So this week was a very fun week!!! We had a couple of meetings with President and we decided that right now there is alot of Pride in the mission right now. When a misionary doesent wnat to Obey its because he wants to do what he wants to do instead of what the Lord wants him to do! So we called an emergency meeting and tried to be guided by the Spirit and teach the mission alittle more about the sin of pride. I love how alma puts it in Alma 5:28, I invite you all to ask yourselves the same question!!!
28 Behold, are ye stripped of pride? I say unto you, if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God. Behold ye must prepare quickly; for the kingdom of heaven is soon athand, and such an one hath not eternal life.
We also had Zone conferences with Palao, Rimac and Las Flores! We had alot of fun but also learned alot with them! This week has been filled with alot more Administering and not to much ministring but thats ok! We are called to serve!!!
Anyways i hope you are all strengthening your testimonys ever day. I have gained a love for the scriptures. they are shaping me into who i am!!!
Also, this week Sister larson showed us the last 8 minutes of the Joseph Smith movie. It ends with his and Hyrums martyr and ends with a quote from the Prophet Joseph Smith,"Should we not go on in such great a cause?" These many, and many others, literally gave there life for this gospel, What are we willing to give? Are we willing to wake up in the morning an hour early to study the scriputres? Are we willing to do our home teaching more than the required amount? Are we willing to share our testimony? What are we willing to give?
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!

MOM! Things are great here in the mission! Right now it would be considered, "Winter." hahaha so right now we have 168 missionarys in the mission but in the next 3 transfers we will boost back up to 200. That will be fun! this week we have had no time to work in our own sector becuase we have been in meetings and reunion. Monday we were with President and he called us in. We talked with him and Sister Larson about a couple problems that there are in the mission and the biggest one we found was PRIDE. Alot of missionarys are hiding things and not confesing sins and all that. So President wanted to have a meeting with the whole mission to baisically call it unto repentance. We watched a couple of talks and we gave a special training. if theres one thing i have learned in the mission its to fear God more than man. I have been able to put my trust in god and he has changed me! before the mission i never liked saying No but now its now problem. So the meeting we had was pretty straightfoward! We then had Zone conferencias yesterday so we went to the mision home in the morning and President and Sister Larson drove us to the ILN. We had a great zone conference and we all learned alot!
MOM! HE HAS TO GO TO UTAH STATE. haha Sister Larson bags on me soooo hard because im going there haha they are both big YBU fans and she trys all in her power to change my mind haha I honestly see them as my second parents! but NO ONE could replace you and dad! Anyways i will be praying for hayden alot. That is ver exciting about everyone!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!
That is crazy!!!! Yah i think the problems come along with all missions! President Larson is such an inspired man. Yesterday in his car we informed him of some stuff we found iout about and we got pretty upset, he said i was not called ot be a baby sitter!! President is so merciful that missionarys try to take advantage of him. He doesent care if the take advantage of him he just doesent want them to TRY and take advantage of the Lord. There are alot of misionarys that should have been sent home but Pres is so nice and wants to help!! Im glad that gabe is good! I cant believe that he is that old! We need to help him a ton!!
