Happy New Year!

(A/N: Hello everyone! Alejandra here wishing you a happy Monday and a Happy New Year! It was so great being able to talk to Hermana Ramos-Escobar this last Thursday! She's doing really well and she's loving the mission! Here is her email for the week, enjoy!)

This week was AMAZING!! Not only was it Christmas and I got to Skype with my family, but I truly was overwhelmed with Heavenly Father's love.

Christmas Eve, we were able to visit a couple of families! They all had gifts prepared for us and of course food!! We ended the night going to the Hernandez Family. All six of us were there and needless to say, it probably got a little too fun. We played a lot of games and really just had a good time! The love that was felt at their home was truly amazing! Heavenly Father is just soo good. I love the people here that really just took us into their homes. Christmas is always time to spend with family, and for the people here to take us in as part of their family truly touched me. I know that Heavenly Father blessed us as missionaries. He makes sure that we feel at home, and that we feel that love.

 

Christmas day was truly amazing. I loved talking to my family. President Clark asked us to teach our families while we Skype them and I accepted the challenge. It truly was an amazing experience. The spirit that I felt while teaching my family was beyond what words can explain. I love my family soo much!

 

Earlier this week I was reading in Mosiah, in King Benjamin's address, and I couldn't help but cry. Heavenly Father is soo good to us. In Mosiah 4, the first couple of verses we see that the people are so ashamed and feel so horrible for what they done. In verse 2, they ask for forgiveness and in verse 3, it's given to them. Heavenly Father loves us so much. All He wants is for us to return to Him.

 

I love this gospel so much. I have never felt closer to my Heavenly Father. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ and I am beyond thankful that He took it upon himself to come to the world to die for our sins. I know this Church is true with all my heart. I love this Gospel more than anything and I hope that you all can feel Heavenly Father's love for you. 

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Love always,

Hermana Ramos-Escobar
