I can't believe I'm writing this

April 11th 2016

Well this is it. My last email I will be sending out to everyone...wow I cannot believe how fast time has flown by. It feels like just yesterday I arrived here to mexico from the MTC. I remember meeting my first companion and not understanding a word she said hahaha I remember the thought coming to my mind "How am I going to preach the Gospel to God's children if I cant understand what they are saying? How am I going to teach them if I don't know what to say?" 

Haha and now my companion can't get me to be quiet haha XD Wow, I am truly blessed with the time I have had to serve here in Mexico. These 18 months really have been the best months of my life, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. They have been months full of joy, sadness, difficulties, pain, patience, and so many more emotions and feeling I cannot begin to describe. I am truly grateful for the time I have had here, because through the service of God I have found what I am truly capable of. I finally figured out what it means to be a child of God.

This past week I was reading in the book of Moses, the part where Satan is trying to tempt Moses to adore him and I love the response that Moses gives to Satan:

13 And it came to pass that Moses looked upon Satan and said: Who art thou? For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of his Only Begotten; and where is thy glory,that I should worship thee?

Out of all the responses Moses could have made to Satan, he said "I am a son of God" "I am a child of God" we were made in the image of our Heavenly Father, the image of Jesus Christ. We have the potential to perform miracles, we have the potential to do things that we can't even imagine. God has given us talents and gifts that we need to use and strengthen so we can help others. We have the potential to bring lives back to God! We have testimonies that can heal the broken, we have words and talents to lift up the fallen. Don't ever waste them. 

To Satan we are Nothing, but to God we are everything and He has given us everything, Don't ever forget it. 

I love you all and miss you all a ton and thank you to everyone that has written me and has supported me in these 18 months. I am really excited to see you again, and to see how much your testimonies have grown. 

I will be talking Sunday, the 24 of April, in the Cedar Stake Center at 11:00am, I hope to see you all there =) NOS VEMOS!!!!
