones!! I want to mention one: we had made an appointement with a contact who didn't seem too interested, but after a week of not hearing from us, he called us to make sure that we were going to visit him. His name is Gustavo and really, he is like a spiritual sponge! He is super smart, read the pamphlet that we had left him, and told us practically every detail. Although he told us that he doesn't believe he can follow the Gospel path, he also didn't know how to feel the Spirit and get an answer from God. We taught him how to feel it and we have another appointment this next week. We shall see, Gustavo;D</div>

Hola:D</div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week was really great, but it totally FLEW BY! I learned so much, especially from my companion:) Hermana Andreve is the best. She is always laughing, joking around and with a smile. She is an extremly dedicated missionary and I am learning so much from her in the best and most efficient ways. She is from Panama, is 21 years old, likes to play volleyball and loves to tease me about marriage so she always prays for my extremely handsome husband to be;D</div>

Ok, not really, but we were in the hospital for two days because during the first session of General Conference I fainted, haha:D Really, it wasn't anything serious. I had a fever two days prior and the doctor told me that my temperature simply increased rapidly for about 2 hours and determined that that was the cause of the incident....BUT my companion and I think it was simply the Spirit:)</div>

One more funny story: Because I wanted to walk around, I started to get out of bed, but my blood started filling the IV tube and I started FREAKING out, haha:D So, yes, the pictures really show that pretty well, and also my prayer at the end of the day (arms elevated) in order to keep my blood INSIDE of me;D</div>

Spiritual: We contacted an AMAZING woman named Mary (sorry, no pics for this week) who is 27 years old, has some deformities and a heck of a life. She lost her only child a few weeks after he was born, she had an abusive husband, she craves the respect and love of her parents but only feels like a burden and absolutely detested God UNTIL she talked with us during Pedestrian day. She told us that she wanted to leave but felt SOMEBODY pulling her back to hear more. We later identified that as the holy ghost and an answer from God, and she BEAMED from ear to ear after hearing this. From that point on, her attitude has completely changed and she has been progressing a ton. She asked us what she needed to do to be like us and also what she needed to do to be baptized. She attended church with us for the first time yesterday and was absolutely happy to be there the whole time.</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Despite the miracle that we have been able to see in her, the biggest miracle for me was talking to her mom. She told us that she hadn't smiled sincerely for 7 years and that she has neglected to open her heart to friends (and especially God) for those same long 7 years. I can only imagine how grateful God must feel that His daughter is finally smiling again as well:)</div>

Funny: Hna Garcés saw a baby bird trying to fly in the park and decided to chase it down to hold it...she also obligated us to hold it, but I was a big wus and didn´t want to...long story short, I ended up holding the bird, but after praying (haha) and squeezing it really tightly in my hands.

Also, TONS of CRAZY things have happened this week! Cambios were a bit different because the new girl that arrived is super sweet but it extremely shy (and her trainer was the exact opposite). Because they didn't get along too well, President Montoya assigned us to be her MOTHER:D Hna Renovato and I are so excited but a bit uncertain about how we will still do intercambios with the other Hermanas, but hey:) It is all good and we are going to learn lots of great things being in a trio and serving the other sweet Hermanas in our zone:D</div>

Spiritual: This week really was absolutely crazy and FULL of emotion for all of the sisters that were involved with the cambio to accommodate the new Heramana. But, through the midst of all of the trama, I really came to respect our new president because he was extremely preoccupied about our well-being and showed his love and concern for us every step of the way. I know that he receives divine revelation from God and that he has a genuine love and concern for all of his new hijos y hijas:D</div>

Cultural: We were visiting this sweet old lady named Antonia the other day, and that visit was so eye opening, because it made me realize that there aren't any rest homes here to help the elderly. Antonia is literally blind, but lives by herself (so she does all of the cooking, cleaning, etc.) and in Bolivia, all of the stoves need to be lit with fire.

I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Bolivian Independence Day:D It's crazy, because hardly anyone has their stores open today, everyone has flags adorning their houses and nearly all of the cars are decorated with the Bolivian colors. It is awesome! Also, it's crazy because this last week I completed 1 year in the mission. I definitely don't feel like I have been here for a year, but when thinking about my awesome friends and family back at home, it most certainly does feel like a year, so time is crazy in the mission, haha!</div>

Cultural: We helped our zone leaders change houses because they had tons of mold growing on their wall.

Spiritual: This Sunday was really chaotic, but the chaotic Sundays are the BEST because it is AWESOME to have lots of investigators attend church and it is AWESOME to have the members' trust to receive references. One of the biggest miracles was when we were appointed to a woman who wasn't a member and had just walked in the door. The amazing thing is that she is our investigator but only through a card contact on the street. We came to find out from her neighbors (who are members) that she had gotten all ready by herself and was extremely excited to go to church. It was such a cool experience and we are so excited to visit her this week!</div>

Funny: There was an elder who was in the hospital all week, so I asked him how he was doing and what happened. He proceeded to tell me a long and dramatic story so I kind of zoned out...BIG MISTAKE!! I started thinking about something that my dad always told me when I was sick. He always jokingly advised to "scratch it" which is definitely not the cure for absolutely ANYTHING!! haha:D So, I advised the elder to do the same and everyone started laughing uncontrollably. After I learned the location of the infection, this advice seemed a little less appropriate. AWESOME!</div>
<div style="font-family: tahoma, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The story continues because my companion and I wanted to make sure that he was okay and was improving. So, that night, we sent him a very considerate message "Are you scratching it?" ;D</div>

Spiritual: This week was a very special week. We were able to visit people who, simplemente, needed our time and our help. For example, on Monday we visited 2 very special people: A girl who is 13, wants to believe in God and in the scriptures but is finding it hard to. She works in her family's store every night to collect money, but more than anything, to strengthen her family relations because there is no love or unity;( We also had the opportunity to visit a teenage boy (16 years old) who had not had anything to eat or drink all day because he was worried about his mom who had been abused by his older sisters. </div>

The world is so imperfect. There are incredibly sad things that happen that shouldn't, but we are so fortunate because we have the Gospel of Christ in our lives to lead us and guide us along the rocky paths. It is a message of hope and happiness that can bring us the greatest joy. We just have to choose to follow it!</div>

This week was absolutely incredible. We were able to see lots of miracles and laugh a lot...I sent tons of funny pictures to represent the funny and cultural bullet points por hoy:) I love that the Lord expects us to work hard, but that along the way, He wants us to laugh and enjoy the ride:D</div>

Angelo is a person that just appeared in church during my first week in my new area He came up to us and told us that he wanted to learn more. The things was, we were super shocked because we already thought that he was a member. He was dressed nicely, appeared to be a return missionary, and, from sunday school, we could tell that he already had tons of knowldege about the gospel. We came to find out that he started attending church in his girlfriend's ward for 2 months and exactly 4 weeks after we met him, and on the date we set for his baptism, he got baptized! He truly is incredible and has great goals and intentions for the church. He wants to serve a mission, get a calling, get his patriarchal blessing, get sealed in the temple and, simply grow in his understanding and happiness of the Gospel. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!</div>

<div style="font-family: tahoma, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Ruben is el mayorcito that is in the picture next to Angelo. His son, David (a recent convert who has his mission call to serve in Mexico), baptized him and is very supportive of his son and his decision. What I love most about his testimony is that it is extremely humble and pure. He loves that the church is so supportive of families and desires that the rest of his family can accept the Gospel too! And he, like Angelo, is incredible! He got baptized very quickly (6 weeks after knowing him) and got baptized on the day that we made the goal as well. It felt so good to be in his home, watch his conversion and then watch his baptism. And, as I mentioned above, I just LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY because it is the best kind of service there is to bring others to the level of happiness that they need!</div>

Hola:D<br /></div>
I hope you all had a great week!<br /></div>
Funny: Below is a picture of my agenda. Usually missionaries like to design their planners with pictures of Christ or an inspiriational quote. That is all fine and dandy, but personally when I am sad, I like to laugh. SO, I decided to decorate it with a selfie that my companion took. God didn`t exactly bless her with the gift of height;)<br /></div>
Cultural: We found CHURRRRRRROS:D And, not just any churros, churros with CARAMEL filling. My life completely changed after this moment:D </div>

Spiritual: I really liked a quote that my brother sent to me the other week. He told me that "fear paralyzes and faith frees." I found that to be so true this week and I really worked on simply exercising faith. We made extremely specific plans during the hours in which we didn't have any appointments. For ex: We are working to find a family of 3, so we made plans to pray before knocking on whatever door, and knock on 3 consecutive doors before changing areas. We also made plans to talk about the sabbath day in each contact. We also made very specific plans because that is part of what Christ did. In Matthew 10: 6-8 he specified whom his disciples were to teach, what they were to teach and their objective. And from verses 9-31, he gives them advice on how to find and help people with more efficiency. </div>

Cultural: Bolivia is really great for a lot of reasons, but there are also some sad facts. The girls here tend to get pregnant really young (15-17 years old). It is really sad because usually they have to drop out of school and end up raising a family by themselves. I love kids, but I am OH SO GRATEFUL that I am just serving a mission right now, and not raising a family without an education!</div>
