Hi Family!
Sending you each a great big hug! I love you all so much and I am so thankful to have each one of you in my life. I wouldn't be the person I am without you all.
Well, it was another great week here in Camarillo, full of lots of food, lots of cold, and lots of choir practices!
We had a great Thanksgiving. We were able to visit lots of families because many were home preparing for dinner. We visited a few less active families and we shared #GraciasAQueElVive with them and we talked about how thankful we are to have our Savior. And the best part is that all of the families we visited this week came to church yesterday! Hermana Brown said that since the time she has been here (8 weeks) that was the first time that many of them came to church. We were so happy to see the chapel full of so many families :)
This week reading the Book of Mormon and felt the great necessity to repeat daily. I know that every day we make mistakes and we need to apply the Atonement of Jesus Christ eveyday. I know that Christ loves us so much and if we aren't using the Atonement, we are not accepting what He did for us. So, this is my goal this week and I hope that you all can do the same. Apply the Atonement of Christ :)
This week I also read these scriptures that I loved!
Alma 13:
22 Yea, and the voice of the Lord, by the mouth of angels, doth declare it unto all nations; yea, doth declare it, that they may have glad tidings of great joy; yea, and he doth sound these glad tidings among all his people, yea, even to them that are scattered abroad upon the face of the earth; wherefore they have come unto us.
23 And they are made known unto us in plainterms, that we may understand, that we cannot err; and this because of our being wanderers in a strange land; therefore, we are thus highly favored, for we have these glad tidings declared unto us in all parts of our vineyard.
24 For behold, angels are declaring it unto many at this time in our land; and this is for the purpose of preparing the hearts of the children of men to receive his word at the time of his coming in his glory.
25 And now we only wait to hear the joyful news declared unto us by the mouth of angels, of his coming; for the time cometh, we know not how soon. Would to God that it might be in my day; but let it be sooner or later, in it I will rejoice.
26 And it shall be made known unto just and holy men, by the mouth of angels, at the time of his coming, that the words of our fathers may be fulfilled, according to that which they have spoken concerning him, which was according to the spirit of prophecy which was in them.
I know that Angels really are all around us! I met two yesterday :) They can be people that help us out and about, a friend who calls us after a long time to see how we are doing, or a family member. But I do know that we are surrounded by angles and that those angles in reality are preparing the hearts of others to hear and accept the Gospel.
Ok, one last thing! Luis got baptized on Saturday!! President Felix gave Hermana Brown and I permission to drive to Santa Maria to be able to be there. I didn't tell anyone, except Hermana Jeronimo and Hermana Hurley, that we were coming. Luis was Super surprised and so excited :)
It was one of the most special baptisms that I have been to. The Spirit was So strong! So many members from the branch were there because Luis really has become a part of the family. It was also incredible to see Luis so prepared and ready to make this covenant. At the end of the program he got up to share his testimony and it was so short, so simple, but so powerful.
I know that this is the true church, that Christ lives, and loves us, and that He can help us with whatever we ask of Him.
Have a great week!!
