Hey everyone! So how was the week? I hope you are all happy and doing great! Thanks for the letters and emails...as always so great to hear how things are going for everyone! Grimes kids thanks so much for the letters and pictures...they were so cute and way fun to receive! :) So Brett asked if I was able to receive pictures at this email address...I can...probably only a few at a time because the memory in this account isn´t very big but I´d love to see pictures of you all! As far as sending pictures from this account I dunno but I´m working on putting my pictures on a CD and sending that. So this week was another good one. We had zone conference and interviews. It is such a blessing to have every transfer because it really helps us evaluate what and how we are doing and where we need to improve. I love our mission President he truly is an inspired man! He talked a lot about the advesary and agency and the plan of salvation. It is so interesting and so very clear that the advesary is constantly working to stop the progression of the work of God and of each of us. We are either progressing or digressing based on our decisions. I´m grateful for this knowlege because it helps us realize how important it is to use our agency wisely. Agency truly is a gift from God and He will never take it from us, that is the opposing plan of satin that we have addictions, give into our weaknesses, and lose our agency. But there is peace in knowing that our Savior already atoned for our sins we can be forgiven and God will always do His part to bless us and help us overcome our weaknesses, have true happiness, and return to His presence and with these promises we just need to step up to the plate and do our part...obey His commandments. I love this gospel! I love teaching it and I love seeing the joy and change it brings. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Te amo!
