Happy Mother's Day

Oh my. It was so good to talk to you guys yesterday! Sorry I talked so much. I realized that you guys hardly got to say anything. I guess that´s what happens when you are deprived of speaking English... :) lo siento.

This week seriously. THE BEST WEEK EVER. You guys. I´m so happy. I seriously love being a missionary. I feel like I´m the most blessed person in the entire world. I just can´t believe that I was so blessed to live in the United States and be born to an AMAZING family that has the gospel. I´m so grateful that my family can be forever. That I know the Plan of Salvation and that I have this knowledge so I can enjoy blessings and felicidad right now in my life. I just hope that I can live worthy of the blessing of having the gospel in my life and share with others. A great responsibility. 

Sarah sent me the story from Sister Dalton about her marathon experience. (You guys should totally read it. Good stuff.) And I LOVE it. She talks about how she was running and she got to "Heartbreak Hill" and was tired and realized she was lost. The people on the sideline were cheering her on and encouraging her. And she also prayed for comfort and help from Heavenly Father.

The word´s to How Firm a Foundation came to her mind and she was comforted. "Fear not I am with thee oh be not dismayed. For I am thy God and will still give thee aid."

I´m so grateful for the support that I feel from all my friends and family. I can feel your prayers and support. I want you all to know that God is only a prayer away. I have seen over and over again that God is SO aware of us. He´s our God, our Heavenly Father, and he won't leave us without aid.

We are teaching three Young Women right now, the family Sanchez. Every time we come over, their little brother runs out and gets so excited to see us. I seriously smile so hard when we teach them. Elizabeth has been praying and reading and is SO prepared. She told us when she prays she feels paz and tranquilidad. 

This week I was reminded a lot about the Young Women Theme that says, "We are daughters of our Heavenly Father who loves us and we love him." I love my Heavenly Father. I love the gospel. I love being a missionary.

Love you all!

Read your Book of Mormon.
