I have no regrets.

So that´s all, folks!!! 

I finished. No...WE Finished. I didn´t walk a step of this path without my Savior and Heavenly Father by my side! I have learned here how to CHANGE!!! How repentance is real. How to love, forgive, aguentar (I don´t know what that is in English!). I have learned the value of the souls of God´s Children. I have learned that alone, we are imperfect, but with Christ we are perfect!! This morning, I finished the Book of Mormon. I started two days after I left the CTM in Portuguese, and little by little have been reading my whole mission. I finished today. At the very end, Moroni invites us to come unto Christ and be perfected IN Him. 

 

 

Once I heard it like this-we have a bank account. It starts at 0 and little by little we sin...and little by little adquirimos more debt. But Christ, His Atonement is INFINITE, so He has an infinitely positive account. What do we do when we are baptized and repent everyday, walking by His side? We juntamos the accounts. And what is finite, limited sins + infinite goodness and grace? INFINITE GOODNESS GRACE AND PERFECTION!!!! WE cannot do ANYTHING good without the grace of God - that´s the power He gives us to do good things-EVERY good thing comes from God-NOTHING good comes from us alone. We NEED Him. And Moroni continues saying that as we are perfected in Him and that as we continue in this pattern, we are SANCTIFIED. That means we BECOME all of this goodness! It´s THIS that I´ve seen here on the mission. 

 

 

As the people of the Book of Mormon said:

 "And they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually."

 

I want to be good, and I want everyone to feel this love from God. 

 

I fasted this weekend to have the Spirit to be able to continue progressing and not to go backwards as many RM´s say happens, and to be able to make the decisions in my front as Christ would. I prayed and fasted like CRAZY! And the sweet answer that I received "This righteous desire of your heart will be granted unto you." I felt so sweetly the Love of my Father as I kneeled in the bathroom closing my fast! (Missionary life...you´re only alone if you´re in the bathroom!!)

 

So yeah, let´s GO!!!! Let´s be the light of the world. Let´s save all the precious almas that are close to us. Let´s become different! 

Moroni 7:31-39

1Timóteo 6:11-16

 

I know that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ with LIVING prophets and apostles bc Jesus Christ lives and we are children of a LIVING God who is an active part of our every day. WE are children of God and He loves us. I know that the Book of Mormon and the Bible are  the word of God and that He speaks to us today. I know that we CAN become better. We are never hopeless. Look to Christ and LIVE!!! Live every moment!!!! Love the people in your every moment and don´t let anything pass by you looking back. Look forward and look UP! It´always better to look up!!!!

 

 

 I know that all of this is true. I know that my family will be eternal doing all we can, and that all we can do and all we can´t will be thanks to the grace and mercy of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I´m excited to see Him again, talk with Him, hug him, and THANK Him, for everything He did. THAT will be the BEST day of my life!!!

 

I love you all! Never forget that, okay!!! Know that I gave my all por amor of my Heavenly Father, Savior, and His children. I have no regrets.

My mission all wrapped up:ALMA 7:24  "And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works."

 

 

I love you all!!!
