This week was crazy as usual and the weather was amazing. It is always perfect around 3pm here! I am glad to hear everyone is having so much fun and is so happy :)
So I am going to start this letter off with some funny stories... so our district boys love scaring me and my companera. Almost every night. So one night this week they kept scaring us and they scared us pretty good. We went home and were kinda on edge already. I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed and all the sudden I hear a scream. So I go out and see my companera is freaking out because there is a HUGE spider in our room. Im talking body as big as a quarter. It was so disgusting and scary haha so of course the first thing we do is take pictures and then all the other girls are in our room by that point. So my hermana has off and she decided to spray it with that but when she did someone turned the lights off and when we turned them back on the spider was gone. So we are all screaming and on chairs as you could imagine it was quite the sight. We did get it and kill it finally but I dont like knowing I live with those things! Then about 5 minutes after that event we hear um sister our room is flooding. So we all run out to go see what else could possibly be going on. Tho and behold the other girls in our casa room was flooding it was a good 3 inches off the floor. It was pretty hilarious though because we all ran to get mops and buckets and no one else could help us. We tried to call the reception but he could not understand what to flood meant and he said he would report the problem but no one was there that could help at the moment. So us missionary girls and our mops just cleaned up the water and it was quite the sight. Something I probably wont forget! :)
I was able to go to the Mexico City temple visitors center today! It was so pretty and amazing! It just opened in November! I am so lucky to be able to go and see things like that. I really felt the spirit and loved being with my district.
This week as missionary trainer sisters we decided to hold FHE for our zone. It went good!When we sang the opening himno I was overwhelmed by the spirit because all of the missionaries and there power you could just feel it so strong in the room! I talked on a talk from President Monson called "Consider the blessings" I encourage you all to read it, it is amazing. He has some awesome stories about prayer. And I promise you will feel the spirit as you read it and it will really help you to think of all the ways you have been blessed! I know that we can pray in any instance for anything and with the proper faith the lord will bless us!
We had a live devotional Tuesday night by president Bednar! Well it was broadcast from Provo but we still got to watch it live! It was really awesome one thing I really liked was about fe. (faith) He said "Faith looks to the future" when you have faith you are willing to step into the unknown. I feel like i really took a step of faith by coming here and by doing that I will be blessed and I know you all will be as well. He also said "Act and the power follows" I love this! It is so relevant to me here because I am obeying and studying and asking for blessings and I have to do all these things so the lord can bless me. I know that if we act as if God will bless us he will. We have to act in faith in all things.
We had a class about specific prayer. It was amazing because he shared all these stories about people who prayed for such specific things and they were answered! Even in his own life I will have to share some of the stories with you when I have more time! I have really been focusing on more specific prayers like please have my investigator show me a sign of faith when I teach tuesday. They can be that specific! I prayed one morning that the shower would be warm so I could be on time still and not have to shower in the cold and when I was done the water was warm. Some say those things are coincidences however I know the lord hears each of our prayers and he answers them according to our faith in him. I was so blessed and it helped me have a better day even though it was something so small! I have tender mercies like this happen daily here in the ccm and each time they happen I think of mom because she was the best at recoginizing tender mercies. He also said these miracles of our prayers being answered are like the things that happened in the book of mormon times! We have miracles just like they did we just have to recognize them!
I was reading in 1 Nephi 13 this week and there were several verses that stuck out to me. I truly love the chapters of Nephis vision and I want you all to take a look at them! In verse 37 it talks about how we are bringing forth zion and that they will have the power of the lord! The power of the lord is the holy ghost and I know it is the MOST important to have it with you always!!!!! It was just so cool because the verse pretty much talks all about missionaries :) I also like verse 40 and 42 and in 42 it says the last will be first and the first will be last. God will always win! I love that!
Lastly we heard a talk from President Holland from January of 2013. He talked all about being converted he always does. I love the way he talks about his mission he is so patient and wants us all to have that same experience. He said there is not a more exciting time than now. God is truly hastening his work and I get to be apart of it! Something else that stuck out to me was that the second coming started in the spring of 1820. And we are in the thick of it. We are the chosen generation truly. And this time the gospel will not fail, Jesus Christ will come and it is my prayer that we do everything in our power each day to bring ourselves to him.
Yo se que el evangelio de Jesucristo es verdad. Yo se que Jose smith fue un profeta de Dios y el restaurado el evangelio.Yo se que Thomas S. Monson es un profeta verdad. Yo se que el Libro de Mormon es la palabra de dios y es insiprado. Yo se que Jesucristo es nuestro salvador y muerte en la cruz por nosotros. Yo se que Dios y Jesucristo amor nosotros mucho mucho. Yo se que el evangelio bendiciones me todo dia.
I LOVE YOU GUYS and love hearing from you. Thank you for your continual support.

Mucho Amor,
