 Hello people!

Well this week was amazing and just alright at the same time...

It was harder because we didn´t see very much progress in the work. The new family and Chucho did not come to church...however I still have hope for them:) We are just going to have to see what happens:)

I think that the highlight of my week was when we had council of Leaders this week and at one point I had the great opportunity to talk to my mission President just one on one. He taught me a great lesson about fighting against Satan. I am going to explain what I learned: In this life there are a ton o challenges. And well some of them can be challenges that we will have for our whole lives. It could be anything. Now with all of those challenges, we are bound to fail several times in trying to overcome them. Some challenges are so hard for us that we will fail several, several times in them before we can overcome it. Every time we fail, our first reaction will probably be sadness. That´s fine, that´s natural. But what we can not let happen is lose our hope. It does not matter how many times we fail at something, the Atonement of Christ id  infinite. Satan wants us to think that we can not overcome our challenges, and every time we fail, he tries to give us that feeling that we will never win. That is contrary to the teachings of Christ. We can always win, we may lose a battle, but that means absolutely nothing for the war. We must always have the hope in Christ, and never let our determination falter. Every time we fail, we must analyze what has caused the failure, and then change it. That is what being perfect means. Always changing for the better, always progressing, and always becoming more perfect. When we give up and stop progressing, that is when we need to be worried. However if we are always changing and progressing, and becoming perfect in Christ, then we will be fulfilling the will of God. That is the point of this life!

Well I ate some delectable cow stomach this week. Then the next day some chopped up Habaneros. Not a good combination. Enough said.

I love you all so much!!
