| Antonella's Baptism |
ITS BEEN ONE YEAR!
I can't believe that I've been out one year! Some days I can't believe how fast the time has gone and other days I feel like I've been here in Chile my whole life haha. The mission is just a roller coaster with its ups and downs every day. In the words of mom, it has been a year with a lot of laughter, a lot of tears, and a lot of love. I have met so many amazing people and faced so many challenges. I have faced the hardest moments of my life here but also experienced the pure happiness that the gospel brings. Every day my testimony grows of our Savior Jesus Christ. I know he is my Savior and that this is his church. I know I am his representative and I am here to teach his gospel to the people of Chile (whether they want to listen or not haha) But I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. It has definitely been the hardest year of my life but also the most worth it! I have grown more in this one year than I had all the other 19 years. All I can say is that this gospel is true and it changes lives. It has changed mine and I will forever be grateful for that.
Antonella got baptized and it was one of the sweetest days of my mission. Her mom got up and bore her testimony in sacrament meeting before the baptism and said that God sent two angelitas to her house (us) and that her family has grown so much closer since we started teaching them the gospel. They had been inactive for a long time but when Antonella saw her cousin get baptized she made the decision all by herself to follow Jesus Christ as well. Because of her decision the whole family has come back to church and will forever be blessed from this gospel. Antonella was soooooo excited to be baptized and looked like a little angel in her white dress! Ahhh I just love this little sassy 9 year old with all my heart haha. She makes me laugh every time I talk to her and it was a blessing being able to teach her and her family.
We are still looking for more people to teach. We have been a little low on lessons and people to teach but the people we do have are amazing! Evelyn is still getting baptized and is so determined. Keep praying for her!
I love you guys and hope you have a great week!!
Con mucho amor,
