6-2-14 Burn Bright

This weeek. 

I forgot to tell you guys last week at our stake's festival ( I think I sent a pic?) they asked me to sing... in front of EVRYONE! It was pretty scary, but I sang "stay stay stay" by t swift and it was actually realllyy fun! And everyone was cheering for another song, but I didn't have another one without words, so I couldn't. But it was awesome!

So we have an AWESOME new investigator who is really special to us. Right now, we are teaching her, her sister, and her sister's kids :) They all came to church this week!! (this week we had the most investigators I have ever had in sacrament. I almost cried it was soo beautiful) She is separated from her husband and was so sad when we found her. Within  ONE week I have seen a big change in her. This gospel changes lives my friends. It's so incredible. (side note, her brother raises roosters to fight and there are a TON in the house)  Also, Grecia and her family (Rofner) are doing SO good. She is trying to live every commandment and she is reading her scriptures and praying everyday with her family :) We have a noche de hogar in her house tonight with another family from the ward! Her son Bryan, is getting baptized this week (Friday!) with our other angel, Maria. Please pray for them. They are about to make the biggest, best decision of their entire lives.

The other day we were having a really spiritual lesson, and this tiny little cat (picture attached) climbed UP my leg and started hanging on my skirt. It kind of hurt, but mostly it was just really funny. And totally ruined the spirit ;) haha

Well, this whole week was so busy and so happy. We just broke our record for lessons in one week!!! MY comp is seriously the BEST. She's so patient, smart, kind, spiritual and hilarious. We never even argue and we are always happy, even when hard things pass. I am learning a lot from her and this area too. We have cambios Wed and I am PRAYING I stay here. (you can pray with me) 

Well, that's all I got for this week, I love you all. Please make sure you are reading the Book of Mormon everyday. It's the only book that has the answers to life!! 

Remember this, " when you keep the light from getting dim, you may not quite blend in, you are a burning example... so burn bright. The world NEEDS your light." As followers of Jesus Christ, we are his hands. We are His words. His actions. And we are His light. Don't be afraid to stand out or stand up for what you believe in. You are making choices that will bring you true and lasting happiness. Mosiah 2:41. The world we live in so desperately needs YOUR example, your smile, and your light. Don't be afraid. Be brave and remember, you have Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ on YOUR SIDE. (everyone should find the video " the atonement" by Eyring and Holland. It's 9 min and 26 seconds and I could listen to it ALL DAY EVERY DAY. It's the best.)

Have a great week family and friends!!!
