This week I passed the 1 year mark in the mission! As I reflect back on this last year I`ve learned alot and grown alot more than I imagined I would have. Being here in the mission and dedicating my life to the Lord has helped me put my life in a different perspective. I`ve grown much closer to The Savior and to our Heavenly Father. Plus I learned spanish! It is an experience in which you learn to put behind your own needs to help the needs of others, and there is an incredible amount of people in need.
This week in particular we`ve been working very hard and putting everything we have. I came home tired in every sense: physically, spiritually, etc. But it has all been worth it, and all our hard work paid off! This saturday we baptized 13 of our investigators! We couldn`t get a photo all in white in, but I sent some pictures and everyone in the pictures got baptized on Saturday except for the older ladies, one of the teenagers who is member, and the littlest kids. I`m grateful to the Lord that I was able to be the means to bring that blessing to all of them.
After 1 year here asking my self if it has been worth it, there is no way I could deny that this experience was worth it. I`m grateful I have this opportunity. I know this is the work of the Lord and we are all instruments in his hands. I know this is the church of Jesus Christ. All who come closer to the Lord recieve peace and comfort.
I glad I have a year more to continue serving the Lord! I encourage all to do what you can to advance the work of the Lord and serve him.
I love you all!
