The Power of Gratitude!

hola hola, 
this week we have transfers. we all thought i´d leave puerto varas, but guess what? nope! this will be my 5th transfer here! hermana meacham is leaving...she´s going to la union! i was SUPER excited for her! she´s going to love it! my new companion is from utah! (more info on her next week) i can´t believe it´s my last transfer. it doesn´t feel real. the only thing thats reminding me is the trunky agenda that my district leader made me (pictures attached) with pictures of families, boys and couples  on EVERY PAGE. it got so thick he had to change the binding to bigger one. it´s hilarous but ridiulous. my district leader thought it was pretty funny...he´s a funny guy. the time has gone by way too fast. 

i´m extreamly grateful for the time i´ve had with hermana meacham here in pto varas. i´ve learned SO MUCH from her. she has changed my life and i know she´s going to change a lot more lives here in Chile. i love her so much and i´m thankful to say i´ve found a true friend. it´s going to be really hard to say goodbye!!

it was another tough week. we aren´t seeing much progessing in our investigators...and we haven´t found too many new ones. but like ALWAYS, there were lots of miracles too. i feel like i could sit and write about how hard it´s been and all the challenges we´ve faced. but something that i´ve learned on the mission is the power of gratitud. it´s crazy how much of a difference being postive makes. i know that being grateful doesn´t change the situation...but it does change how i feel! choosing to be grateful brings true joy and happiness. and there is so much to be grateful for. “Dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.” i´m grateful i am here in chile sharing the gospel with the people i love. i love being a missionary...even when it´s hard. "dont worry about a thing. cause every little thing is gonna be alright".

i hope you all have a great week filled with gratitud! because “have we not great reason to rejoice?” i love you all so much!

con amor, hermana steele
