A sprained ankle and the widow's mite

I DEFINITELY want to share a room with KATE! I´ve been looking forward to that for 2 and a half years when I left for college! For sure with my SIS! Don't give me my own room! 

And thank you for that thought. Made me cry. I needed that. I sprained my ankle on Tuesday and I´ve been pretty out of commision this whole week. I feel like a kid in time out. EVERYONE telling me that I have to take it easy, I can´t walk, even the things that I feel I can do, no one lets me. I know it´s good bc I´m known for doing more than I should bc I think I can and want to, but it´s been frustrating. I´ve learned a lot this week about working with members BC I CAN`T STAND STAYING IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don´t know how to stop, so basically we´ve been marking with members to go out at night by car, do exchanges with the sisters of the ward for me to stay with one and my comp go out, do FHE, stay in one place and do a million contacts with everyone who passes by. We met almost all of our goals, but I became discouraged bc we didn´t complete all of them. But it was amazing bc on Saturday, I stayed the afternoon in a member's house while my comp got to go out to work with another member, so I sat reading the scriptures and my patrirchal blessing and all the whole day. While reading the New Testament, I read the story of the widow´s mite. While everyone was giving grand offerings, she gave two little coins that added up to 1/2 cent. But the Lord stopped to show His apostles the example that she was. She gave everything she had. It wasn´t much in the eyes of those who gave much, but it was what she had. And THAT was what the Lord wanted. I felt the Spirit so strongly confirmng to me that the Lord had accepted gratefully and happily my offering. This week, I wasn´t able to give what I normally give, but I gave my all and twisted myself into a pretzel trying to find creative ways to get our work done. 

CASAMENTO DO PEDRO E JENNIFER!!!!!!! Jaqueline and Bruno helped us (Jennifer is Jaqueline´s cousin, and we found them and started teaching and then found out that they were cousins-Jaque cried when we told her, and after that moment, they´ve helped make every thing possible!) The wedding was BEAUTIFUL!!! 

BAPTISM!!!! I cried it was amazing!!!!! Pedro was the most changed person that I´ve ever taught.  They are an amazing couple. They will lead the church in the future. I´ma amazed at their faith and love and sureness of the gospel!

Thank you for loving me. I feel your prayers. God told me at night this week (it was Thursday I think...)  that my mom loved me . He sends the messages! Telepathy-it´s real! It´s called the Holy Ghost!!!

I´m so grateful for this chance to be a servant of the Lord.

Do you know what´s amazing, that I think I never shared?  We had interviews with President in August, and after my interview, I asked for a blessing. He gave me a blessing and it was AMAZING!!!! He said that the Lord wanted me to know that he approves of me and all that I´m doing and that He had already approved of my mission - He had accepted my offering. I cried. A lot! I had only a little over a year and He had already accepted my offering!!! Now, I´m going to the end, and I won´t stop yet, as it says in Ether 6 (Oh! I'm reading Ether and the things you shared last week were EXACTLY what I had studied and EXACLTY what I had noticed this time!! SUPER COOL!!!! We´re totaly connected!!! ;D) They arrived in the promised land and already went to work planting seeds and working in their new sphere!!! President told me today in his letter that I´m at my prime right now. That made me really happy, and I would love your prayers to help me do the small things that will make all the difference in the end. 

I´m so grateful for this chance to be a servant of the Lord. I´m so happy, and I´m finally starting to see how the Lord´s hand has been steadily guiding me along this path I have chosen! I´m excited for the days to come!! Read Ether 6-it´s the story of our lives (and mission and life after!)

Also, Mom and Dad, please pray for me this week to be able to focus on the mission and have strength - nothing has happened, but the Lord told me last night the the Adversary was really going to try me this week, but that I´d be protected by focusiing on the work with my eyes fixed on His work and glory. Thank you and I love you all so much! Give hugs and kisses to everyone!!
