Un Mes de Milagros :)

This month has been MILAGROSO. 

Let's start with a summary. This month:

- I completed half of my mission. 

It has honestly gone flying by. I have LOVED my time here in Ciudad Juarez and I know that this was the mission made for me. Better said, I know the Lord has prepared me for this mission. I KNOW with all of my heart that the prophet receives revelation for the Church and that I have been called of God to serve here. In short, I am very thankful and very happy :)

- I'll have a birthday.

I turn twenty and had the best district to celebrate with me early. 

- We found a wonderful couple from Veracruz and we're going to have a BAPTISM! (Fingers crossed and prayers uttered.)

They are the most wonderful couple. When we first met them, they had a lot of work ahead of them but we knew that they had willing spirits. In three weeks they left bad habits, bad words and gained more love in their relationship and have embraced a happier life. This week they will be married and baptized!! Stay tuned for that ;) 

- My companion completed 18 months in the field. 

Next week she takes her flight to the Dominican Republic and I'll get a new companion. We've been enjoying our last week together and working hard to preach that good gospel to the good people of Juarez. I have learned a lot from her and am so very grateful I got to be her companion. 

- We're going to the temple. 

This Saturday I get the chance to go to the temple for the first time in 8 months and am excited to go to that little place of heaven on Earth. 

This month I have seen the hand of the Lord in my life, in my mission and in the lives of other people. I know that the gospel has the ability to change lives for the better and I have been blessed with the privilege to preach it to the whole world or at least to those who come to Juarez. 

I love you all and I wish you all the best!!

Con Amor,
