Graduation


Hola everyone!

So this week was a little crazy! We had transfers and I am staying here in Esperanza but I had to say goodbye to my mission mom Hermana Heaton. It was very bitter sweet but I have been blessed with the cutest new companion named Hermana De La Cruz (yes, like from the movie "Coco") and she is from Mexico! She is so sweet and such a hard worker. 

Me and my cute new comp

THE GOOD STUFF:
Noelia and Nicolas came to conference! They loved it. We are currently working with them to get enough money to get married and baptized by the end of the month! To say I am excited is an understatement. They have such a desire to follow christ and do what is right. 

Speaking of conference, WOW! The Prophets and Apostles really are inspired and Christ really is the head of this church! I loved every minute of conference and if you haven't had a chance to watch it I encourage you to! I loved the stress of the importance of making Christ the center of our lives. There are a lot of good and important things in life, but we need to make sure that Christ is the center of it all and that we put him before anything else. Sometimes it's hard when the world is so strong but the blessings we will receive in this life and in the life to come are far greater than we can ever imagine. All Christ asks of us is to come follow him :) 

Conference buddies: (Its hot outside but the church gets coooollldd)

THE FUN STUFF: 
Nothing too exciting happened this week but I did slip and fall this morning in our house. The floor was super wet from the mop and I was walking to the kitchen with a plate in one hand and a cereal bowl in the other. Long story short, I got a nice bruise and milk in my hair hahaha. 

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

Con MUCHO amor, 
Hermana Kmetzsch 

Ice cream (yes again, there aren't many fun things to do here in Esperanza)

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 ...
