Hello fam!!!

This is probably the second to last email you will get from me while I am a missionary. 

President and Hermana Garcia!!!

This week was full of meetings and doing a bunch of random things. We had a meeting with our mission president with all the zone leaders and sister training leaders! It was super awesome! The spirit is always so strong and President Garcia is really awesome. They always have the missionaries going home in the transfer bear their testimonies and this time it was my turn!!! It is a super weird feeling to be on the last stretch but the most strongest feeling I have is gratitude! I am so thankful I came here, for everything I have learned, for all the people I have met, and the experiences I have had, for a WONDERFUL family, and the gospel in my life :) We are truly, truly blessed.

We also had a zone meeting and I talked about good attitude and faith. 2 key ingredients in missionary work, and really in everything we do. One of my favorite things that I have heard in the mission is when the seventy Elder Valenzuela came to our mission and his wife gave a little message as well, she said "Tire el desanimo en la basura, no sirve para nada" or "Throw discouragement in the garbage, it doesnt work at all."  It makes more sense to me in Spanish, but if we have negative thoughts or bad feelings, the best we can do is just throw them away, and look towards the light, which is our loving Heavenly Father who will never leave us.

John 14:18 {I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you}

I have felt this promise time and time again in the mission and this is what gives me hope and faith for an unknown future.

my last zone meeting! it is fun because I have a couple old companions in the zone :)

This week we found a couple less-active families who are super awesome and ready to come back! One of them came to church and he was really happy.

Our little family Ximena and Idar are doing really well. But conversion is never without opposition. We have a lot of faith and if everything goes well they will be baptized this weekend :)

This is my last week!!!!!!!!!!! It will be a good one.  I sure will miss this little patch of the world. Today we are going to eat lunch with a family in my old area! Familia Aguilar! I love them tons. I hope there is room in the house because I invite everyone to come visit me in Utah haha.

Have the most wonderful week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Love you all and see you soon.
