We had a great week this

more investigators and nonmembers than members... so like 30 total! Ha-ha their
improving... Hermana Jameson and I are laughing as I’m writing this because it’s
really funny.

We went to HUANTA this
week!!! It was a beautiful experience!! The elders had everything planned out
and their people were all ready. There is a family there named Kelly and Edgar.
They’re converts of a few weeks and they are really getting going on family history.
They are so cute. I love being able to work with all of the converts. The car
ride was beautiful it was about 1 hour of switch backs! I loved it!! I got some
good pics!

This week I’ve been thinking
a lot about perfectionism. There’s a great article about it in the July 2014 Ensign,
(Becoming Perfect in Christ). Mistakes really are so amazing... we have the
chance to change... which is the doctrine of Christ.... CHANGE. As hard as it is. Heavenly Father sent us here
knowing we wouldn’t be perfect and that’s the reason that He sent His son. The
strongest and best act of Love, the Atonement. I’m so grateful for the
Atonement. I was reading a talk about grace from Sheri Dew from women’s
conference at BYU. It was very insightful. I had to ask myself... How good is
my relationship with my Savior... I have to admit I have a long way to go.

But
as we learn and live to be like Him, the most supreme and best role model, we
will have His Grace and His Angels surrounding us to help us do things we couldn’t
do on our own. I love the song Come unto Christ.. it’s the theme for this year
(youth of the church).. the message is beautiful in it. The invitation to Come
unto Christ is an invitation to become better, to become more, to become a disciple
of Him.

To be strong and powerful, a light upon a Hill that cannot be hid. It’s
easier said than done but, I love the Atonement and I am so grateful for it. I
love this quote I think by Pres Uchdorf that says the first step toward
potential is acknowledging your weaknesses (“Lord is it I”, LDS.org, Oct. 2014).
I love you! Here are some scriptures I love.

28Come unto me, all ye that
labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest .
29Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart : and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.
30For my yoke is easy , and my
burden is light.

Book of Mormon
32Yea, come unto Christ, and be
perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny
yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and
strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be
perfect in Christ; and if by the grace...
33And again, if ye by the grace
of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in
Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which
is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins , that ye
become holy , without spot.

Book of Mormon
14And I will also ease the
burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon
your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand
as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the
Lord God, do visit my people in...
15And now it came to pass that
the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea,
the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease,
and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord.
16And it came to pass that so
great was their faith and their patience that the voice of the Lord came unto
them again, saying: Be of good comfort, for on the morrow I will deliver you
out of bondage.

4And after they had been
received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the
Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and
their names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good
word of God, to keep them in the...
Have a great week!!
