Let the rain fall down and make me crash...
...okay well I didn't crash, but almost.
Hello and welcome to a happy email!
It's been raining a lot this past week and let's just say it's hard to see when it's like that. I seriously still think about Daniel McConkie every time it rains. I think I said that a year ago too. Haha see! Anyway, Things are great here on "Pixie"...that's my purple bike that elder Gomm is letting my use. Holy Hannah I'm going to remember that bike forever. I'll send some photos :-)
So we can now email for as long of time as we want president just told us on friday! That means I can actually write you back to your emails! hahaha! So I'll take my time now :-) Not break a sweat jjajajajajaja
Alright so what I learned about the whole new mission thing. There will me 600 missionaries within the 3 missions. The new Bakerfield mission will have their new mission president announced soon, so be aware :-) Seriously the work is exploding here. Is that a good word to use? I wonder....the work is progressing rapidly....maybe that's better. Either way you know what I mean. It's so exciting, I get all antsy talking about it.
Elder Holland said that the greatest convert that should come out of the mission is the one that goes home, that's me. I should be converted the most when I get homw. There is a large percentage..I can't remember like 60? I don't know that go back from their missions and fall away from the church. That can't and won't be me. I can't believe everything I ddin't get before the mission. I want to come home and teach all the youth what I know. I wish I would have known...but that's what God wanted me on my mission. God knows what's best for us and He knew that when I went on my mission, my life would be changed forever because I would apply all that I have learn after the mission. I don't want to be one of the missionaries that comee back and don't read the scriptures or put God first. I get it even better know and I'm grateful God allowed me to be more fully converted. The Book of Mormon changes hearts, and I read that knowing that God will fulfill His promises.
The following mormon messages I love:
Please watch them :-)
Did you know that we are IN the Second Coming already? I didn't actually realize that till this week. As I was tlaking to hna higley and allred and Sanders, they we telling us (since they just came from the MTC) that Elder Holland had said that. He also said that all the prophets in the scriptures knew they were going to fail, all those missionaries knew they were going to fail too, because they knew the apostasia was going to happen. Their only HOPE was this generation. He said that the missionaries of today are fulfilled those prophesies. I am someone's HOPE. We are the generation that will not fail. He said he doesn't know what we did in the pre-earth life or what we have done here on earth to be privilaged to serve as His representative, but we have been called and choosen to do His Work in His way. That IMPACTED me so much. I got chills as they were sharing that with me. There was more, but I'll save it for later.
Jacob 4:4-6 love.
WE have president interviews tomorrow! I'm excited! Let's see how it goes.
Love,
Hna Arguello
