Oct 12- 19

I love the mission! I can’t believe I completed one year in the mission on October 15th! I am learning more everyday and becoming the daughter of God that He wants me to be.

Our Zone Conference this Friday was incredible and forever changed my perspective about how I’m going to work for the Lord. I know that this program is ordained of God and that My mission President is called of God. We are focusing more on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how they need to understand the 5 principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is: Faith in JESUS CHRIST and HIS ATONEMENT, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End. I am going to focus more on teaching about the Atonement of Jesus Christ so that everyone can understand that they need to have confidence in Jesus by keeping the commandments of God that He will bless us if we do His will. We need to understand that by keeping the commandments we show our love and our willingness to repent of our sins and put of the natural man. Then we understand that baptism is not only a commandment but a sacred covenant with God. The Bible and the Book of Mormon give clear examples of how Jesus was baptized and how he receives the gift of the Holy Ghost. Any other way is doctrine of man and the devil and is of no worth. The scriptures are clear that he that doesn't do these things and endures to the end will be condemned. I am perfecting my way of teaching with my companion daily as we study alone and together and as we do evaluations after every lesson. This week was hard because the members are willing to leave with us but this whole week they canceled on us, it was sad. This week will be the best it is my goal to reach the mission standards this week and then to maintain it every week in my mission. I know it is possible and that it is the will of the Lord for me. I love this great work and being a instrument in the hands of the Lord. It is a privilege to help the Chileans receive their own testimonies so they can study, pray, and be accountable for their actions.
