So, Elder Holland talked to me and my comp

FAAA (wow) this week has been definitely a great one. Saturday as missionaries we had a meeting with Elder Holland and his sweet wife Patricia. Their messages sunk deep into my heart. we as missionaries are represenitives of Jesucristo, literally. this is a time where i forget all of the things of the world. devote all my time, heart,mind, soul, strength... TODO(all) for Him. i cant express all of the things are learned because theres so many. but i do know that this time, my mission, is a great gift. and i cant waste one minute of it. one thing that he said that really got to me is that. "I cant promise that you´ll convert a million souls, but i can promise you one thing... You can be the one truly, deeply converted."

this is a time where i am changing and i have never felt so much joy with all the ups and downs. the one thing is how much closer i feel to God and to Jesus Christ. we all can become truly, deeply converted. and thats because of the son Jesucristo did everything, prepared us a way to volver con Dios, nuestro Padre Celestial. we can change through the atonement.

so sunday im so lucky, no so grateful. i got the opportunity to listen to Elder Holland again. in my stake we had a stake conference with him in the church where i serve. again the messages were amazing muy amorosa. we explained that he is in argentina because in this time the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints is growing like crazy right now. we have about 3 thousand stakes in the world. and there hadnt been an general authority in my area for 33 years. 

okay i want share something!!! i happened to be in the right place at the right time. i was outside of the church looking for investigators and elder Holland happened to be entering the church. i didnt say anything because i didnt want to be some crazy girl screaming. he looked at me and my comp and said, "Hermanas!! how are you?" (with so much excitement) and i shook his hand and i looked into his eyes. might sound silly but just with who he is i felt so much love. i know that he is called of god. i know that he is a man of God and has so much love for all of us.

anyway only really talked about Elder Holland but that´s seriously greatest part of my week and that my investigators got the chance to listen to him live. love you all!!!!!!!!!!! la iglesia es verdadera! :)
