sorry that i havent written a big email for awhile but this week was a fantastic week!!!! last tuesday we had the mission wide conference with Elder Clarke and he is so cool I loved it! it was a little bit about ipads but more just about missionary work and life advice. He talked a lot about accountability and goal setting, something that is really important in missionary work and also in life. As we prayerfully set goals we are commiting with Heaven on what we are going to do. Elder Clarke said that if we dont set and achieve goals we will look back on our lives and realize that we didnt reach our potential or achieve all that we could have. I don't want to feel like that at the end of my mission or life so I am working on my goal setting! He also talked a lot about having a purpose in everything that we do and specifically with technology. If we know our purpose when unlocking our phones or ipads we wont waste time or get into trouble. He said problems with everything usually arise when we don't have a PLAN. so just something to think about. it was fun to see the rest of the mission there and i got to sit with sister briggs. heres some fun facts of the week
1- this saturday jose's girlfriend is getting baptized, she was supposed to be baptized with him in march but they broke up the week of. sister chamberlain and I have continued to send her texts of scriptures and ask her about baptism since then and shes finally coming around. she has a really strong testimony and so were super excited.
2- they want us to plan their wedding for june so we got a lot of work to do hahah you guys are planning a wedding at home and im planning one here
3- yesterday was sister chamberlains birthday so a bunch of members and investigators wanted to have cake....we didnt sleep too well last night because our stomachs hurt so bad
haha i cant think of anything else right now it all escapes my mind when I get on the computer
next tuesday I am meeting with president about argentina. I felt really strongly that i should fast about it sunday so I did and then monday I opened up the scriptures to the bible dictionary on faith and saw highlighted "confidence in Him without reservation" I knew that was an answer to my prayers so i talked with my president and set up the appointment I really feel in my heart that the Lord wants me to go Argentina and he just needs me to have the faith to act. I am a little nervous about meeting with presdient just because of all of the MTC experiences but I do know that the Lord's hand is in the details of the work and that he will provide a way for me to serve where he needs me to serve.
I am really happy to be staying in Chula Vista for another transfer with sister chamberlain! this area is taking off and I know we will have a lot of sucess together these next six weeks. I love you all!!!!
