Week #13: ¡Halloween en Uruguay!


Hola hola everybody! Hope things are going well for everyone back home. Things are going great here in Delta Del Tigre baby! I had my first Halloween here and it was sweet! Lots of kids running around truco o dulce -ing here! Haha it was nice to see just some kids running around doing that, reminded me a little of home and brought a smile to my face! It was a great week here as far as the work goes. We have some seriously awesome people we are teaching right now. We are hoping they all progress really well in the coming weeks. So many of them are just so interested in the Book of Mormon, and its so fun and awesome to teach them about it and help them understand what the Book of Mormon really is. My testimony of this book just keeps growing by the day!

A scripture that I really love that Id like to share with ya'll this week is John 14:27 (might be wrong on the verse sorry) but it is Christ talking about the peace He gives each of us. "My peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you." Thats from memory so it might be wrong haha, but I really love what the Savior was teaching in this moment. We can all find peace in Christ. You might think you can find peace from the wordly things of society, but none of them will ever give you peace like the Savior can. Life is tough, dont make it harder by not taking what Christ is offering you! Jesus Christ performed the Atonement so that we can all rely on Him and come unto Him! He has descendth below them all, no one is out of reach of His arms. I love you all tons and miss ya. I hope you each have a great week! Ciao ciao!!!
