Hey everyone!

This week was super awesome because I went and visited all of my old areas!! On monday I went and visited the Ferro Family and it was super great.  it was super great to see them and see some of the families that I taught last year. This week TWO families are getting sealed in the temple, and the President gave me permission to go! So I´m super excited about that!

Sunday I went and visited Santa Fe, my first area, and I visited the Uceda family (that was married and baptized a year ago) and just this last week they went and were sealed in the temple as well. It was so great to see them! They are doing so well and they have changed so much and progressed so much in the gospel. It was wonderful seeing the people that I taught a year ago and how much they´ve grown even closer to the Lord. 

It´s been hard saying goodbye and thinking that I´m down to my last week in the mission field, but I´m trying so hard to stay focussed and use every minute the Lord has given me. The last week in the mission field is just as important as the first or the 30th or the 50th. 

Talk to you all, for the last time in the mission, next monday

Hey everyone!

This week has been super awesome! Fiorella, a girl that we´ve been teaching for almost three months, was finally prepared for baptism! On saturday we had her baptism, and she was SO happy! It was great to see the change that always happens when people make that first covenant with God. 

Not much else has happened this week. I´m just trying to stay focussed and not get stressed about the fact that my life will be drastically changing in two weeks. Today, I´ll be going to visit some families in Bello Horizonte, in my old area, for the last time. I´m excited to see them, but I´m not too excited to say good bye. 

It sure is amazing how fast time goes by. I´m really just trying to stay focussed and be better about using every minute that the Lord has given me to preach His gospel.  One thing that I´ve tried to remember during my whole mission, is, just as Christ came to serve, and not be served, I came to serve God´s children. After the mission, even though I won´t be an official representative of Jesus Christ, I made the covenant at baptism that I would serve His children and be a witness of Him at all times and in all things and in all places. I´m excited to see what opportunities the Lord will give me to be able to serve His children. As members of His chuch, that is a great responsibility that we have. I´ve never had a stronger testimony of visiting and home teaching, and having church callings. I hope we can always seek to magnify our callings and look for other ways to always serve the people in our lives. 

Don´t get stressed and remember the true meaning of Christmas! I hope you can all take time to watch this three minute video about the first gift of Christmas!www.christmas.mormon.org 

Love you all!
