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 :)

My favorite scripture!

Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of

myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many


 mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever. 


(Alma 26:12)


This is my favorite scripture, there are so many scriptures to like because the word of God really gives us strength and comfort but this one just really touches my heart because I know, I know I am nothing but if God is with me and He helps me, I know I can do all things. That's why I really love this scripture :)

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 feel my Savior's love!

Hello everyone! Well, I want to start my blog by saying that I love my Heavenly Father and my Redeemer Jesus Christ. They are amazing! And I wish I could be better just because They deserve that and more. 
Sometimes when I look at myself, I always feel that I need to improve, that there is more I could do or more I could give and that what I'm doing is not enough. I pray to the Lord so He can help me, because He is the only one who can actually help us, and when I feel that way, He always sends people to remind me that He loves me, and even though I am not perfect, He makes me feel that He is happy with the effort I am making. I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ because they never leave me alone, They love me and love each one of us and I know it because I feel that love in my heart. I am so blessed because I have the gospel in my life. I feel blessed because how many people are out there who don't even know who is Jesus Christ? or maybe they know who He is but they don't have Him in their lives. I wish I could see my grandmother right now and hug her and thank her for taking me to church when I was 9 years old. That was one of the great things she did, to take me to church so I could learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I thank her because now I have faith in Jesus Christ, because now I am a member of this amazing church: The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, I thank her because what I've learned in this church, I wouldn't have learned in any other place. It is true that when you do the little things, big things can be achieved. 

This is one of my favorites hymns. I hope you like it!

I love Sundays!

I always start my blogs with "Hello everyone"! But today I just don't wanna do that haha. 

Well "I love Sundays" is the title of this post, and yeah I am in love with Sundays. Since the morning starts, it's just great. I feel happy to wake up and get ready to go to church. I feel blessed that I am a member of the Lord's Church "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". I feel happy that I can go every Sunday and enjoy the talks, the sacraments, seeing the brethren and just learning and feel the Spirit. It is just amazing that when you have a certain problem and you can't find the answer, the only thing you have to do is to go to church because I don't know why but every time you go there, you just find the answer or solution to your problem, maybe you found the answer while one of the brethren was giving a talk, or maybe in one of the classes and it might seem that they know your problem because you listen to the right words at the right moment. We are blessed to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. I am thankful to God and to my grandmother because I have the gospel because of them, otherwise; I would be in another place, not enjoying the blessings that I have now :)

I found this amazing picture and wanted to share it, I love the Temple :) and I'm going to the Visitors Center tomorrow, I am so happy! I can't go in the temple yet but soon I will and yes I can't wait! :)

So I think I'm obsessed with...

JOSH GROBAN!

YEP! I really think I am and not because he is cute, yeah I have to accept he is kind of attactive ;) but because of his amazing and beautiful voice. I have always known he is very talented and that he has this powerful  voice but lately I've been listening to his songs and I'm just IN LOVE with his voice! I can't help it! 

Well changing the subject :) Tomorrow is church day :) Yay! Tomorrow will be the second time that I give a class to the girls and I love it, I just read the class and it is wonderful the things you can learn from the scriptures and the manuals :) 

FELIZ DOMINGO! 

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!

Hello everyone!! Well...everything's has been alright! Not so much had happened in my life, just a few things. I lost my job like 2 weeks ago, so now I am looking for a new one. I am really sad I lost my job because I loved it, I don't know If I ever mentioned that I was working with the elderly and I loved it! I really like helping others and get paid by doing that it is just great haha :) Anyways. I really want to find another job because I want to continue saving money for my mission. Did I ever mention how much I would love to serve a full-time mission? Well, If you didn't know. That is one of my biggest dreams ever! I know that the Lord loves everyone of His children, I know that my Redeemer Jesus Christ lives and through the Prophet Joseph Smith, He restored his gospel, I also know that the gospel blesses people's lives, I know this with all of my heart, so why not to share that with the world? Plus I would be serving the Lord by serving others :). But to be able to do that, I need to save money, of course. So that's why I need to find a job and keep saving money. I really hope I'll find one soon, I just hope it's a job like the one I had before...it is amazing when you find a job where they pay good, treat you right, and you love what you do, but let's see what happens :)


Well, I also want to talk about today. Today was a great day but it was a sad day too. Two of my favorites missionaries who served in my ward just left. Elder Houghton and Elder Batschi. Both of them are amazing! And of course, my family and I will miss them A LOT! 
The reason why my day was great is because today Elder Houghton's family and Elder Batschi's family came over to my house. It was so great to have them over. They are very nice people and I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet such amazing people! So I would like to share some of the pictures we took today.

I really like this picture because all of us were together. 3 families in a picture haha! I just don't get tired of saying how nice they are...every single one of them! 

This is Elder Batschi's family. They are from Washington! They were very nice and kind all the time!

And...this is Elder Houghton's family!! Very nice people too, so kind and humble!! I will miss them a lot!! :) and they are from Texas!

Tiffany Houghton. Elder Houghton's sister! She is so pretty and nice. I am glad I got to meet her! :)

And of course, a picture with coolest missionaries ever! I will miss you guys!! 

Happy Birthday Elder Batschi!

Hello everyone! I'm back ;)

Well today was a good day because my family and I got to see Elder Batschi. He used to serve in our ward North Hollywood 5th. We went all the way to Lake Los Angeles to see him because of his birthday. My family and I really like Elder Batschi, he is way nice and very spiritual.

Well, being honest I dont' really like how I look in these pictures haha but oh well :) Anyways, today was a good and fun day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELDER BATSCHI! (again) :)
