satan is fighting so hard, but God is fighting harder.

Cute missionary companions/roommates enjoying a little Chile love!

How are you all this week!?  I am so good!!  I love to see how good God is to us!! I wish I could explain to you guys how happy I was last week.  Sometimes I am a little ridiculous!  It is pretty funny how over exaggerated I get.  But I just really, really love all of you and it is really fun to see how much God is in our lives.  I know I always say it but I continue to be amazed at how God makes me better through His Beloved Son and you guys. It is a really cool process and I really like being a part of it.  Especially when that process includes getting extra family members to love.  I like how God works.  He is good to us!!

(Extra family members) Carlie's nephews Alden and Evan to love!

This week was a great week.  I don´t really have anything new to report there is just a lot of work to do for G__ family. They are so wonderful. They make me so happy! E_ got home this last Friday.  We are kind of running around like crazy to get everything ready for this week.  E_ is so ready to be baptized on Wednesday and satan is fighting so hard but God is fighting harder.  Their family has progressed a lot.  We went to presidents house with E_ and P_ and President asked him if he was willing to give up tea.  I love E_ so much!  He is so quiet.  It is hard to know what he is thinking.  But when he talks I love it!  When president asked him if he was willing to live the law of the word of wisdom he looked at president like he was asking him if he had two eyes ... and said "yeah I can drink milk!!"  It was so obvious to him.  Why would he ever drink tea if that meant danger to his eternal family!? ...  that is just silly!  He is so quiet but he makes me so happy!!!  It is really cool to see how his wife helps him and how he helps his wife!

I have been thinking a lot about the Atonement this week, and about God´s promise to make weak things become strong unto us. He is so good!!  I really believe that.  I have extended that understanding to families too. I love reading Ether 12 and instead of reading the word men putting in the wold couples, or families.  Look at the hope!  God will not only make me personally better, but if I go with my family to Him, he will also make weak things become strong unto us.  What a beautiful blessing.  There is this quote in a stress book we have that says that we as missionaries get front row seats to the effects of the Atonement ... and it is true! 

As for other fun news everyone is ready to go to the temple this week!  I love being a missionary in the same sector all of the time!! On Thursday I will go to the temple to be with V_, M_, J_, C_, M_, and A_ all in the temple at the same time!!!  R_ is not big enough to go still, and E_ will be in the north, but that means every single one of my converts that could will be in the temple at the same time!  That is pretty cool!!!  I am pretty blessed!!!  C_ is going to do the work for his daddy and A_ is going to do the work for his mommy. M_ is going to do the work for her grandma!!  Miracles are real!!  What a blessing! 

R_ came to church this week!!  V_ went to his house and kicked him out of bed.  I was not there becuase we were in division but my comp said that she finally just said, "look, R_  I am tired of this!  Why did you get baptized if you are not willing to complete the covenants you made.  Get out of bed and come to church!!!" I love V_!  She is going to be a great missionary!  Her cousin also came to church.  He is another little boy who is great without much family support.  His family are work-aholics, and so they do not really support him.  The last time that he had a date to get baptized the mom suddenly decided that she wanted to baptize him in the Catholic Church.  But, he really likes going to church so I am not sure what to do.  He is really great though!  He loves going to church.  He is always ready when we pass by to go; he is reading the Book of Mormon, and he loves the FHE that we do at P_´s he will just have to wait a little to actually get baptized.  The other night we played mom´s game and another game we made up.  It was so fun.  We ended the night all singing together.  I love to sing!!  The Spirit comes running!!!! 

This week was kind of a crazy week with ups and downs of missionary life and dealing with all of the emotions that come with it, but I've sort of worked out a new theme ... just keep dancing.  I dance all over the place, so it works for me.  God has blessed me with a feeling that I don't necessarily need to change, but I feel motivated to dance all of the way home.  God is so good to me.  He is willing to wait for me, willing to listen to me, willing to accept when I am a little clumsy, and that he accepts me as His servant, even when I doubt myself.  I feel sure that Christ and his Atonement are real!  I feel sure that if we just ask in prayer with faith, God will answer!  I love being a missionary!  I love helping people come to Christ because in the end they just help me!!!  I love you all ... this gospel is true! Have a great week!
