"I have a work for thee"

Started her birthday with Hermana Carter

"Happiness Moments"

-Because I am about to hit a year, I got to go to Polanco (a super super nice part of mexico) to renew my visa!! We then walked through a super fancy mall and went to Costco!! I felt like I was on vacation ;)

-The Lord really likes to keep me on my toes!! We are currently in the middle of the cycle, but we just had special changes!! I am still in my area, but me and my adorable new companion Hna Vieira are now covering two wards and serving as sister training leaders. The Lord has given us much and we are super grateful and excited to get to work!!

Ended her birthday with Hermana Vieira

-I TURNED 20!! A lot of wonderful members and missionaries made my birthday wonderful yesterday with cake and crepes;) I also feel very blessed to have received a package from my mom and many notes that many of you sent me. I haven't finished reading them all, but I feel very loved. Thank you!!!

This past week has been full of surprises, mainly with the random changes that we had. But I am so grateful to keep learning and growing with a new companion!!

Birthday Cake!

As I had been thinking a lot about all of the changes and what I could do to be the missionary that my loving Heavenly Father wanted me to be, I felt a little overwhelmed about all that was ahead of me, and then I read in Moses chapter 1. 

Birthday Crepes!

As I replaced my name in the scriptures, I realized that God really does have a work for every single one of us to do, and that revelation is the key.

"There are some things we cannot learn from a book."

 - Sharon Eubank

"If all you ever learn is what you see with your natural eyes and hear with your natural ears, you will not know very much."

And then Joseph Smith encourages us to "grow into the principle of revelation."

Sometimes we may feel overwhelmed because we don't know if we are really receiving revelation, but never get frustrated. 

Boyd K. Packer said that we shouldn't worry if we are doing something wrong, "It may be that you are not doing anything wrong, it may be that you have not done the right things long enough... you cannot force spiritual things."

Another happiness moment =)

The Lord knows you perfectly, and as long as we are following the teachings of Christ, we will know what work we must do, and we will receive revelation.

HAVE A SPLENDID WEEK!!!
