Family and Friends,

First of all, thank you so much for sending that package with Elder Miles, it was much needed!! And I loved the picture of Justin and I!

Well this is IT, the last Pday at the CCM!!! I can´t even believe I´m done! I don´t feel quite ready yet, there is still so much more that I want to learn, but I guess I can´t do much about it! This has honestly been the best 5 weeks of my life, it has really made me realize what is important in life to do. This week I was able to finish reading the Book of Mormon again and let me tell you I got so much more out of it than I have before. I KNOW IT IS TRUE! I always had a testimony of it, but every time I read it it just gets stronger and stronger. Those writings are inspired, and if you have yet to read the Book of Mormon all the way through I challenge you to do it! It may seem long, but I read it in 5 weeks in only my personal study time (which is not often) so you can get through it. It will help answer any question that you have and you will feel so much closer to your Heavenly Father. I know without a doubt that He loves each and every person that is reading this email plus everyone else in the world. His love for you is SO much more than you can even fathom.

Today I had a wonderful experience on the bus on the way back from the temple. I sat next to an older woman who had headphones in. When I sat down I immediately introduced myself and asked for her name. I couldn´t quite understand because it was loud, but I think it was Louisa (it´s ok because if I pray for her Heavenly Father will know who I´m talking about). I told her I was a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I asked about her belief in God and she said she was Catholic. I pulled out the Book of Mormon I had just bought at the distribution center and started talking about how it is another testament of Jesus Christ visiting the people in the Americas. I told her we use it along with the Bible and it is a true book. My Spanish is still not very good, but after I had written the mormon.org website on the back page I bore my testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. At this moment I looked straight into her eyes and told her that I KNOW the book is true and that if she reads it, it will bring her happiness and peace in her life. I felt the love that Heavenly Father had for her. I will probably never know what happened to her, but I planted a seed, the Spirit was there, and someday she will remember the girl on the bus who gave her the Book of Mormon and changed her life.

From this story, I hope you learn that little things make a huge difference. Louisa may not read the book for years, but one day she will find the truth of the gospel and I will never look back and regret not talking to someone. Everything you do, no matter how small it may seem can make a difference. We promise as members of the church to represent Christ. Do it at all times, in all things, in all places!! It will change your life, it will change others lives!

I don´t have much time left as always, but this week has honestly been so good. I am so excited to get out to the field and teach people. We are going proselyting again this Saturday and I couldn´t be happier. The best times are when I get to talk to people who truly need the gospel in their lives. I hope that I can do all I can to not waste a single opportunity to share the gospel. I love all of you and am constantly praying for you!

Ciao!
