Week 25: I know that nothing and nobody can take this testimony away from me.

Hello my beloved family! How are you all doing!?? Maravilloso!! Como siempre!? 

I am just want to give a big thanks to my family!! For all the packages I received la semana pasada!! I don't know if that is how you meant it to be but last week when we all met at the stake center for our district reunions, I had 4 packages waiting for me whenI arrived!! I love you guys!!! (I send you a picture) but also thanks to mom for all the christmas decorations! Our house is already ready for the great christmas season! Haha I cant even imagine how decorated the house in utah is!!

The funny story of the week goes to me...unfortunately because when you guys sent the box of candy bars or what I thought was candy bars, I put the box in the fridge, so that they wouldn't melt, but then five days later Elder Clark told me are you sure there are candy bars in that box, and I was like yeah pretty sure, but I looked anyway and found out that I had put the presents (the ties and all the other good stuff) in the fridge for 5 days. Haha yo sé que todavia estoy desarrollando.
 
This wednesday the whole mission is going to Montevideo to listen to a general authority! So I will tell you guys how is goes in the next carta, EL SEÑOR está apresurando su obra!!

This last week had its ups and downs. Walter nuesto super capo is doing great, we had a great lesson with him about the Book of Mormon, that while we handed him his own book he immediately began to read... haha while we were still in the middle of the lesson.. he just opened it right up and started reading out loud. Haha he really is awesome but this week we´ll see how the baustimal invitation goes. Also all of our prayers were answered with Maria Elena and Clea. Maria Elena, was able to leave the hospital and it doing well in her recovery, and Clea has noticed that her life is nothing without the gospel, as well her nephew who we started teaching named Leandro. But there are both having a hard time keeping commitments. Andrea the super capa is doing great besides the fact that he husband doesnt like us too much, but we are working with him. She told us this week that she reads the Book of Mormon in secret because her husband doesn't allow her, but she has already read a ton and she always ask us questions about what she reads, that are the best! And that show that she really is gaining a testimony of the libro sagrado! Also this week was the birthday of Eder, I don't know if I mentioned him before, but he is a member and he really is like my Uruguayan dad!! He is the boyfriend of Lourdes the investigator. We had a grand fiesta with a bunch of members! I'll send some pics!

I just want to bare testimony, on the power of gaining our own testimonies. I know that our testimonies our gained from our own spiritual experiences, that the Lord has saved for each and every one of us. I know that these testimonies are our rock when the times get tough. I know that is the power and strength of our testimonies that carry us through all the difficult times and help us to never lose hope. Because really hope can never get lost. I know that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only true church on this earth and the only the leads to our salvation. And I know that nothing and nobody can take this testimony away from me, as long as I continue to exercise and strengthen it, so that it is always in good shape.
 
I love you fam!! p.s. My body is in good shape too, because it is impossible for me to gain weight when I sweat like a flowing river everyday haha.
