Good works are Gods gift to you

FAMILY!! HOW IS EVERYONE DOIN?!!

LUKE LACHONEUS TERRY you are getting baptized this Satuday! You look like a stud in your pics! Wow. Im so proud of you my little child of light. :)

Before I forget I wanted to INFORM yall that our converts.. Erica and Antonio BOTH HAVE INTERVIEWS THIS THURSDAY TO GO THROUGH THE TEMPLE THIS SATURDAY.Ummm WHAT?! IM SO PROUD MY HEAD COULD BUST!! Ahhh God seriously just took over control and is taking care of them. Ahh. Im so so so so so proud. I feel like their MOM! Proudest mom on the planet!

This week we had splits!  I went to LA BOCA (holla. everyone missed meeee. :)) and when I was there I got sick! AHH I WAS SO MAD. I have no idea how I got sick? But whatever. YA FUE. I learned a lot of awesome things with Hermana Jensen. During personal study I felt like I needed to read a talk that was sitting on her desk, called the fourth missionary.

I found two quotes that changed my life:

Jesus said: "The kingdom of God is within you." It is in your head and in your heart. It starts in your head and then your heart follows. You only need say to the Lord in your head, "I give up. I surrender. I won't fight anymore. Here it is. Here are my desires. Here is my will. I want only to do what you want me to do. That's enough for me. That's all I want, because it is the only intelligent thing to do." 

Isnt that soooo beautiful?!!! :) OKay last one:

 

" I am doing my best. I have a lot of weaknesses and a lot to learn. But I am withholding nothing from the Lord. I am serving with all of my might, mind, heart and strength. I am faithful and giving it all I have to give."

I really hope I can say that by the end of my mission. Theres nothing more beautiful than giving your life to the Lord. ITS SO MUCH EASIER THAT WAY!

So I had another really good study that Id like to share with you guys. I wrote it all down so I wouldnt forget it:))

18 de Septiembre:

Today I studied in Mormon 9. Its such a great chapter to bajar la cana with people who dont believe in Christ. Lately Ive been pondering on the Book of Mormon and MY OWN testimony on it. I think the number 1 reason why me encanta el libro de mormon is that the words are always ALWAYS pleading to COME UNTO CHRIST. And in Mormon Chapter 9:27 says: ¨come unto the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART, AND WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with fear and trembling before him.¨How weird is that? Work out your own salvation. We always hear we are saved by our works and from the grace of God. SO what really IS our works? So then I read in Philippians 2:13: ¨FOR IT IS GOD THAT WORKETH IN YOU both to will and to do his good pleasure.¨ UMMM PEOPLE ARE WE FORGETTING that our own works comes from GOD?! HEEEE is the one that influences us to do GOOD. as we COME unto God with all of our heart.. .. We will begin to understand that all of the wonderful works we do comes from our MASTER who created us. God is truly amazing. The plan of Salvation is a plan that is FAIR FOR ALL. IT IS A PLAN OF SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH, EIGHTH, NINTH, TENTH, ELEVENTH CHANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHY IM HERE IN ARGENTINA. ONe more scripture:

Jesus read this scripture to the people in Nazereth:

¨The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath annointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,¨

THIS VERSE SCREAMED OUT TO ME. Im doing the same thing what Jesus came to do! EVen if I feel like no one notices my work.. No importa. I came here to do what my Father wants me to do. And to all you missionaries out there, keep preaching, keep loving, keep healing the broken hearts of the world. God loves us and notices our work. Right down to the little things we do for him. As a team we will accomplish what this scripture asks of us.

CHAU FAM!!!

HERMANA TERRYBLEMENTE FELIZ. Carry On!
