Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Well today we had changes but nothing changed here in Lo Cañas the 4 of us are Hermanas are staying put. I am pretty happy about it and I am excited to still be companions with Hna. Castellón. We have grown so much closer this last week and I think that we are really going to enjoy this change. I am also glad that I didn´t have to worry about packing and changing.

Hna. Wojciechowski "mi mamá" goes home today. It´s weird to think of the mission without her and I don´t think it will really hit me until we get together as a mission and she´s not there. That leads me to my next topic. Saturday we´re getting together as a mission with the North mission for a VERY VERY special devotional. Someone very special is coming. I really have no clue who it is but I´m pretty positive it´s an apostle. An elder asked President today who is coming and president said that he couldn´t tell us because he promised the area presidency that he wouldn´t tell. So I´m very excited for Saturday and it´s going to be a very special spiritual experience.

We didn´t have the baptism yesterday. Something happened last week that made it so she couldn´t be baptised but instead she is going to be baptised this coming Sunday. That is another reason I am glad to be staying in this sector so that I can see her be baptised.

On Friday Hna. Castellón and I went to visit an investigator. As we entered the house there was a coffin in the living room and nothing else. I thought to myself "is this for real or is it something for Halloween" It was for real. The investigators mother had just died and the mom was right there in the living room. Not going to lie I was a little creeped out, but I also thought what a great opportunity to share the plan of salvation. The whole time I was thinking about Opa and how it´s almost been a year since he passed away. I can´t imagine dealing with someone dying without knowing what happens.

I love the plan of salvation. It´s perfect and it really is centered in the atonement of Jesus Christ. Through Christ we can receive a forgiveness of our sins and enter into the presence of our loving heavenly father again. I love testifying of how God is our loving heavenly father because I know WITHOUT A DOUBT that he is. He is our father, he knows each of us and wants each of us to find eternal happiness, a happiness that the things of this world can´t give.

I love you all!!!
