Give me Mountains to Climb...because their taken me higher

Buenos dias!!

 

We are hot and sweaty but still Happy! Hna Bott and Hna Bailey

So this week was super great! I went to Concilio (council) on Monday after we emailed, with Hermana Bailey!! Yes that is right... the one and only Hermana Bailey… Oh it was so good. Over 24 hours with her! We stayed the night with 2 Hermana’s in San Juan and when we got there we couldn’t find them and the assistants wouldn’t answer their phones so we were all alone on the street at like 9 at night. Haha it was funny....  She really is THE BEST. She is soooo talented in everything she does and she gives the best advice. She always serves others first. 

Fill the world with the Light of Christ

 

 The beauty of Perú around me

Ok concilio was super good. We talked about view point and integrity and faith. I’ll say more later about it but then in our area we had a SUPER good week. Heavenly Father is really blessing us, a lot. Ismena is doing so good. I love seeing the gospel change people. She is happier and so is her son Jefer. Seriously when we met him he wouldn’t even talk to us and then after sacrament meeting he would seriously cry so hard because he didn’t want to be there but now he talks to all the primary kids he went to the activities and now he asks where his classes are... it’s amazing. We went to a baptism with her this past week and she said how much she loves feeling the spirit and she can feel it changing her. I love her tons.

Sharing the gospel brings JOY

 

Sweet Carla, oh how I miss her!

Then, we had interviews with president. It was the best. He is so inspired! The Atonement is so amazing!! I read Mosiah 2-5 this past week and all I can say is that King Benjamin was a SERVER! He thought of others before he thought about himself. He knew how to apply the Atoning Blood of Christ. Let the Atonement work through you! Let it change you. Study it and apply it. 

Mom will you attach two music videos? The first is say love by Hilary Weeks and the other is come take your place.

So here’s my miracle of the week but it happened almost a year ago. I had been in the field about 1 week and Hermana Merren and I were up in Las Viñas and it is just a bunch of sand dunes with huts. I’ll be honest I was in SHOCK of the culture and everything and I just was wondering what I was doing there. But as I was complaining in my head, out of nowhere life’s a climb by Miley Cyrus came on. It hit me to the core of my heart. Life is a climb but the view is amazing. And we are still climbing always. But, Christ is here to help us. I love the mission. I love life. Have a happy week!

 

Say Love!

Love

Hermana Bott

mom will you attach the lyrics to lifes a climb... i was going to put them but I don't remember all of  them... haha

I can almost see it.
that dream I'm dreaming, but
there's a voice inside of my head, tellin'
you'll never reach it
every step I'm takin'
every move I make
feels lost in no direction, 
my faith is shakin'
but I gotta keep tryin'
gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
it's a climb

The struggles I'm facing
the changes I'm taking
sometimes they knock me down, but 
no I'm not breaking
I may not know where, but
these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most
I've just gotta keep goin', and
I gotta be strong
just keep pushing on, but

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
it's a climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
it's a climb

Keep on movin'
keep climbin'
keep faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
the climb
keep the faith, keep your faith, woah
