" I saw a lot of miracles this week and it has really humbled me. One thing I have learned from this experience is that I feel the capacity to love expand. When I didn't know I could love any more, somehow my heart grew and I can. I really do grow a love for the people we meet with and I want them to be happy. I have learned a lot this week about being humble and having patience; all of which strengthen faith. It amazes me every day."
"I am learning more and more about the gospel that I guess I always knew, but never really felt until now. There is a difference between knowing something and feeling it. I feel that I can truly testify of the atonement and our Savior and that God loves me. I am very grateful that God teaches me every day that this is His work. I love the mission, I am really loving it."
"I feel like my testimony is getting stronger and that I am growing so much. We have to do a 40 day fast of something, my 40 day fast is that I am fasting negative thoughts. I feel so good inside because I am around such strong and great examples. I feel the spirit easier when I am positive all the time, and I feel happier and more energyzed. I could go on forever on how amazing this mission is. The mission is so great, I really love it so much."
"I was excited to come out on this mission but I had no idea how much it would affect me and changed me. I feel the pure love of Christ he has for everyone icluding me. Being able to sit down and talk to people of Puerto Rico has changed my heart and I can alredy begin to see a change happening inside me. I feel so happy all the time."
"This week was a great week, probably one of the best so far. We were able to hear from an Apostle and an Elder from the Quorum of the Seventy. That was a huge blessing. Elder Andersen gave a really amazing talk. the topic that stood out to me was the atonement, and truly understanding it. A lot of the questions that were buzzing around in my head were settled. I feel that my faith has been strengthened, and I feel so much happier. I love this Gospel, and even if I give it my all, and I never was able to help bring the spirit to convert anybody, I know that por lo menos, my own soul has been converted. Before I had a strong testimony of the Gospel, but now I feel converted of it. I want to live it with exactness."
" I feel like I have learned a lot this week that I couldn't have learned anywhere else. I am learning more and more how to love. It's amazing and testifies to me that the light of Christ works in our hearts. and helps our hearts open up more than I ever thought. This week has been a good week. I felt so much joy and I wasn't sure why I was so happy. I just was. Situations that should have been so stressful, like trying to find where people lived when I really didn't know the area so well, they should have been stressful and I should have been grouchy. But I wasn't, I was happy. I was laughing, and smiling and felt God's love. I knew I was a daughter of God and that is all that mattered."
"I know now why everyone loves their mission so much. How can you not when it is centered around Christ and love? I could never have imagined the kind of joy it brings to be on a mission. I want to make sure I never forget this, so when I return I can do missionary work at home."
"This week was really a learning process for me, and also an amazing miracle. This week I have felt some of the lowest lows and some of my highest highs. It is moments like this that I don't want to go home. It is so amazing seeing how the spirit touches people's lives and they do change their hears and the light of Christ shines from them. It is also an example to me and it amazes me. There are no words to explain the pure joy that I felt saturday at the Colone's baptism. It was such an emotional experience. I felt the Spirit strong."
This week was a great week, we met a lot of people and spiritually I have been growing a lot. When I go home, I am going to make it a priority to go out with the missionaries as much as I can. I want to be active for the rest of my life as a member, to invite others to come to Christ. I want to be more diligent in making sure that I reach out to everyone in my ward and that I make sure everyone feels included."
