What dedicated missionaries do!
(zoom in to see the missionaries in this photo)


All I have to say this week is if you don't end your scripture study wanting to continue to read, then it wasn't an effective study. I have never had such a desire to just read read read! So much inspired and sacred words that we have to feast upon.

I love these verses. Mosiah 18.8-10 especially verse 8, we are to be witnesses before God, in all of our works, until we die. So that we may have the eternal life that we so desperately want, so that we may be resurrected in the first resurrection.

So the question is, are you a witness ?


WE ARE ALL WITNESSES!

Many signs & signals

There are so many things that happen in our lives, many signs and signals that the Lord gives us. But if we aren't looking , we will miss these precious little gifts from our Father in Heaven.


About a month ago we were receiving calls from a member from the ward. He had a friend who was asking us to give him a blesssing. And this week we were finally about to get with him and give him a blessing. His name is Carlos Rivera. He's taller than me, there aren't many surprisingly haha. But he's tall but very skinny because he has this very bad back sickness. that has injuried his spin. And he can't eat a lot or something like that. But he has lost a ton of weight. and he is just the most humble man. You can tell he was already a humble man before his illness.

But its so amazing to see his attendful mind as he understands every bit of doctrine. and is so willing to change and truly understand that the our Lord knows everything that he is going through. As he is only 28 years old. going through this rough stage in his life, as it's hard for him to read, so we pick out special verses for him to focus on.

I know that he will follow the example of Christ. As the lord has given him this speacial trial so that he was lead to us.

I know the Saviour knows all that we are going through.

and that through HIM we can change. We can let go of our weight that we sometimes carry for so long upon our shoulders.

We just need to come unto him in humble prayer and pour out our souls unto him.

He is waiting with open arms .

Mosiah 24;13-14

I love this work!

I love this work! That's all you have to know about this week.
So a couple months back , Elder Castro and I were getting a hair cut from this lady named Katty Salcedo. And so we decided to give her a short summary of our message of the Restoration. She has come to church for about 10 sundays straight and yesterday, this passed sunday, she made a coment about the scriptures. How she really hadn't quite understood them. But then she testified of how she understands them now. There's power behind ever verse, she says. As she is now marking her scriptures , verse to verse as we talk of the great words of wisdom behind them. and how she just wants to keep on reading and reading the scriptures.   She has a baptism date for this February.

Then another recent convert we were meeting with this week, as he bore his testimony this past Sunday. but when we were teaching him the atonement and answering all of his questions, he told us how he knows that all of our answers to all of our questions are in the book of mormon.

I know those words are true. We just need to search them with real intent!!!

all things that we should do!

Happy New Year!

New year was insane with crazy fireworks that went off at 12 exactly.. Sounded like world war 3!!! No joke!

But this week had a pretty amazing miricale that was happened.

As we were walking to a less actives house. My comp turns to me and says, ´lets go find a family!´ and I thought yeah yeah, kinda normal about it with some enthusiasm but with no faith. And at that moment I realized that in that same morning our mission president talked to us. he told us that everytime that we leave the house, we need to have the passion to have a miricale or at least expect to have a miricale! So I told myself or my Father in Heaven, ´lets see that miricale´! and not seconds later we turn the corner and a family was walking toward us. I was so suprised! Wow. I noticed that the husband was carrying some bags. So I offered to carry his bags for him to his house. then he told me his house was right around the corner... definitly was not around the corner. But he let me help him out. So I carried his heavy his bags to his house. We immediately had this bond of trust! Then he allowed us into his house. It was amazing. this family is chosen. I know they were. The first impression was key. These families are waiting for us. Just need to find them.
