Week 14: With Jesus Christ, we can find peace anywhere!

My Sisters from the CCM

Hola!

First of all, I'm so sorry for everything that has been going on in our little Thousand Oaks! I am so so so grateful you all are safe and that our house is ok, but I am definitely praying for all the people who may have been affected by all this crazy stuff. The first thing that came to my mind when I read about everything was that the second coming is closer than we think. I'm not sure why all this bad stuff happens, but I do know that God is mindful of us. Everything has a purpose and if we put our trust in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ we don't have anything to fear! We have a lot to be thankful for and we can find peace anywhere! I definitely learned that the first few weeks of my mission!

This week we had a zone conference in Vina! It was with a few other zones and I got to see all my friends from the CCM. They are all doing great and it was so fun to catch up with them.

This week Hermana Wurdel and I helped Marcela make empanadas! She doesn't have a job right now so she is selling empanadas to try to make some money. We helped her and her family make them and afterward, we ate some too haha. It was fun. I'll have to teach you guys when I get home.

We have a lot of faith in this little family! The baptism date is in 2 weeks but Marcela and her two daughters still need a lot of preparation. Camila (one of the daughters) still doesn't think she has a testimony. She told us she wants so bad to believe in God but she doesn't think she does. We read Alma 32 with her that says all you need is a desire to believe and with that desire your faith will grow! She definitely has that desire. She is so sweet! Please pray for her that she will develop that testimony and be able to be baptized!

That is all! I love you guys so so much! I am thinking and praying for you and for my hometown, Thousand Oaks, at this really difficult time. Just remember all that we have to be thankful for! Even with all this horrible stuff going on in the world, we can find peace in Christ!

Con amor

A few things that are just things:

Marcelas son Patricio always calls me the gringa 😂 and always wants to show me his progression on the hole he is digging in the backyard. He wants to reach "el centro de la tierra" (the center of the earth.) haha! He is so so funny

Hermana Wurdel has absolutely no sense of time and if you know me you know I hate being late. There are times when I have to practice a lot of patience with her. (we are almost always late for everything because she is always doing her makeup and it drives me up the wall) But I still love her (most of the time. hehe)

Dogs are the worst!!

I had a dream the other night that I'm going to be a trainer next cambio and Hermana Wurdel thinks its gonna happen. That would probably be the worst thing ever... oh my gosh.
