Chile Here I Come!! We
leave to Chile in a couple hours so today is technically our new p-day!
This week has been so good!!! Saying goodbye to people rips your heart
out, but at the same time you are just so grateful to have met them!! The
mission has already been such a huge blessing!! Last night when we were
going home after our devotional, fireworks were going off outside of the wall
and they were super high so we could see them!! It was like they were
sending us off to Chile with a celebration haha we loved it so much!!
Since I just wrote a few days ago this email is going to be super short!
I just want to share my feelings about Jesus Christ with you guys!! I
know for myself that Jesus Christ died for us, was buried, and then was
resurrected on the third day and still lives today!! I love my
Savior Jesus Christ SOO much!! Without Him, my life would be miserable! I
would not be guilt free, I would not have this profound peace in my life, I
would not be able to experience the pure joy I feel everyday, I would not be
allowed second chances, and my life would be so dark. BUT, the BEAUTIFUL
thing about our Heavenly Father´s plan for us is that HE DID provide a Savior,
our oldest brother, Jesus Christ! And because of Him, because of Jesus
Christ, we can have everything that is beautiful and good!! We don't have
to feel despair, helplessness, guilt, heartache, or any other thing that we
don"t want to! Because of Him, because of Jesus Christ, you can feel
a peace and joy in your life that YOU CANNOT HAVE WITHOUT THE SAVIOR!!!!
I PROMISE that you can have it in your life because I have been able to have it
in mine!! ALL of your mistakes can be washed away!! You can have a
clean slate in life and with God!! Don’t you want that?? Come unto
Christ! Do what is required to have His atonement work in your
life!! He can take your burdens and make them light!! He can take
your heartaches and turn them into JOY!! He can clean you from all of
your sins, past and present, and He can transform your life into something
beautiful that you could never do on your own!! I PROMISE you that you
can have this in your life!! EVERYONE who chooses to can have
this!! So I BEG you with every part of me to COME UNTO CHRIST!!
Make the necessary changes in your life so that you can have this peace and Joy
everyday!! He is waiting for you with His arms outstretched and He loves
you! He died for you!! Even if you were the only person to come to this
earth, he still would have come to atone for You!! The atonement is a
very personal thing!! Please let the Savior heal you, help you, love you,
and help you have a fresh start in your life!! This is why I’m on a
mission!! So that I can share this beautiful message with people who sit
in darkness!! I can’t wait to help people come to the Savior so that they
can experience the happiness and peace that has come into my life and will come
into yours and theirs as we run to the Savior! He loves you. Your
Father in Heaven loves you. I plead with you to come unto them.
They are waiting for you and want you to be close to them!! I love you
all!!
