Feliz Ano Novo!!

Feliz ano novo to everyone!!!!

New years is a big party here! Everyone is out BBQing listening to loud music, and setting off fireworks! We spent the beginning of the night with a family at their party, but left and were in bed by 1030 (exact obedience ha-ha). We knew when it was midnight, I think everyone here set off fireworks at mid night! Ha-ha it was awesome!

But man! A new year! Crazy to think that this whole year of 2015 will all be missionary work! I’m super stoked about that! I’ve felt like I’ve been here so long and have learned so much! I’m so excited to have so much time left to continue to learn and grow and teach and serve! I love this work!!

This week was pretty uneventful... it was full of teaching and contacting and walking and rain and sweating. But also this week a part of my testimony was strengthened a ton! And that is that God really is our Father. He is our Heavenly Father and we literally are His children. He loves us like a father loves his children but then 10000X more! He doesn’t like to see us sad and He is ALWAYS there to comfort us when we see after Him. He will ALWAYS answer our prayers, He will always give us the strength to move forward, He is so real and so aware of every single one of us and our needs. He is there and wants to help us 24/7. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father and everything He has given me and everything He helps me with every single day! There is seriously no way I could go through life, or go on a mission without His help!

So yeah everything here is great!! Loving missionary life! I think everyone should try it sometime!! Ha-ha next week I promise to write more! This week just wasn’t very eventful! Okay well I love you all so much! Thank you for your constant love and support!!! Have a great day being you!!!

SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK:

Ether 12:6 & 12

6. e agora eu, moroni quisera falar algo a respeito dessas coisas. quisera mostrar ao mundo que fé são coisas que se esperam, mas não se veem; portanto não disputeis porque não vedes, porque não recebeis testemunho senão depois da prova de vossa fé

12. pois, se não houver fê entre os filhos dos homens, Deus não pode fazer milagres entre eles. portanto ele não apareceu senão depois que tiveram fê.

TRANSLATION:

6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.

12 For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith.
