Hello world!

 

This week? Nothing new. Its been 2 days since I last wrote! So you know all about Christmas. But I wanted to write you all and say that this is most likely my last week in the MTC. I testify that the Spirit resides here. Its incredible. I want to thank everyone for the letters, love, support, and prayers over the past 9 weeks! Now, to the field to find those seeking the gospel! Do I feel ready? No. Not really at all. Am I scared out of my mind? Absolutely! Am I excited? Com certeza!!!! With God, I can do anything. I know that I was called by God to do this work. With Him, Im ready for anything!

There isnt a lot to say except that I ask for you all to return to Jesus Christ is one way or another. I guarantee there is one thing in your life that YOU can fix that will bring more happiness. Find it. And DO it. This is a short little email this time but hopefully next one will be coming from somewhere else in the world! (most likely 60 minutes north in Salt Lake) But I want to testify that I know without a doubt that God lives. He really does. He loves you personally. He knows you personally. He placed you in my life to help me and I know it. You have done something special for me in one way or another. He sent Jesus Christ to the Earth to establish the church and a way in which we could return to live with Him again. If you were the only one on Earth..Jesus Christ would suffer for you! And I know that He didnt suffer just for your sins. He suffered for every last sickness, trial, tribulation, unhappiness, and pain you go through. HE KNOWS HOW IT FEELS!!! Turn to Him when you need help. It is my promise that you will feel happier and something you havent really felt before. That is His love. I know Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ and they told him that no churches were true. I know that he restored the EXACT same gospel that Jesus Christ established. I know he was given the authority of God and that it has been passed down and I am SO lucky to be able to hold that. I know the Book of Mormon answers any questions in life. I know the Book of Mormon contains everything you need to know in life. I know it. I have seen it in my life. This Church is true. More true that anything else on Earth. I have No doubt about it. These things I KNOW to be true through the Holy Spirit. This is my testimony!

 

I love you all!

Loves,
