Welcome to my world!

No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

22 days..

Hi :)
22 days till I leave. How I feel? I'm usually very thoughtful and I've been thinking a lot about the lessons :) especially about the Restoration and I've been thinking a lot about the book of Mormon. Why? Well because this is one of the first things you teach an investigator and the first impression is always very important and I want to be able to explain things in a way that people can actually understand me and feel the Holy Spirit because I will teach the investigators, but it is the Spirit who will testify them about the truth but I have to do my part by being ready to answer questions and to explain about this beautiful gospel :) 
I am very happy that I have the opportunity to serve a mission, I know the mission will help me in so many ways that I can't even imagine. I hope I will be strong and endure till the end of my mission and I hope I can be a good missionary :)

Noviembre sin ti (November without you)

Well I know we are not on November anymore, I wanted to write a few more things during the month of November but sadly I couldn't because I was doing other stuff.
November is a month of gratitude. We should all be thankful everyday for all the blessings we have in our lives but November is just special because it is the month of gratitude. Anyways, on this post I want to write about the things of which I am grateful.


I am thankful because:


-I know I am a daughter of God
-I know Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer and I know He loves me :)
-I am super thankful because I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I couldn't be happier and I mean it. Having the gospel in my life is just such a great blessing, such a great guide in my life, when I think about my life without the gospel I get kind of scared thinking where would I be if I wouldn't have this guide in my life. I know I might not be the greatest person but I know that If I hadn't the gospel I would be in a really bad place.
-I am thankful for my family, they support me a lot, especially my mother and I love her because she is always there for me when I need her.
-I am thankful for all of those blessings I have everyday, when I can see the hand of the Lord helping me with my everyday problems.
-I am thankful for having important things like a family, a home, a warm bed, food, clothes and well the list can go on and on...
-I am thankful I am a seminary teacher because I know I am not there because I know everything, I am there because I need to learn more and I am actually learning a lot and I never thought I was gonna enjoy teaching the Old Testament, it is hard though but I am actually understanding the Old Testament now :)
-I am thankful I am serving in the Young Women Organization, just like seminary I am also learning a lot :)
-I am thankful with my Heavenly Father for providing me a job and when I don't have a job He always provides me the way to pay my bills and things that I need, really He has never left me alone. NEVER!


The list can be endless...but I guess I'll stop here.


I know this is super late but I hope you all had a great thanksgiving! :)

I'm a terrible blogger!



Hello everyone! Well as you can see, it's been a while...
Life is just crazy sometimes and just like my title says, "I'm a terrible blogger" because I never have time to blog. Sometimes I look at my other friends' blogs and I wish my blog could be as entertaining as theirs, but oh well :) I guess it's okay.
Well I wanted to share that I am very happy because I have two amazing callings at church. I am a Seminary Teacher :) and they just called me to work with the Young Women as a 1st counselor.
I really like being a seminary teacher, of course like everything it has its advantages and disadvantages
The advantages:
-I am learning so much from the scriptures.
-I never thought I was gonna enjoy learning from the Old Testament.
-I am learning to be patient :)
-I am actually reading my scriptures everyday :)
-I feel like this is a great preparation for my mission so this is just a great blessing :)
Disadvantages:
-I have to get up at 5:00 a.m. everyday :( 
-You know dealing with teenagers is not that easy haha but hey I'm not complaining! I'm thankful for this! 
Just a few disadvantages...I can't complain too much when I have such a great blessing in my life :)


So, like I said they just called me to work with the YW and I am excited! There is a lot of work to do too, but the YW program is way fun so I can't complain either and I am also learning a lot. I know that I learned way too much as a young woman but now that I'm a leader I am learning more and I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to grow spiritually and of course I am thankful that I can be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to help HIS daughters :)


Well, I also want to say that in order to go on a mission I only need to wait 7 more months! So yeah, I'm really excited :) 


Another thing that I want to say is that I went back to school :) Finally! haha. Well it is not college but it is an adult school and you can graduate from short careers, like me, I am studying to become an office technician and in like 2 more months I'll be able to finish that and apply for a job :) and I hope I can get one because I still don't have a job and that really sucks :( (that is actually the only bad new of the month) Buenas Noches ;)


bye!

Time in my life!

Sometimes I am very thoughtful about the time in my life. All the people who know me know that I want to serve a full-time mission for The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. I always talk about it because that's something that I would love to do. So I had a job, I was already saving money for my mission, but now that I don't have a job, I just feel like the time stopped for me, even though time never stops but I just feel like it did. I was so thrilled about turning 20 years old last month because I was thinking: I only need one more year for my mission! I can't believe that before I was counting the years and now I am counting the months...but since I don't have a job anymore and I'm not studying either (for now) I feel like the time is going so slow! Agh! But I also know that it shouldn't be that way because I also want to enjoy every single day of my life...it seems like just yesterday I was 15 years old and now I am 20!!! I feel old haha even though I'm not. And I think that I have to enjoy this last year that I have with my family and friends before going on a mission, because maybe when I least expect it I'll be already 21 and probably when I get there I'll say that I wish I could go back to enjoy every moment and I don't want that to happen so I need to figure out how to enjoy every day. I guess I'll I need to do is not to think so much about the future, I just need to live day by day, of course I'll always have my goals in mind and work on them but without ignoring what I'm living at the moment. 


I just thought that was a cool clock, don't you think? And it relates to my subject so yeah :)


Anyways, changing the subject a little bit, I am looking for a job, I'm not sure yet but probably I'll work as a "nanny" soon. I still need to go to an interview. I hope I can get the job, I love kids...and...I need a job! :)


Well, time to go.
