Good, Better, Best

 hey everyone! Time is flying by and it's made me do a lot of reflecting in these last few days. We had a lot of stuff going on this week that made us kinda slow with the work but it was some stuff I definitely needed! 

This week we had our zone conference and interviews with our  President and all of the speakers were very inspired! I felt like i received a lot of guidance from the holy ghost and my testimony of revelation grew! In the conferences they talked about not just being a good missionary or disciple of Jesus Christ, but letting go the small bad habit or sin that we aren't quite ready to give up sometimes, and doing the extra little things to become the better and the best version of ourselves. It really hit me because this mission I only get to have once and this life,  not only the mission, is the time that God has given us to gain experience and become like his son Jesus Christ. Maybe we're a good person, but couldn't we all become a little better? Do a little more to become our best selves? Follow Jesus a little more exactly? I don't know what you're hanging on to in your life that maybe you should let go of, but I invite you to do some reflection this week and make a new commitment w God. What's your favorite sin? Is it a favorite swear word? A "good show" with "bad parts"? Bad music? A Sunday activity that maybe shouldn't be on a Sunday? An activity that maybe shouldn't be in your life at all? Wasting a little too much time on your phone? Spending too much time thinking of yourself and forgetting about your neighbors? Spending too much time on other things and forgetting about God?
 Idk what it is, but I invite you all to do some digging and this week and promise God that you'll do just a little better. God doesn't expect you to be perfect, but he does expect you, all of us, to try and not give up! Satan wants us to give up and forget all about that we can repent, change, become better and better every day. If we focus on improving the 1% every day and rely on the lord to help us, one day people will start to know Jesus just by knowing us because we're like him. 

I love you all and I hope you know no matter whats going on in your life that God loves you more than you can imagine! Every situation you are going through is because God knows and loves you and wants you to learn something. If you ever forget how awesome you, or get discouraged because there's "too many things" to improve to be perfect, be patient and trust that through christ nothing is impossible! 

Have the best week :) love you! If you want to keep some people in your prayers this week I'd appreciate it if you prayed for Brayan, Arturo y fam, Roberto, and Daniel! Thanks <3
