Saludos!
It´s been a great week in the montains. A few days ago, it was COLD! I
loved it! I´m sure it was only around 60 degrees, but I was shivering.
But since then it´s been warming up, and feeling a lot more like a
tropical island, unfortunately. haha

The Vargas family finally got married! The missionaries have been
setting dates for the wedding since before I got here! And they did
it! They asked me to be their godmother haha I had to call President
Douglas to make sure that´s okay, and he said go for it! That was a
fun experience. Who knew I would become a mother and a godmother in
the same transfer. :)

For Valentine´s Day we found a little pizza shop that sells heart
shaped pizza. Every year we buy a heart shaped pizza in my family, so
it was really fun to celebrate with my companion. In the afternoon,
all of out lessons fell through, so we taught with the elders. It was
a lot of fun.

Every Sunday morning, we have a meeting with the branch presidency and
all of the leaders. The Relief Soceity president shared Alma 34:28 and
talked about how after we receive a remission of our sins, we need to
reach out to bless the lives of others. She told us that every time
something good happens to their family, or they get something that
they wanted, her 8 year old daughter says "And now what are we going
to do to serve the Lord?" I love that. I hope we can each learn
something from this sweet little girl.

This week, my mom sent me a talk called Desire by Elder Dallin H.
Oaks. It really touched me, and gave me a desire to work hard and to
forget myself. Monday morning, I was determined to be happier and
focus more on those around me instead of focusing on myself. About 30
minutes into the day, my companion said "Hermana, are you okay?" I
said "Yeah! Why?" She said "You´re just really happy today. Did
something happen?" Looks like I really needed to work on that. haha
I love you all so much! Have a wonderful week and don´t forget to pray!
Love, Hermana Jorden
