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 :)

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.

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!!
