Transfer Week!

My transfer news is..... I'm staying here!!! With my wonderful trainer :) Hermana W and I are going to stay in Altadena for  more weeks.

So we had stake conference this past weekend and it was crazy. Because they asked the missionaries to translate the talks!!! It was pretty terrifying and it stressed me out forever. But I didn't have to do anything because the more experienced missionaries and also people who had known Spanish for more than 3 months were there to help. I was super grateful for that, because I knew that if I tried to translate into Spanish, all the branch would get out of the talks would be a bunch of uuuuuhhh and yo se......uh.......salvador......!!!! So yeah, I'm grateful. Hopefully at some time in the future I will be able to speak enough Spanish to do that, but at the moment it is a large stretch.

The adult session of stake conference was awesome!! I want to share something I wrote down. It's about the story of the man stricken with palsy, and Christ heals him. Then He says, thy sins be forgiven thee! and the Pharisees are all like, Who is this guy, that he thinks he can forgive sin?? No one but God can forgive sin!!!

How does that make you feel? We know that Jesus was the Son of God and we know he forgives sins. I always want to take that guy by the shirt and say "Don't you know who He is????" Now think of a trial you're suffering with. Sometimes people think that they have to suffer alone, and they draw away from the savior and they do suffer alone. But you don't have to do that!!! You are being just like the Pharisees who doubt the Savior. Don't you know who He is?? Don't you know that he suffered everything that we suffer in this life so that he knows what it feels like??? Don't you know that He loves you more than you can comprehend?? (okay, I'll let go of your shirt now)

I know that you and I can do ANYTHING through the savior. I know that He sees our true potential, and He only wants to help us get there. I love this mission and I love this gospel!! And I love all of you!!!!!!!
