Sealing and Joy!

So I know it´s no secret how much time I have left... and I know there are only a few emails more, so I hope I can send some good ones ;) And... It´s been a time of thinking about the mission and what´s happened. And this sunday we had an amazing training listening to Quinten L. Cook and some other general authorities. After the meeting I wanted to run and see some of my investigadors from Pacasmayo when a man stopped me that I almost didn´t recognize. In my last week in Pacasmayo we had taught him all the lessons and his name was marco. Marco had been inavtive for 30 years. His wife magnolia had been baptized 14 years ago and she has fought so that one day they could go to the temple. Marco gave me the biggest hug looked me in the eye and said thank you! Yesterday (saturday) I was sealed to my wife and children in the temple!!! Thank you Elder! Later I saw his wife and she said, I want to hug you!!!! But for now I can´t... So my husband will hug you for me ;) Haha, It was a big surprise. They were so happy and magnolia told me, if my family can do it and change, any family can!

We have had some struggles with the familia Rojas. Ricardo has been going through some hard times and has decided to not come to church! His son however will be baptized this month and so will Ana Melva, another investigador. It hurts to see him make that choice, but I know he´ll come home one day. I have been absolutley shocked with how much some people are changed just by our love. Sadly the Lord´s time in there change isn´t usually so we can see it, but after time they realize what they should do. As a missionary and as members we have oppurtunities to invite these people to come home and be in the precense of God their father! Those who accept this message will have so much joy!

I was pondering on a lot of my hard experiences during my mission, and to be honest there have been a lot of times where I have said, I can´t go any further... I give up! And it´s rough a lot of the things we go through, but looking back now I feel something different! I know that the lord was preparing me so that I could have the most wonderful and beautiful experiences in this world. and I know that there will be many more. The mission prepares us for all of lifes challenges, and when we look back all of those moments are absorbed in the joy of the lives of others! Thanks to these two years we save ourselves, and so many more. I know that this message is true, and it´s the only way to feel happiness in this world. It´s because it is the Gospel of our savior Jesus Christ, and he is the only man that lived here on earth, that dedicated everything to saving us. He loves us and wants us to come home and feel the same joy that he has! I love you all so much and I hope you can feel his love! You are all so amazing! Thank you for your love and prayers!
