I am always praying for the best for each of you. I am so happy to hear that Analaine and Eddy will be getting sealed!! I was hoping to be there but I do not think what for the eternal blessing is a good idea. hahaha. I am so happy that Sariah is doing SO AMAZING in volleyball!! I am sure it will be a great club season. I am happy to here that Daniel is still enjoying Scouts!1 It will help you so much! I am happy to hear that life is still crazy busy!! i wouldn't want it any other way. I am so happy to hear that Vanesa is doing great with her pregnancy. I Am happy to know that my nephews and their parents are doing great!

Hi there!!
How are you all doing? I hope that you are all doing great!!! I am so happy to be in the mission and I wouldn't trade this time for anything!! The Lord really gives us small sweet blessings on a daily basis. This week I was able to witness God's hand in my life and the life of others! After having a hard time and thinking that I couldn't handle it anymore, the Lord showed me that it all depends on the way I pay attention to the Spirit. In the month of October, I had forgotten a saying that I would say all the time... "If you think you can't do it, you're right. And it you think you can do it, you're right." I had forgotten the power of being positive at all times. I started to doubt in my ability. But really I was doubting in the power of the Lord that could be manifested in me. He truly is all powerful. He can do anything in our lives that He wants... But He cannot do it without our permission. If he shut our minds and hearts to the Lord and His Spirit then nothing will happen. It is the same reason why Christ could not work any miracles in Nazareth(?). No one believed Him. No one let Him in!!! I hope that each of us can let Him in. If something isn't going right, if we are sad or mad about something, all we need to do is take a step back and open the door to Christ. Find His path and then it will get better. Not instantly but you will feel a difference in your life. I can promise that with all my heart that it is true!!
So this week has been full of great things. One thing that was great is that we had interviews with the Presidente. I love talking with him. He is truly called of God to help. I wouldn't want any other mission president. I hope that all of you will put your trust in your leaders! I have learned that being open with them helps you far more! Another great thing is that I love teaching!!! I had a great experience on Friday. We had decided to take a member to as many lessons as we could. We invited Hna Mariyita to go out with us. It was a great decision. She was so inviting to the investigators and it was nice having a new testimony! I invite all of you to visit with the missionaries if you can!! It makes it do much easier for the investigators to feel welcomed!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Hey there!!
How are you all doing?? I am doing good. It has been a time of growth and self-reflection this last little while. I love the trials that we have and the chance the Lord gives us to grow and learn. I think that the key to getting through the trials is turning to the Lord and being patient. Right now I am still learning. I think that there is more to being strong and forever faithful during hard times. But I haven't found all the keys yet. When I figure it out then I will share with all of you my insights. We are all very different but maybe one key will help one of you! :)
This last week has been a bit eventful. First is that last Monday after writing, my companion and I moved from one house in our area to another. We had the help of a great family in our wrad. the Diaz family. They were able to come and help us get everything packed up. We don't have a lot of things so it only took us two trips. :) It was fun moving and now we live in a house that is cheaper, cuter, and a lot more tranquil. It is great!! We love our new house.
After that we had a Zone Conference with Presidente Maravilla. He is truly a choosen man of God!! I learned so much from him and was able to start seeing the brighter side of my hard times. It was great. And tomorrow I will be able to talk with him one-on-one, so I think that he will be able to help me more!! :) Then yesterday, all the sisters in the mission (30) were able to go to the Quetzatenango Mission. Why? Because we were granted permission to be able to go and serve in the Quetzaltenango Temple Open House!! I am so excited to enter into the House of the Lord again!! I din't get to see the temple but the ride was GORGEOUS!! The mountains that we drove through were amazing. I took a bunch of pics but here is one and one of two women in the traditional clothing of Guatemala! I know that without a doubt the temple is the Lords house. I just saw pics of it and I wish to go and never leavfe!! Hahaha. I hope that you are all going to the temple as much as you can!! It is one thing that I miss so much!
I love you all and I appreciate all your prayers. For those that this needs to be forwarded to, just know that I still love you tones. The rulers sre now a lot more strict and that is why.
I miss you all!!
Love,
Hna Pelaez

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
I actually wouldn't remember that today is Halloween if it weren't for my companion. She loves it and is sad they don't do anything to celebrate it here. Hahaha. Today as a zone activity, we got to go to a banana plantation. It was way interesting seeing it the whiole process!! Everything is done by man power and not by machines like I thought!! I will send some pictures of the "field trip" we had. hahaha.
So I have been learning a growing a lot in the last month. It has been a hard time for me but I am very grateful for it all. I don't know when it will get better, but I have faith in the Lord's promise that if we ask for our righteous desires with heartfelt prayers then we will recieve the righteous desires of our hearts( Enos 1;12)!! I am sure that each and everone of you have all been having hard times. Sometimes you won't know what else you can do to be better. You might ask yourself everyday what more can you give. And maybe you are doing all that you can to put God's will in your life. But this is the moment when you muct realize that sometimes God puts us through trailsnot to punish us, but to make us improve. To make us stronger. To keep us safe from the sins of getting into a lull. He knows us. He never forgets us (1 Nephi 21:14-16). I know that He is at my side. He is pleased when we turn to Him during our trials. He loves each of us! Please never give up!! I promise to you all that I will never give up!! I will press forward and I will reach the goals that God has put for me. I wish for you all to have the same desires!!
I love you all!!! Press forward always.
