Hey Everyone!
We received some big news this week. Elder Llanos and
I are being transferred to another ward here in Santa Fe. Our new ward is
Mayoraz. The news surprised both of us, but we are excited to go where
the Lord wants us to go. I will never forget the opportunity that I had
to serve in Costanera. I was there for a little more than 9 months.
Looking back on it, they are probably the the fastest, hardest, yet most
rewarding months of my whole life. My companions and I dug deep down and
gave everything that we had there. I don`t have any regrets. There
were lots of hard moments, but we never stopped, we just kept going
forward. I am so grateful for everyone that I met there. All of the
members are a part of me now, they are my family here in Santa Fe. The
Lord showed me some great miracles through Mariana and Alejo, and
Liliana. These people have showed me a lot and they have exercised faith
unto repentance and have made it to the waters of baptism. I am super
proud of them. During these past 9 months the Lord has taught me a life
long lesson. It is found in Ether 12: 6 "And now, I,
Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the
world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore,
dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial
of your faith." My faith in God truly has increased.
After exercising faith, miracles happened in Costanera. I can`t put into
words how great it was. I am at peace with everything that has happened
in Costanera. It is sacred ground for me.
Highlights of the week:
-Elder Llanos and I cut down another tree. It is the third
time that we have cut down a tree now. I like swinging an axe too much.
-There are lots of bats here. There was an injured bat
and it was crawling on the ground at night, at first glance I thought that it
was a tarantula. I almost died.
-Elder Llanos loves his peruvian Arroz Chaufa.(ham Fried
rice) He always offers to everyone to cook it for them. One family
accepted this week. It was the first family that has accepted so we were
super excited. It didn`t turn out as well as we hoped. To make a
long story short, everyone makes fun of Elder Llanos now that he likes his rice
hard. It was super awesome. Poor Elder Llanos is really embarrassed.
-I have made French toast two times this week. 😍
It has been so long
-I shared 3 Nephi 18: 25 with Liliana this week and I felt
the spirit super strong.
I love you all tons! Have a great week!
