Email (Dated: 10/6/2014)

Hiiii family!!! Wow it feels like forever since i was able to write you! And SO much has happened!! First off I have been in a trio for 2 and a half weeks! My other companion is Hermana Iles!! She is from Columbia and thee funniest person ever! Shes also a convert to the church and has such a strong testimony! I have already learned SO much from her! But transfers are next week so well probably only have a week left as a trio. 
Things are all good! We are working with the members more little by little. Our bishop is trying so hard to animate the ward- Its something weve been struggling with. Were in charge of 2 areas right now... Ours (Galeana) and the area Obrera. We should be having a baptism soon for the area Obrera! (: His name is Edwin. Ill keep you updated! 


We havent been able to leave the house much this week, but we had a huge miracle i want to share with you! Earlier this week,we told our District Leader that we were going to give out 50 "tickets" or invitations to Conference this weekend. And he promised us that if we gave 100 tickets, we would see huge miracles!! The spirit was so strong as he gave us this promise that all of us had tears in our eyes. But we werent alble to leave our houseuntil Friday. When we had permission to leave, we gave the tickets out to literally EVERYONE we saw. On combies, in the street, to members to invite thier friends, everything possible! And as we returned to the house, we realized we have 2 tickets left... And then something even more amazing happened- We realized we had printed out 102 tickets. We had given out EXACTLY 100 invitations to the conference in ONE day.. something we had planned to achieve throughout the entire week! We were so touched and amazed by how present the help of the Lord was!! I know without a doubt that that was a Miracle. We had divine help. There is no other possible way! 


I also wanted to share 2 scriptures with you! The first is in 2 Nephi 22:2 "Behold, God is my Salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength & my song; he also has become my Salvation." 
I want all of you to know that I know Christ is our Savior. He really has become my strength and my song. I know with all of my heart that he is our Salvation. I cant express enough of my gratitude for him. I know without him I am nothing. I know he always has his arms stretched out to us. I know he loves us with a love that we cant even comprehend-for his love is inifite! How blessed are we to have such an amazing person looking after us. 
The second scripture is Alma 37: 44 "Give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a straight course to eternal BLISS." 
How blessed were we to have been able to listen to LIVING Apostles and a Prophet this weekened! My testimony of these men shot through the roof as I realized how blessed we really are. I had promised so many people in the street that if they came and listened to him, they would know that he is a man of God. And my promise came right back to me- As I listened to our Prophet Thomas S. Monson, the spirit pierced my heart like never before! I know without a doubt that this is the church of God. These men receive direct revelation for US. They're words are from God! I am so grateful for all of their warning words. I encourage all of you to act on the words they offered us- Listen and apply their words and I promise you we will happier than ever before. We will have bliss. 

I love all of you so very much! Take care! MWAH!
Con todo el amor del mundo, 
Hermana Chynoweth
LES AMO!!
