Be the One!

Sisters are the best!

Well this week was great! 
We have our temple trip on Saturday. Our goal raised from 10 to 15!! So, we are really seeing miracles here. It is going to be a miracle this Saturday!  It’s A LOT of planning and coordinating with recommends and people and their buses. It’s crazy! But I love it!! For our service on Thursday we went to el terminal, which is where all the buses are. We got all the bus prices and when they leave Ayacucho for Lima. IT was an adventure but we found some good buys for the converts!

Then on Wednesday we had a family history lesson at a ladies house and as we were walking back we ran into a Jehovah ’s Witness from California. She is 28 and super cute! It was a good experience. We were able to testify in English and explain a little about the restoration. It was also good because it confirmed to me that the gospel is true, it’s always good to ask if it is true. I know that this is the true church of Jesus CHrist that He is at the head and runs His church, and that priesthood keys have been restored! I love the gospel!


So, I almost am at a year! It’s crazy! I don’t know where time went!!! Really. But I still have time to serve and give my all to the Lord.

So, here is a “I haven’t in 1 year....”
Driven a car
used a washing machine
seen a dish washer, just a small list I’ll think of more later.
Cute Carla

But on the Saturday before I left Sis. Dalton came and spoke in our stake. Her talk was perfect for the transition and change that would be happening that upcoming week. SO I will share  a little from what she said: 

The theme was Philippians 4:13 and Proverbs 3:5-6
some of my favorites..

 Philipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Proverbs 3:5-6  5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

As we have huge transitions in our life the lord will be there for us every step of the way because He is omniscient and all knowing. He doesn’t need our help but He allows us to come closer to Him. She said the 2 greatest challenges she saw as she traveled the world was virtue and loneliness. We are NEVER ALONE!!!!!!! 
Glad missionaries can have fun

Opposition has never been so great and neither has there been so many opportunities!

Don’t be discouraged, that’s Satan’s trick! Go to the temple Heavenly Father will speak to you there. }

The example of Esther. She had many challenges but she was ONE virtuous young woman who changed the world! 

But thou hast come to the kingdom at such a time as this. (Esther 4:14)

1 Virtuous woman led by the spirit CAN change the world! You are stronger than you think, you are because of who you are and who is there for you! Yes, we are human and make mistakes. But, we have the atonement of Christ and it enables us to do things we think we can’t.

What will protect us- The temple and family history work

Young men and Women CAN and DO change the world!

Young Women theme
We are daughters ( and I’ll add sons) of a Heavenly Father who loves us and we love Him!

We can repent and remain worthy and stay on the path. 

Be the One! The Savior ministered ONE by ONE
The Lord needs virtuous children
Be the... 1 mother, the 1 father, 1 daughter, 1 son, 1 grandparent, 1 friend, 1 missionary, 1 blogger, 1 teacher, 1 priesthood holder, 1 singer, 1 runner, 1 who’s courageous 

Because you can change the world!

Our influence can be so powerful! We find our power in our purity and virtue!!!

Use social media for good 

PROMISE- if we will be united and stand with one voice we will have strength incalculable. 
Our power lies in virtue and purity!

When you’re on the Lord errand you have his help!
Crazy sister missionaries!

YES, we do have challenges but we have the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, isn’t that a reason to rejoice!!!

Love you! Remember who you are and whose you are! Have a great week!


D and C 19:23 Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.
LOVE
Hermana Bott
