Bienvenidos!

She received her Bolivian Visa!

So, this week, in the area I am serving in, two missionaries came home. Like, One Sister and one Elder finished their 18 months and 2 years of missionary service and came home. It is really exciting! They are HOME! And we live with the family of the Sister who came home, and they are all SUPER happy to have her home. obviously.

It is kind of weird, because it makes me think a lot more about when I will be going home. Like, it still is a while away, and I am very content here in Bolivia. But, you just can`t help but think about going home to see your family, when you see someone coming home and seeing theirs! Haha.

But I am doing really well here. I really like the area I am in, and I get along really well with my companion. She is really funny.

This past few weeks I have been studying a lot about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. (The sacrifice Jesus Christ made for us, taking upon himself all of our sins and afflictions, and giving us the opportunity to repent and be worthy to return to the presence of God after this life.) And I have been feeling and recognizing more and more everyday the love that Jesus Christ has for every single person. This huge sacrifice He made, because He loves us.

I have been thinking a lot about how I don`t only want to have this spirit and energy to share His gospel in this
mission. I want to keep it going my whole life. A lot of things in my daily life will change when I get home, but my testimony will not. I am learning so much here, and I keep learning and strengthening my testimony every day.

I hope everyone has a great week, and can really try to recognize all of the blessings God gives us every day!
