*Cough Cough*


Hola everyone!

Alright I know I talk about the weather so much but this entire week it was either cloudy or it rained!! It was honestly the biggest blessing. Thank you to whoever sent their prayers over to the two little roasting hotdogs because it worked! We actually had a huge rainstorm on Saturday night which was fun :)

The rainstorm (I know it looks like snow but it's rain I promise)

THE GOOD STUFF:
So we had a really cool lesson with a lady and her two daughters that we have only taught once before. The first time we met them Xiomara (the mom) told us that she was Caltholic, but that she wouldn't turn away "la palabra de Dios" aka the word of God. So we shared a scripture about Christ and left them with the restoration pamphlet and put a day to come back. We came back the next week and were very surprised to find out that Camila (one of the daughters who is 18) had read the whole thing and had lots of questions about Joseph Smith. So we sat down and we taught the restoration. Hermana Heaton bore her testimony about the first vision and the spirit was so strong and the room went super quiet. We waited a minute and then asked them how they felt. Xiomara (the mom) told us that she felt tranquility. She just kept putting her hand on her chest and kept saying that she felt something that she couldn't describe. It was so cool to see a change in her and see her heart open up to the gospel. The week before she told us that she couldn't come to church but after this lesson she said that she thinks she can come! Her daughters are really excited about coming as well. My favorite part about missionary work is watching peoples hearts open up and when you just know that they felt something special. 


Just a happy lil Missionary with her favorite island flowers

THE FUN STUFF:
Okay so this isn't really fun, but me and my comp both got gripe (gree-peh) this week. Gripe is your classic head cold, with a sore throat, runny nose and cough. Not super fun but we are pushing through it! Although we do sound like two old men trying to teach the gospel hahaha.

Don't forget to love like He does and NEVER give up!

Con amor, 
Hermana Kmetzsch

The Savior of the World

Hello everyone! This week was great! I picked up my new little greenie on Wednesday and she is the cutest! Her name is Hermana Kirkham and she's from South Jordan, Utah! She's super spunky and we are having a great time :) This weeks email is going to be a little bit different. I wanted to take this opportunity (because Christmas is this week) to share my Testimony of the Savior. I KNOW that He lives and that He loves us more than we could ever imagine. He doesn't only love us but He knows us personally. Whenever we feel lost or like we just can't go on, He is there to strengthen us and to not only walk beside us, but to carry us. He is in every detail of our lives. All we have to do is look for Him. I KNOW that He atoned for our sins and He sacrificed so that one day we can live again and that death is not the end.   We are not alone. Our Savior, Our Redeemer, The Prince of Peace, The Bread of Life, The Great Shepherd and was born on Christmas day to save us, to...

Hola everyone!  This week was awesome! We had zone conference with two members of the 70 who were doing a mission tour this week! Elder Alverado is actually speaking in conference in October and he is AWESOME so I encourage you all to pay special attention to him.  Zone Conference THE GOOD STUFF: So this week we had zone conference and boy was it amazing. We had two members of the 70 there and spoke to us. Elder Alverado talked about the gathering of Israel and how it is the most important work on the earth. We really are in a time where we are preparing for Christ to come. It's a cool experience to be completely immersed and dedicated to this gathering and this work. A scripture that we have been using a lot this week is in 2 Nephi 26:33. It says:   33  For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he  a inviteth ...

Hola everyone!  This week was crazy and full of miracles! I also hit 6 months so that is just crazy sauce. Time is flying by and I just can't keep up!  THE GOOD STUFF: So. Gary. We went back to his house after the tithing lesson and he said that he feels so good and he just can't wait for Saturday to come! I have never met anyone so prepared and ready for the gospel. He said that he knows how much his life is going to change but how he is willing to give up everything because the changes he is going to make are worth far more than anything else.  We also have a new friend we are teaching named Carlos. He is 21 and speaks English! He is so interested in the gospel and really was looking for the truth when we found him. We gave him a Book of Mormon this week and he told us that he was going to read the whole thing as fast as he could cause he just wants to know if its true for himself.  I am realizing the importance of putting the gospel first ...
