well family and friends, once again i find myself with too little time to express all that has happened within the last week! but here´s the low-down:
on monday i bought 4 new skirts and a blouse for a total of 12 dollars...i love chile
i´ve been super sick (with a cold/sore throat/) for the last week, but it seems like i might finally be getting better!
our investigator, juan, is 100% sure that he wants to get baptized THIS SUNDAY!!! we are getting everything ready for the service, and are so grateful that he understands the importance, and is eager to make changes in his life, and become a member of the church of jesus-christ. super exciting.
news from the mission: it looks like i´ll be coming home two weeks earlier than planned...the assistants let us know that those in my group will now finish on may 7th instead of the 23rd. i´m not too happy about that. i would love for it to have just been a rumor, but unfortunately i think it´s true.
lesson learned:
Repentance is one of the first principles of the gospel and is essential to our temporal and eternal happiness. It is much more than just acknowledging wrongdoings. It is a change of mind and heart that gives us a fresh view about God, about ourselves, and about the world. It includes turning away from sin and turning to God for forgiveness. It is motivated by love for God and the sincere desire to obey His commandments.
repentance is the only way to make the changes necessary to enter the celestial kingdom and rest with god in the next life. it´s hard, but SUCH a blessing in my life. i love that he wants to help me be more like his son.
ugh, time´s up. i love you, and promise to write more next week (how many times now have i said that...i´m going to make it happen!)
