Ms. Wedding Planner!!!!

this week has been amazing!!! so i got to play wedding photographer, decorator, planner, baker, bridesmaid, maid of honor and EVERYTHING. it was so fun. i attached some pictures from the wedding and baptism of Sonia... she is the most amazing lady in the world no joke. she really is such a strong and has such strong faith. they have no money, but they took a leap of faith to pay for the civil wedding and once they did EVERYTHING feel into place... well, Heavenly Father laid it gently into place actually. Luis, her bf, now husband, didnt have a job and she has a health problem so she cant work... but after she decided to get baptized and married (duh first things first... marriage) he got a job. then someone in the ward let her borrow a wedding dress and shoes, someone else GAVE them the wedding rings... which are like 250- 300 euros here. then the whole ward helped with the food and decorations. someone else who owns a salon here got her ready... hair (colored it too) make up, nails... everything! and then someone else was the chafeur (however you spell it)... and then someone else bought them a hotel package thing for their honeymoon. it was so amazing to see how much Heavenly Father really helps when people make the right choices.


the work is going, its hard... of course. but its all good i didnt expect it to be a peice of cake. I dont really like cake anyways. Something that always help me have a better perspective when things fall through or it seems like we are working super hard and getting nowhere is about Jesus Christ and His atonement. Something that an elder always said and it has stuck with me is this... the atonement wasnt easy... for that matter the life of Christ wasnt easy either... why do we think that ours should be? when in comparison with the life of Christ, my trials look ridiculous and pewny (haha donno how to spell anything anymore). I am so grateful for His sacrifice for me; for all of us.


um... so the pics... some from the wedding... some with some cool people that are in the ward that i love. and then the last one (i think... thats if it went through) is from where we went this pday... its part of my area! sweet huh? Sintra (my area) is soooooooo gorgeous and has soooo much to see its awesome!!! we also took some pictures last pday... we went with our whole zone to belem... but we im almost out of time and i dont want to have to find that camera card... seeing as i took about a bazillion pictures this week... but i am sending some camera cards home this week or next week so you will see them!


well, i love you all and thank you for your support love and especially prayers! :)


have a fabulous week!
