January 4, 2015 The Sabbath and Sacrament

This week was good! We got fed once on New Years Eve. It was a good week.  We have a lot of Investigators that are progressing. We will baptized 3 people on January 17. Then, I will probably transfer on Jan 29. And then in February, Elder Suarez will reap in the Baptisms.

It isn’t fair because he will baptize all the Golden Investigators we are finding. But I enjoy finding golden people because you get to see all their progress and then hear about how they got baptized and just be thankful that Heavenly Father put them in your path for us to find.

We had a great week and I hope you had a great week also!!!:) 

I love you guys!!!!:)  

The Scripture of the week is D&C 59:9-15    

Let’s just say I learned a lot about the Sabbath and Sacrament this week!!!:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! 

I was super happy to have been able to skype you guys and I loved seeing your Faces!:) You guys look good! I hope you had a great Christmas! We had a pretty good Christmas! The work here actually gets harder here because everyone is partying and drinking but we did find a few elect people!

We didn't teach that many lessons but every lesson we did teach to investigators was a great lesson and all of them were to people who have a very big probability of being baptized and a few who I think will be leaders. Leaders because of just who they are. It was a fun week.  We did only get fed once though. This entire week we only got fed once...talk about disappointing haha. On Christmas day, for lunch, I ate instant noodles with an egg haha.  It was pretty good;) Elder Suarez and I are just having a good time.  I think we are being very efficient in our work. I am happy with it and I am looking forward to another week here.

Hope you guys have a great week!::)

Love you guys!!!:)

December 21, 2014 Faith, Obedience and Righteous Desires

Well this week Me and Elder Suarez had a good week!:) Our 3 IBD's are ELECT and they are so ready to be baptized. There date is Jan 10! They are so awesome!!!:) Me and Elder Suarez will be together for another transfer and then I will probably be the one to transfer at the end of January. The work in all was good but what I want to share is one of my Personal Studies this week!

So I studied about prayer haha and I had a great study.  The Bible Dictionary is amazing and I love it. It explains stuff so well. So the gist of it is read Helaman 10. When Nephi is told that anything he asks for will be given to him because his will is in line with the Fathers.  No special power is given to him. He isn't given another part of the Priesthood. God just told him that because of his obedience and righteous desires, his will was one with the Fathers. So anything that Nephi would ask for would be given.  Nephi only wanted to do the Fathers will.

We, as children of God, are just like Nephi.  We have also been given the same promise God gave to Nephi. If we are obedient and desire righteousness and desire to do the Will of God. Automatically anything we pray for will be given to us because it is not different from the will of God and he is able to bless us, if it is according to his will.

So, let us be obedient, exercise our faith and desire righteousness and we will become like Nephi, who had power to move mountains and summon plagues and do all sorts of amazing things through prayer. All of it is through Faith, Obedience and Righteous Desires.  We really can do ANYTHING!:)

This is probably stuff you knew a long time ago, but for me it is mind blowing!!!!:) So my scriptural thought is Helaman 10:4-5!
