Week 52


Hey family!!! 
Wow this week was so crazy and soo good!! 
First things first, HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!!!  I love you so so so so so much!!!
Random things
-We went sledding on trash bags this week
-We had to buy spikes to put on the bottom of our shoes so we don't die
-I complete a year on Wednesday (where did the time go)
-We traveled to Aysen twice for intercambios and for house inspections (its so pretty)
And that's about all the random things that I can think of.  Oh ya other random thing, our branch president wanted me to say hi to you all haha.
This week we have a baptism and Zone conference.  We are so excited!! We went over the baptismal questions with him yesterday and man.  I have never seen anybody more prepared to be baptized.  My whole mission I have always felt like the people who were so close to baptism weren't really ready to follow the Savior for the rest of their lives.  But as we were talking to him, it was clear to see that he was ready to give his life for the Savior.  After lots of fasting and prayer and prayers of so many other people, he finally made it.  He is ready and we are so so so excited.  He has changed a lot.  Its incredible to see how Christ´s teachings really change people.  I love him so much.
Anyway...the most eventful thing that happened this week was the snow.  It snowed so much and it has been so fun, but so cold.  But we enjoy it!!  Hahah I sleep with a sleeping bag liner, my 0 degree sleeping bag, a hoodie and sweats, and a wool blanket on top of all of that and its still a little cold.  But it will be fun memories am I right? hahah.  I'm so glad that you are all doing well!!  I love you so much!!  Thanks for all your prayers I love you all so much!!  Here is a quote that I like...
Many people hear the word disciple and think it means only “follower.” But genuine discipleship is a state of being. This suggests more than studying and applying a list of individual attributes. Disciples live so that the characteristics of Christ are woven into the fiber of their beings, as into a spiritual tapestry.
I know when we try to develop Christlike attributes that we come to know Him better!!  Choose one and work on it and you will be even happier!! Love you guyssss!!
