The One Where Aimee Ran Out of Time

Pday selfie with Hermana Christensen

          We had a lesson with Maria Jose. I LOVE lessons with her because even though she is Evangelic and has a million questions, she believes in the Book of Mormon. Every time she has a question or doubt, we can always give her the answer through the Book of Mormon. Because of her, I have learned that having a testimony of the Book of Mormon is KEY to our conversion process.

Krishna accepted a baptismal date for the middle of December. Oh and everyone here is so nice and gave us 2 full bags of blueberries and some cherries. It was so nice and naturally we decided to make lemon pie with blueberries on top for district meeting.

                We had zone conference and it was so good. We talked about the goal we have as a mission of 60 baptisms by the end of September and the plans we have to accomplish the goal. As a zone we want to have 10, so we are all pumped to work hard!

                BUT in other good news, 1 MONTH UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! We are all pumped for Christmas and to share the video #Light the World with EVERYONE! #iluminaelMUNDO

We had interviews with President. BEST THANKSGIVING EVER. Seriously I love President so much. Just being around him, I feel energy and motivation to work harder. He talked about this acceleration in the mission and how we need to know Preach My Gospel like we know the scriptures. He said, “When I say that we need to share Ether 12:27, you all know what I’m talking about. When we are able to do that with Preach My Gospel, we will finally start having the success that we are hoping for. When I say that we need to share the quote by President Monson on page 191, and you all know what I am referring to, then we will start to reach the potential we have as a mission.”

                                We had this training and the zone leaders talked about faith. They said something that really hit me. They said that the little things we do by faith TRANSFORM us. They change our nature. I loved when Elder Vosquez said, “If we want to be a different person, we have to do things differently.” We have to start doing things we have never done before. Through these little changes, we become new people. Through our faith, the power of God changes us. Even our very nature.
