Best thing ever!!! <div class="MsoNormal">
Hello from Paraguay!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a beautiful week of Miracles and missionary work is
just the best thing in all the world! I love it so so so much!!!! And don't
want to ever part from it! There have been so many blessings that I have seen
happen and miracles and it is so great!!!!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have a new hermano who got called to be our branch
mission leader! and he is so great! one of the best mission leaders I have had,
who calls us and gives us references all the time... We are so excited about
the work! And Bueno! we have had some major success this week! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yesterday was a great Sunday we went up 20 in our
asistencia! Woo hooooooooooo So exciting! Then it gets even better four of them
were investigators! YEP! you heard right! Four or actually five were, but one
had to leave early!!!! but he wants to know more, he just came in on his own
and attended elders quorum! Oh yeah..... This week was a week of dreams for me
here in the mission. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Starting with A~! We Taught him a few times and he is slowly
progressing, it is a little difficult, but it is working out. We are working on
it but now he is starting to play a bigger role and told us he would keep
coming to church and he listened to many testimonies yesterday that helped him
see that he may want to get baptized one day. The wife of a man who is getting
baptized this Saturday shared her testimony and it helped A~ understand that he
isn't the only one investigating the church. so that was cool! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then there is N~....... Can I just say coolest reference
ever, N~ would like to baptized on the 27 of June!!!! He acted as though that
was too far away! Haha, but he needs to learn more so he is ready. He already
been to church 3 times and we have our first lesson with him tomorrow! Well can
you say golden investigator! He was a reference from a brother in another
branch and that is why he has been to church already! greatest thing
ever! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then there is M~ she has a son who is less active in church.
She is the sister to our new branch mission leader! And some miracles happened
with her before when she attended church in Spain, but moved back a long time
ago but wasn't ready to receive missionaries. Her son is struggling and she is
willing to do anything to help, so we did a fast with her and she came to the
church, and at first she was there only for her son, but in the last hour we
had sacrament meeting and she was sitting in the front and L~ (the sister who
got baptized a week ago) (This part made me almost cry) L~ got up and shared
her testimony and shared about how she received an answer and it was the
greatest thing ever. Later that night M’s~ brother called us and told us that
L’s~ testimony touched his sister and now she has questions and wants to
really know more!!! ahhhhh!!!!! So happy about that! It was a great moment! And
I am really excited about working with her! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then there is another girl, L~ who came to church, the
elders invited her and she showed up and then she left before we could really
talk to her, but she came and we have her number and she is really interested
and we plan on going by tonight!!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also an older man named P~ just walked into church yesterday
and we are going to try and find him and talk to him, he wants to know more as
well!!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love being a missionary!!!!! Best thing ever!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ok that is just a quick rundown of the week it has been so
great! And the spirit so strong! My poor companion even got sick this week, but
is so strong and just kept working and we had major success in the time that
she was sick and putting her best foot forward!!!! Now she is all good and
isn't sick but she is a fighter and I'm so grateful for that!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you tons and am here to remind you about reading the
Book of Mormon! I hope you haven't forgotten yet!!! Keep reading everyday just
a little bit it will make all the difference! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week I have been reading and studying a ton about real
intent and desire the reason we do things. But what is real intent. As I have
been studying I have come to find that Real intent is doing things for the
right reason. Sometimes we get confused with what is the right reason or how to
stay focused on that real intent, I'm still trying to figure it out myself, but
I have come to find that as we set goals and as we put our heart, mind, and
soul into it we will receive the blessing of eternal life. We should be doing
things through the love that we have for our loving Heavenly Father and his Son
Jesus Christ. To really fulfill what He has in store for us! It is like a
triangle with there are 3 parts to it starting at the bottom the first reason
people may do things is because they fear those around them (They fear the
consequences, the outcome, the judgments, etc.) Second blessings. (having
a desire to receive blessings things etc.) and the last is most important is
Love, We do it because we love the Lord! I testify if we change our sights and
the reason we do things we will receive a never ending state of Happiness and
be really prepared to live with our loving Heavenly Father (Mosiah 2:41) This
life is to prepare us to meet God (Alma 34:32) To practice how we will live
with Him in His kingdom. That is why the Plan of Salvation is so important,
that we really fulfill this plan that Heavenly Father has for us with our best
ability and helping others to change, having a change of heart receiving
clean hands and a pure heart, (Moroni 7:41-48 or just all of Moroni 7! :) )
loving our Heavenly Father with real intent, and then we will all be in a
state of never ending happiness all together! That’s what He wants and that is
what we should all desire here in this life! I love you all and invite you all
to bring at least two references to your missionaries in your wards! Remember
that Plan Heavenly Father has for us! It is real easy to just invite and give
two names I promise! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hope you all have a great week! and keep working hard in the
work of the Lord as well! <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This
week had some excitement! We went to our district meeting and found out that I
had transfers (Shocker because I still have 6 more weeks of my training). I'm
now in Marambure which is closer to the city. It is awesome I love it here!!! <br />
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">My New companion is Hermana Sanders and
she is just the greatest!!! Funny story we had the same trainer and she trained
in Ysapy as well! So we know alot of the same members and it has been fun
getting to talk about it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hermana Sanders and her old companion
taught some less active kids that now come to church and yesterday we had to be
“parents” and make sure they got to their classes.... They like to run around
and so hermana Sanders and I have to gather them up and get them to class.
Hahaha it has been a fun adventure! I really love the people in this area, they
are so sweet and great! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So next week is general conference!!!!!!
So excited! It is my favorite time of year! The opportunity to listen to the
Prophet and Apostles is so awesome, they speak with such authority and power!
It is so important to really listen to what they say and to apply it to our
lives because it is under the direction of our loving Heavenly Father! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This week has taken a ton of faith because
we don't know all of our area very well and we have gotten lost a few times,
but we have always had the spirit with us as our guide. General Conference is a
guide for our lives so pretty please listen with all your heart and I promise
you will receive so many blessings as you learn and feel the spirit! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I love you all so much, keep up all the
hard work and remember to always get up again and push through the hard times
because on the other side there are blessings and riches that we can't even
imagine in this life! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Ciao till next week! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
My first baptism!!!!<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So after I
finished writing last week we got to work! We had FHE with a family and
afterwards she gave us cow heart..... Not too bad to be honest, it was better
than the cow stomach I ate a few weeks ago! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We have been
trying to teach one of our investigators who </span>didn't<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> show up to his baptism,
things are really hard for him, but he has a great heart and I really want to
help him understand his purpose here on the earth! One of my favorite quotes
from the book, Continuous Conversion, is that we </span>aren't<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> earning heaven we are </span></span><u style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">learning</u><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
heaven. Our life here on the earth is to give our will to the Father just as
Jesus Christ did. We must love and serve others and continually nourish
ourselves in the Gospel. When we do so our desire will be to fulfill the lords
will. Read Isaiah 55! So great! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This week we have
been blessed with a ton of rain. We were prepared on Tuesday for it, but on
Wednesday we weren`t. We had to run under a tree and to seek protection from
the rain and then some nice people allowed us to sit under there patio covering
and we talked with them for a little bit. After it stopped raining and we were
walking and looking for someone to talk to. We met a younger girl in the street
with her baby and her two younger sisters. We talked to her and as she began to
have tears in her eyes, I just knew how much the savior loved her and it took
all my strength not to cry like a little baby. It was just so powerful and I am
so grateful to have grown up knowing I am a daughter of God! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We finished out
the week with some Baptisms!!! Yay!!! first was the gentleman Hna Santos
and I have been teaching on Saturday and then he was confirmed on Sunday!!! Yay
and then we attend the baptism of the other Hna`s! all and all it was a
fantastic weekend and the spirit just keeps teaching me and all those around
me! it is so powerful! I love you all and want you to know that you are the
greatest! I hope you have a great week! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hola! This week has had ups & downs! Here in Ysapy as we look for a new people to teach we ask if we can share a message and many respond and say they are already members.... But it is an opportunity to
rekindle and help others to strengthen their testimonies and invite them to
come back. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had one investigator who was going to be baptized this
past Saturday and he had been receiving lessons since December. We got
everything ready for his baptism and when I say ready I mean we had to empty
the font from a couple weeks before with buckets and clean it out it was a fun
adventure.... Haha Later we waited for him for his baptism and he didn't show
up. It was a hard moment in time.... and was really sad. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We taught one man a while back and he lived super far and we
hadn't really gotten the opportunity to get back to his house but yesterday I
felt like we should visit him and we happened to be in that area so it was
perfect. We went to his house and it looked like no one was home, but we still
clapped at the fence. Low and behold he was home!!! We sat and talked to him,
and let me just say he is so hard to understand (one minute I understand
Spanish and the next not a single word). But he told us that he had thought
about the previous time we had visited and wanted to attend our church!!!!
What?! That was an amazing miracle after the weekend we had just had. Heavenly
Father really does put people in our paths at the right time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is so important to really prepare our investigators and
make sure they have a strong testimony. And sometimes it doesn't always work
out the way we plan, but all things are possible through Him and His Atonement!
When we rely on Him we can receive the strength and support we need to
get through all our trials! He never leaves us; it is us who leaves Him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you all so much! I hope you have a great week! <o:p></o:p></div>

This week has been a great week! I finished two months in
the mission!! YAY so exciting, I didn't even realize until Hna Santos pointed
it out haha! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week we have one of the greatest investigators who has
a baptism date for the 15th of March! so exciting! He is just growing so much
and is just so open and willing to let the spirit in! so amazing! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are visiting with a less active familia and we got them
to commit to FHE with us every week! so that was really cool! The mother is so
amazing and filled with the spirit! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had to stop teaching one of our investigators so that was
sad his family didn't want him meeting with us it broke my heart! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We wash our clothes by hand here and I now miss the
convenience of a washer and dryer! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had a water balloon fight with our branch and it was just
so much fun!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the spiritual side of things I want you all to know that
the Testimonies members have makes a difference and that they mean so much to
investigators so any chance you have testify to all those you meet by your
actions! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you all and the support you give! <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I have survived my first week in Paraguay!!! Yay! My area
is called Ysapy A. I believe that is in Guarani... Which is very difficult to
understand and speak nothing like spanish! My spanish is improving<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
little by
little and understanding the people here is so hard we are lucky if I catch a
word because it is different than Spanish elsewhere. Their words are all
slurred together! But it is beautiful here and I love it so much!!! There are
trees everywhere and random animals all over (cows, horses, dogs, cats, and
chickens) When I got off the plane it
just felt so right, I knew I was where the Lord needed me. The food here is
pasta, rice, and meat.... So I will not be losing any weight haha, I love the
food here! We eat lunch with the members.<br />

My companion is Hermana Santos, She is from
Guatemala! Her spanish is much easier to
understand, but still difficult! She is amazing, I have been so blessed to have
her as a companion. She teaches me Spanish and I teach her English so the
language barrier is starting to get smaller! We live with two other Hermanas.
One of them is from Guatemala as well and the other is Ecuador( don't know how
to spell that)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
We have been giving lots of lessons, mainly Hermana
Santos, with my little testimony and prayer.... But It is growing in Spanish.
It is very humbling to not be able to say or understand anything... Hermana
Santos and I went to go teach a young girl who is 12 and her brother who is 10.
When we arrived I was shocked at there living conditions, I thought that some
of the other circumstances I had seen were bad but this one was worse! we
talked about the first vision with her and she listened with all her heart it
was amazing! I was so amazed at this young girl and her testimony. It is
difficult because her parents won't listen to us but she does. She had several
little brothers so I gave them the pencils you gave me mom and I almost cried
at how excited they were about receiving pencils.... It was just so touching!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">

<div class="MsoPlainText">
We try and get references from investigators and members,
and most of the time when we go and visit the references they are members who
are less active.. I really want to help our branch become a ward here in Ysapy,
The branch is already so amazing and strong! we have the best branch in the
Mission ;)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
One day we went and visited the branch mission leader and
his family, Hermano Poli, and we ate budding, I think that is what it is
called, and then we sang Joseph Smiths first prayer together, but before we
began singing he sang the first verse by himself and no one was really paying
attention, but while he was singing the spirit was so strong it was amazing I
could feel his testimony and how strong it was in that moment!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I was studying this morning in the Liahona and I read a
talk by Bishop Dean M Davies called a Sure Foundation. It was amazing! It was
all about how we must build our spirits on our rock, the savior so that way in
times of affliciones (afflictions) and trials we will not fall. I see that the
people here need that message, because when difficult times come many of the
people fall away from the church instead of leaning on it for strength and
making their faith knowledge!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I was also reading in 2 Nephi 28 and wow is that a great
chapter! specifically read verses 7-9 (Scripture Mastery), 22, 28-30,32! It is
some powerful stuff that the scriptures have to tell us. We must never make
excuse or justify things. When we do so it weakens our testimonies and prevents
us from progressing and reaching our potential!!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
I love you all so much! And I am so grateful for all of
your love and Support!!!<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #282828;">Dear Family of Hermana Dunagan:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #282828;">We are so happy that your
daughter has joined us here in the Paraguay Asuncion North mission! We
know that as she commits to work hard and be obedient to mission rules, and
continues to study and seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost, she will have a
great experience on her mission. She will grow to love the people, she
will be willing to pass through difficulties, and she will come to know and
love her Savior in a more profound way than she has ever known.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #282828;">We were able to give all the
incoming missionaries some training on staying healthy, finances, mail,
etc. We were also able to learn about the history of the Church here in
Paraguay. Your daughter was interviewed and met her trainer,
Hermana Santos, who was specially chosen for her. She was trained to
help your daughter in all the skills she will need to be a good missionary.
We hope you will enjoy these pictures that we are attaching as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #282828;">Thank you for raising such a fine
young woman who is so willing to serve her Father in Heaven and be a blessing
to the people here and to her fellow missionaries. We truly pray for them
every day and are committed to working diligently to help them in whatever they
need to be happy and successful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #282828;">May the Lord bless you, and your
daughter, for the sacrifices, the faith, and the love that you are extending to
the people here. Thank you for all of your support.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

you will hear from me in Argentina! We leave for Paraguay tomorrow at 4 am and
our flight should take off at 7:35!I´m so excited! I wish you were hear to help
me pack mom haha, but I am managing on my own! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #282828; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ok so I'm going to
give you a quick little bit of what happened since the last time I wrote! We
went proselyting and it was a long day, we had about an hour and a half left
and we had handed out a few pamphlets, but hadn't had any success. Then we
walked by this young man who was cleaning out his car and all of a sudden we
decided that we needed to turn around and talk to him so we did and he accepted
el Libro de Mormón!!!! And we got his contact information!!!! Ahhhh! coolest
moment ever! His name was Jesus, Yep I gave a Book of Mormon to Jesus Haha! It
doesn´t end there either we were walking down a couple streets over from where
we had talked to Jesus and we had paused to take a little break and then a
young woman walked by in her early twenties and we said hola and she said
hello..... Yes hello in english, we freaked out and Hermana Sump called back to
her and she came to talk to us. She has been learning english for the past two
years and wants to be an english teacher here in Argentina! she talked to us
about how she grew up catholic and is now a Buddhist. She was a blessing in our
proselyting day! In that moment I just could feel the spirit strongly testify
of the Lord´s work, We got her contact info! It was amazing ok I have to go
finish packing, but I love you and will hopefully get to tell you if I got to
Paraguay safely. We don't get to call at all, but I love you!!!! Keep me
updated on Gabriel and Kelsey and AJ and there adorable little family! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hola!!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So nothing crazy has happened this week! We had the
opportunity to go proselyting on Saturday in the rain.... And get eaten alive
by mosquitoes. I think there was about 45 bites on just my leg.... That wasn't
super fun, and I had the opportunity to clap at several gates and get rejected.
It has been very interesting to talk to people on the streets and at there
houses. I have learned interesting things. Specifically that courage doesnt
come before faith. We must first act in Faith and then the courage will come. I
was not excited and was nervous about clapping at peoples gates to see if they
would come out and talk to us and then after the first rejection it was a
little bit easier... That may sound funny but it was. It was strange when
people would actually come out of there house and talk to you... haha. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well I only have a few days here at the CCM. I am sad to
leave all of the people I have come to know and love here at the CCM. They have
helped me to really learn and increase my testimony of the doctrine and
teaching of Christ! But I'm so eager to serve with those out in Paraguay and to
meet my mission president! We watched a devotional from Elder Quentin L. Cook
yesterday about how often times when our call is made it is because we are
meant to serve with that mission president! I am so eager to learn from him and
his wife! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I´m so grateful for your love and support! I couldn't do it
without all of you! The Lord has blessed me so much with all of you! Ok so I'm
going to talk about my all time favorite chapter of the Book of Mormon and that
is Alma 32! Our Faith in Christ is so important and he is the tree of life we
must come to know him and follow his example! Specifically verse 42 is
powerful! we can become pure and white through him by our diligence and faith!
So remember to keep moving forward and to rely on the Lord he is always there.
If you ever think he isn't there it is because you left him<span style="color: #1f497d;">,</span> not him leaving you! I know that the church is
true and that the Book of Mormon is true! Prayer is so powerful Hevaenly Father
always answers our prayers! Open up to Him and let him into your heart! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you all! have a great week! Talk to you next week in
Paraguay!!!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">This week has been good here at the CCM! The spirit is so
strong and just teaches so much! We have been teaching our
"investigators" and it is hard to get the message across with the
language, but I know that Heavenly Father teaches through the spirit and it is
amazing when you leave the IP and they said yes to keeping commitments or
attending church or most important when they say sí to baptism! <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">I am doing good, there are good days and bad days when it
comes to Spanish but other than that it is all good! Things are good!
definitely scared to get out in the field in a week in a half.... We get new
North Americans missionaries today as well as some new Latinos. There has been
8 North american sisters the whole time I have been here so really small we get
7 new Americans so that will be a change. I love this sisters with all my Heart
and two of them are going to Paraguay with me which makes me so happy because I
don't know what i would do without them here at the CCM Heavenly Father really
blessed me! I would love an English mission sometimes, but I know why
Heavenly Father sent me on a Spanish mission, and I know that He will help me
through it all! I think I will have a native companion when I get to Paraguay
which is intimidating because with the Latinas I can kind of say a few words
but I can't understand them, so I'm going to try hard to understand and get to
know the new Latina roommates we are getting today! <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">We went proselyting on Saturday, it was an interesting day.
Not much luck and a ton of walking around. Toward the end of the day Hermana
Sump and I were walking down the street and I got the courage to talk to an
older man who was smoking in front of his house. When I told him we were
missionaries he started talking to us and told us he was Roman Catholic.... At
that moment in time I was a little bummed, but we continued to talk to him and
while I didn't understand anything he was saying I understood that he had
respect for us and he mentioned the spirit and how it is a very emotional
experience when you feel the spirit in your life, and boy was he correct! The
spirit is so amazing, I am so grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost and the
ability to have him as my constant companion. We talked to this man for a good
20 minutes and when I left my testimony grew on how much Heavenly Father loves each
and every one of us. I tried to give him el Libro de Mormon, but he wouldn't
accept it. Heavenly Father teaches us all in different ways, and I
learned so much in that conversation even with the little Spanish I know.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

The halfway mark
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Hola! I hope everyone is doing well! I have now been in the
CCM For about 3 weeks crazy... Time has flown by! I have about 3 more weeks
till I get back on the plan and head for Paraguay. </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Nothing crazy has happened, but the spirit has been so
strong. We have been learning about faith in Jesus Christ specifically this
week. Belief is a part of Faith but faith also includes action. When we fear it
is the lack of action, it reminded me of being out on the streets of Argentina
for the first time and not knowing how to even start a normal conversation or
buy ice cream. It was very scary and intimidating. When I decided to just say a
few more words to people and tell them about the Book of Mormon is when I
received the courage. Courage and strength come after we have decided and have
taken the action. it is like the leap of faith. As you stand on that ledge all
sorts of things go through your mind and when you jump you find that the
harness is there to catch you no matter what, if you are able to grab hold of
the bar or not. Heavenly Father is always there to catch us, he wants us to
keep trying, He loves us, and He sent his only begotten son so we could return
to him but first we must Have faith in Christ and use his gift of the atonement
and give up ourselves unto him! Read Alma 5, It is now my new favorite, it is
so powerful and it really gets you thinking about if you can see Christs image
in your countenance. </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
As for news here in the CCM, we have a new Presidente! His
name is President Willis and his wife Hermana Willis, They are so amazing i
love them already and I just meet them last night for about 5 minutes, butI
know they love the Lord and that they are here for a reason and are here for specifically
me and others so they can teach us things we need to hear! </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
My district is great! There is 2 sets of sister
missionaries
and then there are 3 sets of elders! It is amazing the spirit we have had in
our disscussions and lessons. We have been growing together and really support
one another. I shared my batman voice with them and now they have put Dunagan
in for the batman jingle. haha I'm so grateful for each of there spirits and
for the knowledge they have!</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
As for info I have heard about Paraguay there is some kinda
legend, that elders from Paraguay believe to be true. It is about a Lobizon.
Which is some kind of werewolf looking thing.... Not quite sure how I feel
about it, but you should look it up, haha. </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I am so grateful to be here in the CCM. Teaching our I.P. (
teachers who pretend to be investigators) is difficult and the language is hard
but Heavenly Father is really helping me to see my potential and has been
teaching me about my faith. I have really been relying on my faith and on Jesus
Christ to help me through everything, it isn´t easy, but it is rewarding. </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! I know that He
created this plan so I could become like Him, so that I could learn and
progress to my potential. I know that while he may give me trials that are hard
to understand that he is trusting me to take those experiences and have them
help me to understand who I am and who He wants me to be. I am His servant and His
hands here on the Earth. I want to be "steadfast and immovable always
abounding in good works" I am a woman of God and want His trust
always! I know that as we turn to the Lord and give everything up unto him on
the alter of sacrifice is when we will become true disciples of Christ and when
we will be humble and meek like Christ. I know that the temple is the house of
the Lord and that He visits there often, that the family is central to His
plan! He has given us the opportunity to be sealed for all time and eternity.
What a blessing that is! I love each and everyone of you and your beautiful
spirits. We each have our own divine role here on the earth and Heavenly Father
has given us our free agency to decide who we will be and where we will go!
continually strive to be the person Heavenly Father wants you to be! Have His
presence with you every moment of every day, because there is no greater person
to have on your side! </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I love you all and hearing from you just makes me so
happy!!! :) </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Remember to be strong and to keep pressing forward! </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
That is all for now! Have a great week! </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Love Hermana Dunagan! </div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hola!
¿Come le va?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is
your Hermana Dunagan reporting ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week
has been very long, hard, and beneficial! I had the opportunity to be on
the streets of Buenos Aires! The dropped us off on the side of the
road and we went proselyting, with the amount of Spanish I know majority
of the conversations were " Hola! ¿Come le va? Somos misionerias de la
iglesia Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Dia¨" And then I got
completely lost... Had no idea what anyone was saying, but after all of my
fears and doubts I was able to get the courage and just try and start a
conversation with a few people, no success with making contacts, but Heavenly
Father taught me so much! He taught me patience, love, diligence, and that I
can do this. Getting turned down isn't the scary part, but not being able to
understand was difficult because I wasn't able to answer their questions of the
heart. So my new goal for this week is to learn how to really listen to all of
those around me in Spanish and English to really be there for others as
Heavenly Father is there for each and every one of us! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm so
grateful for my district after our long day of hard work we came back and at
first we were all a little bit hard on ourselves, but we had a very spiritual
testimony meeting and decided to change our course of action in learning the
language and learning the gospel. Our room was filled so strongly with the
spirit and I could feel Heavenly Father had so much for me to hear! He Really
wants us to succeed, but we must first put all our effort into reaching our
potential as missionaries as, members, as His children! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
temple here in Buenos Aires is beautiful I will try and send some pictures. We
listened to the whole thing in Spanish last week which was good, but I
definitely think I will be listening in English because I need to really here
the blessings and wisdom that come from it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My
teachers are amazing I have been learning so much! It has been difficult and as
we are approaching the third week they will no longer be translating for us and
only speaking in Spanish! Aaaaahhhh.... It is a little bit scary but
I Know that as we only listen to it and only learn our lessons in it
we will do much better! Our district is doing and English fast on Friday, which
means speaking no English the whole day not even to ask how to say
something, so you can bet your money I will be attached to my dictionary all
day haha! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have
been teaching our "investigators" (aka teachers) almost every
day and now we have two different ones and yikes one of them is so difficult,
but I'm trying to prepare myself to just really bring the spirit to those
lessons because that is how Heavenly Father teaches and They need to learn
from Him and not me, I'm just his instrument and servant and I want to be
prepared to be what he needs for each person we come in contact with. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Please
pray for my ability to be able to understand the language and to be able
to succeed in the English fast! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are
getting a new CCM mission presidente on Tuesday! It is sad but good!
I'm excited to learn from the new one as much as i have learned from
Presidente y Hermana Openshaw! I love you all! I hope you are doing well! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One
scripture I really liked this week, Melanie will appreciate it because it has
to go with our motto, "No Excuses", Alma 39:13<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="13"></a> <span style="color: #2f393a;">That ye turn to the Lord with all your mind, might, and
strength; that ye lead away the hearts of no more to do wickedly; but rather
return unto them, and </span><sup>a</sup><a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/39.13?lang=eng"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">acknowledge</span></a><span style="color: #2f393a;"> your faults and that wrong which ye have done. </span>I
hope that is correct I will double check to make sure and let you know next
week if it is for sure. ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Keep going
and remember He loves you! Trust in Him and your blessings will be
great! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Buenos Dias! It is early here and my fingers are like lightning trying to write as much information as possible! The CCM Is fantastic, but hard. We are always praying, teaching, practicing! the language is coming slowly so I don't understand everything all the time. It is improving though! I´m so excited to go to the temple today we are leaving right after this! I am going to listen in spanish which will be a ton of spanish so hopefully I can learn as much as possible in the temple!I am so glad to hear from everyone and I can´t believe Carson is already 6!!! Crazy, he is growing up so much! I miss him and Ihope he has a great birthday!We already had a crazy rainstorm which Hermana Sump and I were in trying to get to the distribution center! hah we got attacked by flying cardboard! ;)While at the airport as funny as this may seem Heavenly Father blessed a few of us sister missionaries. We went to do money exchange and the man at the counter asked if we had $1 and 11 cents, and none of thought we had some. I decided to look in my wallet, but I knew I had taken out my change. Lo and behold there was exactly 11 cents in my wallet kinda cheesy, but it all gave us a good laugh :) My district is probably the best! Elder Pulsipher is our district leader, yes bishop Pulsiphers nephew! We are always having a good time, but always trying to increase our knowledge and the spirit in our room! It is amazing how Padre Celestial puts people in our lives so we can Learn from them!And yes mom I make my bed every morning (big shocker I know) and say my prayers (lots and lots of prayers) ;)We watched an MTC Devotional and it was amazing it taught me that in order to have converts I must be my First convert. I never looked at it that way so as I have been trying my hardest to learn things that strengthen my testimony and truly convert mi corazón to the Lord! In order to reach those who I´m meant to teach i mus be more dedicated and become a consecrated missionary! I read a talk by a general authority before coming to the CCM about being a consecrated missionary and I thought it wouldn´t be to hard because I love the Lord so much, but being here it is something that I´m learning I really have to work on. i know I´m not perfect, but I´m now the Lord´s servant and want to be an instrument that works when and where He wants me not where I want to be! I have truly felt his love and your love all the way here in Argentina!You guys are always in my prayers! I love you! And never forget that the Lord is always with you and that He loves you and wants to see you succeed. Continually convert yourself to the Lord and you will see numerous blessings! Have a grand week!</span></i><br />

<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i style="background-color: white;">The holidays have passed and now it is time for me to head off on my long journey to Paraguay! I report to the Argentina MTC on Thursday January 2, 2014, three days left in the United States! I am so grateful for the love and support that I have received in deciding and preparing for my mission! It has been an amazing experience and has helped me to grow. I am eager to serve the Lord and to understand the pure love of Christ as I serve the people of Paraguay. Thank you for any and all support! I love ya and can't wait to see you in 18 months! Please write, I would love to hear from you!<br />Hermana Dunagan </i></span>Hermana Dunagan http://www.blogger.com/profile/14601817641815212349noreply@blogger.com0
