Dear Everyone!

Ckemi!

This week has been has been full of growth. This week one of the things that happened was I went on exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders. First off, I have to say that they are such a gift and a light. They inspire so many. I remember when they called and informed us that they were going to do exchanges with us. We were so excited to work with them. But when Motra R told me on the phone that they had prayed and felt that I should stay in place and Motra L would go elsewhere, I have to admit, I found myself growing a little overwhelmed, but I said that would be good. I really saw the hand of the Lord throughout our whole day together. I know that He carried me that day and all my worries were lifted. I learned so much. One of many was that everyone makes a huge impact.

Having now worked with Sister L and Sister R, I see how much the Lord admires them and love them and how important they are to this work here in this mission. Another thing is that a companion is something that is such a wonderful blessing to have. I see that everyday working with my wonderful companion, but also when I worked with Sister R. I realized that I first thought that everything was on my shoulders since I was the one staying in my area and knew the people we were working with and so on, but I realized I was completely wrong. Something about the church that is amazing is that we are a strong force that builds each other up and that no one is alone in anything.

AHHHHH! I just love this gospel! :) Well, long story short so much happened that day, and in the end everything turned out alright! That day really was a witness of 1 Nephi 17:50 "... If God had commanded me to do all things I could do them..." that honestly is so true. Sure, I wasn't building a boat like he was, but it was something that seemed more than he could handle, yet he knew that the Lord knew him and knew what he could and could not handle. So when He asks us to do something, know that He will provide a way for us. I feel like I am really emphasizing Nephi today but he honestly is so awesome! 1 Nephi 3:7 it really talks about this as well. :)

This week has just been such a time of growth and I have loved every minute of it. It is crazy to think that I have been here almost 6 weeks. That is just blowing my mind!

Oh yes, something else that happen this week was that a recent convert we have been teaching after baptism brought her friend to church yesterday. They are both in their first year of college. We also had another investigator that has been going through so many trials lately that came to church for the first time in forever. She just needs the gospel in her life. It would bless her in so many ways and her children.

Something that I learned this week is that God loves us so much that He gave His only begotten son Jesus Christ so that we could return to Him after this life. And yet, even after that, he still keeps giving us blessings through this gospel.

I LOVE this gospel! It is the best thing that has been in my life.

Thank you for all your love and support!

Motra Bezas

The following pictures are of an amazing historical location that the missionaries in Motra Bezas's district visited on their p-day. All days but one are spent in the service of their fellow beings. But one day a week, they do laundry, shopping, and have the opportunity to see some of the amazing sites in this great country. Most of the pictures Motra Bezas's sends are from their p-days. The other days they are too focused on their tasks to take many pictures.
