Howdy do family! I am
doing great. Just doing what a missionary does best every day all day
long.
We have had very little time in
our area, so it has been an uneventful week. We did exchanges in Bell
Ville and Leones. It was my last time in Bell Ville, but I did not visit
or see anyone I know. Kind of a bummer, but an excuse to go back one
day.
Funny moments of the week:
-someone contacted us because
they couldnt believe how blonde our hair was, or the straightness of our
teeth. She later told us that she had been to church before and would
love for us to pass by. It was while we were in exchanges and Hna
Miko and I laughed pretty hard after. Sometimes we have to use our
skin tone and accent to our advantage.
Also, a lady in the ward is super pregnant and will give
birth on wednesday, so we went and helped her make pan relleno! SUPER RICO!!!
You will all be able to try it soon :)
Spiritual thought:
This week I decided to take
dads advice as a challenge. I have been studying the word VENIR.
How many times do we read or pass over this simple word while reading the
scriptures? I began to study more and in the GEE it says that it
means to obey, te be a disciple, to come closer to, or to follow.
When we invite people to
come unto christ, we truly are inviting them to act and change their lives by
learning, and acting upon the whisperings of the spirit. We invite them
to follow his teachings and make covenants with Him. My favorite
scriptures have this grand invitacion. COME. Omni 1:26, 3 Nefi
9:14, Moroni 10:32-33
It is a divine gospel.
Also we can come unto him as we
give of ourselves, and leave him our will. It comes through
repentance. As I studied more of his atonement, I found this
scripture. in Dyc 19 it reads,
16 For behold, I, God, have suffered
these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent;
18 Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest
of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer
both body and spirit—and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and
shrink—
19 Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook
and finished my preparations unto the children of men.
41 Or canst thou be humble and meek, and conduct thyself
wisely before me? Yea, come unto me thy Savior. Amen.
He
is there and always will be. It is a mesage that only hits me harder and
deeper each time I read it. I feel so honored to be able to bring this
message of glad truth to many. He lives. Be examples of him this
week and strive to sacrifice yourselves in his honor.
Sorry
it was a week muy sommerized but I hope you keep being who you are, but dont
change too much!!!
Love
you!
