 ha ha ha ha. #somuchhappiness #lovebeingamissionary

but yes. this week was definitely a bit different from all the other weeks i have had in my mission thus far as i have been able to see truely how much our heavenly father loves EVERY SINGLE ONE of his children!!! and as the lord´s representative for this short year and a half, i feel like i´ve been able to feel a little tiny wincey bit of the saddness that he feels when his children aren´t exaclty obedient and he can´t bless them with all the blessings he has instore for them becuase ultimately ALL our actions have consequences... 

forte && palacios after playing games with the zone... 

hot and sweaty!!! yeah baby yeah!!!! ha ha ha.

family... OBEDIENCE is the only way to have FULL COMPLETE HAPPINESS... THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!!!! i testify of this with all my heart && soul!!! there is no short cut. no easy way out. we must be obedient if we want to be happy and receive all the blessings our loving heavenly father has in store for us!!!! :) ahhhhh... i love this gospel so much!!!! its is the way to happiness.... literally. and when we do make mistakes, we can turn around and change our path!!!!  we can clean up our lives and invite the light!!!! its not always the easiest... but its always possible!!!!! :) christ is our savior and salvation... without him, we are nothing!!!! and i´m so incredibly grateful for the opportunity i have to wear his name next to mine every single day. i love being a missionary!!!! ... just incase you didn´t already know!!!! :) ha ha ha.

but yeah. i love you all more than words could ever express!!!!

keep being amazing!!!!!
