Week 48: HELLO!

Hello everyone! 

This week was so great! I was so happy to be able to talk to my family, and to see how all of them are doing. We will ignore the fact that I am jealous that they had a scottish christmas... 

Just thought I would share a little story with you that hopefully just makes you guys laugh  a little inside. I love being a missionary. 

This week we passed by a less active. He is kind of reserved and quiet, but this day was special, because in the middle of what we were sharing he gets up, walks away, then comes back with this huge black case. You can imagine what my thoughts might have been... no one keeps anything in a case like that unless it is dangerous... when all of the sudden he whips out his piano/accordian and starts playing and singing. It was the best moment of the week!!!!

We started the book of mormon again for the 4th time as a mission. Each time, we mark it with different topics (you can find them on the mission blog). It has truly changed how I study, and I ALWAYS learn something different each time. I challenge you all to start the book of mormon over, and mark it with 5 different topics. It will change your life!

I know the church is true. 

I LOVE YOU! 

Love, H. K. Watt

Week 47: I LOVE YOU!

Hola mamá!

This week has been so busy, but so fun, so exciting, so awesome! I love my area, I love my companion, my district, my zone, the members, the mission, TODO!

ALSO I can´t even WAIT to see your faces in 4 days! I think I might cry. And I think I might accidently speak a little bit of spanish. I have been speaking straight spanish for almost 3 months. I don´t even remember anymore my native language. It happens to the best of us here in the mission. We try to teach the latinos english, and we just forget it all!

4 DAYS!!!! AHHHHHH.

I´m sorry, but we opened my birthday stuff today, because we had enought baptisms as a district to have an activity, and one of the Elders has a birthday on the 27th of January, so we celebrated today as a district and it was a BLAST! Your things were a hit, and everyone told me to tell you thank you! It was like an actual birthday! just a lilttle early. They sang, told me how I was on old grandma because I´m older than all of them, and we played soccer, and watched some good ole church movies. THATS HOW WE  DO IN THE MISH!

I LOVE YOU!

With skype, I am going to sign in on my account (: The president gave us permission to have dinner with the members on the night of the 24th so we have that set up with a family here. It is going to be a GREAT christmas mom!!! Really. I will miss you all though!!!

An early birthday party!

Week 46: Él es la Dádiva!

My dearest friends and family! 

I LOVE this time of year. How blessed we are to have this time to remember our loving Savior, and EVERYTHING that he has done for us. What a blessing it is that we have to be able to repent and start over. Because of Him and His great sacrifice, we have the opportunity to change for the better. EVERY single day. I don´t think I have known, or heard of anyone more divine, or more loving than our Lord and Savior. 

This week has been amazing. Actually this whole month. Yesterday Javiera got baptized! She is an amazing example and has a wonderful spirit. To see the gospel change so many lives, has blessed me with the the opportunity to be more humble, and completely submit myself to my loving Savior, Jesus Christ. HE LOVES US. Let Him change your life. 

I LOVE YOU ALL! 

Love, H. Watt

About skype. I think that I will be skyping around 6pm my time. I don´t remember the difference, so if you can do it that would be AMAZING! (: My companion needs to skype first, because for her, the earlier the better, so around 6 is when I will skype. BE READY!!!!

Week 45: ¿COMO ESTÁN?

I love you all!

Maricel, Dilan, and Darinka were baptized this Sunday! (: It changed my whole perspective on the mission to see them be baptized. I realized that really, this is something that will change their lives FOREVER. Maricel bore her testimony after and said "No matter what I do, or where life takes me, no matter where I live, or what I do or don´t have, I will ALWAYS stay in this church." I hope she serves a mission! She would be amazing. Dilan and Darinka are amazing too. They are young still, so growing up in the church will change them forever as well. What a blessing it was to find them. I love being an instrument in the hands of the Lord (:

This week was a blessing, and more and more miracles happen each day. This is the best Christmas ever. (: 

The best part is that here, people are using lights, and trees, and there is christmas songs in the stores! And the walmart here is FULL of Christmas decorations. I just want to buy them all. 

I´m sorry I am so short on time, BUT I love you all!

I thought I would share this sweet letter from Kamryn to Amber

Hello my dearest mom! 

I love you SO much. This week was SUPER eventful. We had stake conference, and the mission president was there with his wife. They both gave really good talks, and talked about how we ALL need to do mission work. Not just the missionaries. We all need to find someone who doesn´t have the gospel, and share with them the gift of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and his marvelous Atonement. 

ALSO! Maricel, Dilan, and Darinka were baptized this Sunday! (: It changed my whole perspective on the mission to see them be baptized. I realized that really, this is something that will change their lives FOREVER. Maricel bore her testimony after and said "No matter what I do, or where life takes me, no matter where I live, or what I do or don´t have, I will ALWAYS stay in this church." I hope she serves a mission! She would be amazing. Dilan and Darinka are amazing too. They are young still, so growing up in the church will change them forever as well. What a blessing it was to find them. I love being an instrument in the hands of the Lord (:

I can´t believe that the time is passing by so quickly. I won´t lie, I have been counting down the days till I can talk to you guys!!!! I am finally used to the mission life, and though I miss home, I am comfortable here. I have learned to deal with change, and completely give all my wants up for a strict schedule. It is SUPER hard, but worth it. I have learned so much and I hope with all my heart that I am a different person when I come home. The best me that I can be. More patience, more love, and more qualities that the Savior has. I promise I am trying every single day to be better. 

I have been so blessed to be in an area where they are really celebrating Christmas! It is hotter than hades here, but tons of people have their trees up, and lights outside on their houses. Electricity is expensive here, so not all do it, but some! It makes me so happy walking around at night and seeing all of the ligts (: Also, all of your decorations help me SO much. Really. It makes me feel more at home. My comp loves them too! We enjoy the days in our house with all of the Christmas cheer! 

The mission is good. The people here are amazing. I have met so many people, missionaries, and members who have really changed my life. We have good leaders and good members. It is so interesting, because we never really think about other countries, but living in one has changed my perspective completely. Now I have friends from Spain, Argentina, Paraguay, Mexico, Brasil, Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and so much more. Really people who I will be friends with forever. 

I am a wierdo I think. I just have this love of traveling and doing new things that scare me. But I am so grateful at the same time that this is who I am. 

MOM! I love you so much. Every single moment I pray for you and the family. I love you all more than words can discribe. I miss you all, and I promise that everything you do for me is MORE than appriciated. Your name here is famous with my companions and my district because I always try to share what I can from the packages, like candy and all that. I realized I am MORE than blessed to have such an amazing mom who loves me and thinks about me so much. Words can not repay you sufficiently, so I will work my hardest here, and return with honor! 

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE.

¡Te amo máma!

My coming home date is July 28 2015 (: Officially.
