I know that we can be perfect in the eyes of God!

hey family! 

so hey don´t worry about my feet! they are much much better!

also, my christmas package was the cutest thing ever. THANK YOU SO MUCH! i loved all my clothes!!! thank you! i´ve started my "12 days of christmas" and i love it so far! you guys are the best.

so this week the doctor came and spoke to us. i thought he´d talk to us about taking care of our bodies or something. but he stood up and said "we are weak. but the Lord is strong and with Him, we are perfect." perfection is a commandment from God...and He never gives us commandments without a way to accomplish them. so He sent His son to earth. the Atonement works in the past...we can be forgiven of the sins we have already committed. but it also works in the present AND in the future. there was a lady that always said "well, 10 minutes after i take the sacrament i´ve already sinned again...so why do i even take it?" the Atonement doesn´t just help us with the mistakes we´ve made in the past, but the ones we will make in the future. God has asked us to put off the natural man and become as a child. but why? because children are innocent...they are perfect in the eyes of God. they have no sin...they are covered by the Atonement of Christ. i know that we can be perfect in the eyes of God. i know He loves us. i feel so blessed to be here in chile helping others make promises with God to become more like their Savior and receive all the blessings of the Atonement.

anyways, i´m so excited to skype with you all! i hope this week is a magical one! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
