THIS WEEKS EMAILS

Hey all!
Well you just have to love life don't ya! Sometimes I find myself awestruck realizing all of the trust that God puts in some 20 yr olds to do His work, and to take care of His children. there are nights one cant sleep praying and thinking meditating of how one can fix a certain problem or doubt. But i have never felt more joy than i have here in the mission. I love it. I don't really no how to describe this week. it was filled with some of the most exquisite joy causing 13yr old girlike giddyness, and some of the hardest brain racking life and death problems. Any time someone does something good, Satan will not stand for it. His grip can be so tight on sometime it is shocking. Alcohol and drugs are just one of the biggest problems in the world, and it is truly heartbreaking to watch it tear families apart. I love the mission. My best friend completed two years and hes still there, what a life long example he will be for me. This week my older brother gets older and my little sister becomes a legal woman, which i will not stand for nor accept until i am home and than we might sort out the details. I find myself at a lost of words, but i want to say that this is the truth. There is no separation of Life and God. There is no reason to ever do anything that god doesn't condone or hasn't commanded. i know we are weak, feeble, i know i could be such a better representative of Christ, but i know that forgiveness truly is a miracle. It is asombroso. I love you all so much, your example, love, and support is invaluable. Have a great week
love

Hola!!!
My child is on her way. Right now I am stuck in the offices with the elders wasting time. This week was super great, my comp worked as hard as she could to finish off the week but by Monday she was ready to finish. She told me about her interview and how she had to take off her plaque and it made me think about how one day I am going to have to do that and it broke my heart. I am not ready for that day yet.
I just had my interview with President and it went super well, I love the few moments I have with him, he is such an inspired man and helps me to see the big picture. He reminded me of all the change that has occurred in this past year. It has almost been a yr since I arrived here in Argentina and I feel truly blessed for every moment that has been cherished here. He told me I have to take it easy on my comp because she was really sick in the MTC and if she works too hard she could have to go home. It should be an interesting change but I am excited to put more focus into my comp. I think I have lacked that a lot in the mission; I want to try to be better in thinking about the needs of the one closest to me, something I have lacked a lot in my life.
The other way awesome thing is that next week we have two baptisms! Our Recent Convert Ruben is going to baptize his mom and the sister of our other recent convert is going to be baptized! We continue to see miracles here in the mission field and I love it. We are promised that we can see miracles everyday, we just have to let them happen and have faith that they will.
I love this work. I love my Father in Heaven. I KNOW without a doubt that this is the church of our Savior and King Jesus Christ. I love you all!!!
KEEP THE FAITH
