14 days...

14 days till I'm gone :) 

Today I spoke with my mission President (President Alba). I just had some questions. He is really kind. I'm very excited to meet him and his wife. I have a picture of the both of them:

President and Sister Alba :)

HERMANA

I'm very excited, nervous too but I can't believe the time is really almost here and that my dream will finally come true. I really hope I can be a good missionary and give my best. I want to be a faithful, obedient, strong and loving missionary. Share what I know it's true with everyone that is prepared to receive this great and perfect gospel :)

This coming Saturday is my Mission Farewell (Mi Despedida) September 1st :) 

Well I have to go because I have to sleep. See you :)

Unreachable Star...

Hi :) Well yesterday I was writing another poem. I like writing a lot. It is the way I use to express how I feel. Anyways not details here but I wrote the poem in English so the grammar might be super horrible haha because I still need to learn more English but I hope it makes sense :)

"Unreachable Star"

I want you so bad

but so bad I can't have you

It hurts me so bad

because I truly like you

You are a dream that will never come true

but It's true that I only think about you

When I think of you

I am breathless

because you are so charming

and my soul feels restless

Why do I like you?

knowing that I can't have you

I was not lying

when I said I find you stunning

Trying you to avoid you

hurts me the most

because you don't notice

that I don't pay attention to you

Good-bye my impossible love

Good-bye my unreachable star

I wish I could reach you

I wish you could love me.

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 :) 

I like you

Hi :) Well here's another poem that I wrote last night. This is my second poem in English. I usually write in Spanish because of course it is my first language and it is just easier for me but yesterday I tried and I don't know if it really makes a lot of sense haha but I hope you guys like it. 

"I like you"

I can like you

but I'm so afraid

because I actually like you

but you might not feel that same

Why is liking a person so complicated?

Why is caring for you so hurtful?

I wish I dominate it

but all i can do is to forget it

You are so charming

but I will never tell you

that you are very stunning

but i have to forget you

Your smile gives me butterflies

Your eyes make me feel in paradise

and your voice makes me realize

that you are all I really want

I wish happiness to you

Because I really like you

even when I will never have you

but i hope you know that I really like you.

28 days...

So yeah, I only have 28 days here in North Hollywood and then I will get to Santa Rosa. How I feel? Well, it's weird because I am very excited. My time is finally here and I can't believe it but at the same time I'm nervous too. I have waited for this moment since I was 15 years old and it's now happening so I just feel nervous but more excited of course. Life is great even though lately I've been a little bored. I'm basically home all the time (Cleaning, cleaning and more clean, oh and I clean too! LOL) cough, cough..anyways. I've been reading Preach my gospel and I feel that I've been learning more. I take classes every week by Skype with my super awesome teacher Carlos Gamez, he is a great teacher and makes me practice a lot which a like :) Well I hope I'll enjoy a little bit more of my time here in the San Fernando Valley. 28 days!! I get butterflies when I think that tomorrow it will be 27....aaahhh!!!! okay, okay!! Bye!!

Tus ojos cafes

Here's another poem that I just wrote :)

"Tus ojos cafes"

Siempre que te veo

me pones a soñar

pero después realizo

que tengo que despertar

Tus ojos cafes
me hacen sentir alrevez
porque son las dos cosas mas hermosas
que me hacen sentir mariposas
Me gustas mucho
y no puedo negarlo
pero también tengo miedo
que me hagas daño
Si pudiera te diria: Te extraño
y después te daría un abrazo
para después darte un beso
y finalmente decirte que te amo
Eres un amor
más se que no eres para mí
y aunque seas mi adoración
debo dejarte partir.
