"Thanks for all your letters."

I am running every morning. In order to help the Lord, we as missionaries need to live what we are teaching our investigators. My mission is Awesome!!! Thanks for all your letters.  :)  And I'll expect to hear from all those who promised to write me.

Love,
Sister Ortiz

"Missionary work is one of the greatest ways to help Heavenly Father in His work."

February 16, 2011

My mission is Super Amazing!!!  I am in San Clemente, CA.  This is a great area to be in.  Missionary work is one of the greatest ways to help Heavenly Father in His work!!!  We have found 3 investigators, and the members love feeding us.  My companion is always laughing at me for loving the food so much.  We have 2 baptisms coming up on February 27th, 2011, and they apparently are related to me some how. I'm excited to hear them talk to my parents!!  My companion is my trainer, and this was her last transfer, therefore we are working super hard. I love la obra missions (the missionary work). I'm very blessed to be here, and I can't wait to hear from all of you.  Also, I spoke at Sacrament meeting in San Juan Capistrano, CA.  It is a gorgeous city, lots of tourism, and is also one of the best areas on our mission.  The Lord really does answer prayers, and I know this is my place to be at this time.  Sorry it took me a while to send my address, we have no time, and P-day went super fast. I'm on my way to a lesson, and then I'll let all of you see some pictures.  Hermana Reyes is such an awesome trainer!!  Always smile because life is beautiful.

Update from the MTC

Sister Ortiz was residing at the MTC prior to her departure to Carlsbad, California on February 9th. She had not been assigned a sister companion yet so she had been in a trio. However, she is filled with the spirit and shared that this has been one of the best decisions she has ever made. She loves the gospel. She is excited to be reporting to her mission area. She sends her love to you all.
