Insert Title Here aka when you have written way to many letters and no longer iknow what to title them all aka what happens with a month left in the mission aka AAAAAHHH


This week, we had the great opportunity to wach of little friedn Valeria descend ino thte waters of baptism. It was a cute and fun expereince, more than anything because she is deathly afraid of water and suuuuper shy on top of it all. Not a great combination for a baptismal service, but Valeria had and has a great desire to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and follow in His footsteps, and with great courage, although trembling forom head to toe, she let Elder Barker guide her into the water. After a few minutes of trying and mustering up her courage, Valeria allowed herself to be immersed in the water and was able to be baptized. It was such a sweet experience becasue here is this liitle 11 year old, determination and bravery set in her face, and even though she was terrified and shaking, she knew what she was doign and knew why she was doing it and understood the eternal consequences that this ordinance has in her life. 

As misionaries, baptism is our purpose. We invite all to coem unto Christ, and though the truths and the power the come with the resored gospel of Jeuss Christ, become as a little child as they are spiritually reborn in the waters of baptism. Any missionary who does not understadn ther purpose does not understadn why they are on a mision, nor do they understand what the Lord has called them to do. 

Conversion is not an easy thing, nor an easy process, but nothign that was every worht anythgin came cheap. 

Salvation is worth it. Conversion is worht it. There is no prioce to great, nor sacrafice to grand, because it is our only way back to the presence of our Loveign Father in Heaven, and the only way to be made free through the grace and mercy of the powr of the Atoning sacrafice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

I love you all!!!

Con mi amor eterno,

Burning Spiritually and Physically!

Didn't you just LOVE conference? I feel like I have gotten much more out of General Coonference here in my time as a missionary. It's literally such a highlight and a spiritual fest. I think my favorite talks were from Jeffrey R. Holland, Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Russel M. Nelson, and actually, I can't choose, just all of them. I love what Elder Uchtdorf shared about how to share the gospel, step by step. I also love what was taught about the cvonnection between love and ministering, and I absolutely loved the emphasis on repentace and the Atoning power of Jesus Christ.  Thanks to the goodness of the Bishop, we actually had the opportunity to watch in English usign the computer in the Bishop's office and it was so great to hear the voices of the Apostles and The prophet. It's honestly just so much better when you can actually hear their voice with the intonation and all of that. An boy, was that fun. We might have taken over the office for a short while...
