Hello! It has been another great week on the mission. We got to see Tania be baptised. It was a really nice service. All of the Young women from the ward came and supported her. There ended up being a lot of people there. Then this sunday Tania got confirmed a member of the church and recieved the gift of the holy ghost. This girl is so sweet and I am so happy for her.
This week we have also found a lot of service projects. On Wed. we helped tanias grahama move a mountian of rocks out of the road. We found her shoveling away like it was nothing. So we decided to help her out while we waited for Tania to get home. It didnt take long with the three of us working. We joked afterwards saying things like 'We moved mountains today'. Its crazy what a little faith and works can do. We also had the opportunity to visit a hermana in the Branch. We went with hna Avaige( she is so funny she kind of reminds me of betty white) to visit hna Mora. Hna Mora is having problems with her kidneys. We ended up helping out around the house then we had a little lesson. I am so happy to be part of a church that does this kind of service.
I was reading in Enos this week about when Enos humbly prayed to God for forgiviness of his sins and then he was forgiven. This is so true in our lives. I know that when we use the gospel and the atonement in our lives we can feel whole. We can be healed and have the influence of the spirit in our lives more abundently. Then after he said something interesting in verse 9 saying that he wanted to share with others. I am so grateful to be here on the mission because I have learned so much about the atonement and how it can help people become happy. When we come to know the atonement and use it in our lives we come to have the desire to share it with others. I just love the Scriptures. I know that this church is true and I am so grateful to have it in my life. Well got to go. I love you all and you all are just so wonderful!

Ps here are the verses from Enos 1.
4 And my soul ahungered; and I bkneeled down before my Maker, and I ccried unto him in mightydprayer and supplication for mine own soul; and all the day long did I cry unto him; yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens.
5 And there came a avoice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are bforgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed.
6 And I, Enos, knew that God acould not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away.
7 And I said: Lord, how is it done?
8 And he said unto me: aBecause of thy bfaith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee cwhole.
9 Now, it came to pass that when I had heard these words I began to feel a adesire for thebwelfare of my brethren, the Nephites; wherefore, I did cpour out my whole soul unto God for them.
