8/7/17 Les Quiero Mucho:)

Hola Todos,

Well this letter is going to be short cause I dont have a lot of time to write. The best part of my week was just being able to be happy. I am happy and it is from being obedient and living the way a missionary should live. I have struggled for the most part of my mission with a few rules and now I am doing a lot better. We are seeing success in the area and have a lot of people to teach and sometimes its hard to find time to find more people to teach but the moment we start trying we find. Miracles.

Our miracle for the week was Marcos. He came to church again and wants to keep coming. This week we are going to talk a lot about his baptism and start planning it. We are really excited for his progress. As well I have been reading a lot in the Book of Mormon and trying to plan to go to the temple when I get home. Use these two sources of power from our Heavenly Father. I promise you if you read the Book of Mormon and go to the temple just a little more than you are now you WILL see the difference our Father will make in your life. You will have the power to overcome temptaion. You make the change you want. You will be able to feel worthy, clean, and repented. You wont be perfect but  Christ will perfect you through His Atonement. I know this. This is my messeage today. Read, pray, go to His house, keep your covenants and God will help you make the rest feel good.

We all are in the same world and we all need to make it home. Lets remember what our goals are. Lets live the way we need to. Everyone is different. Love with patience. Love with trust. Love with faith in those you love and they will love you! I know that. For I have seen it in my own life. We must trust, and love in faith. Les Quiero mucho.

7/31/17 Service and Patience

Hola Todos,

This week was good and a little long but we got through it. Being in a trio is nice because you have two people to talk to and when one annoys you the other one is there to pick up the pieces. Haha my companions are amazing and are helping me become a better missionary. They are both good examples in different things that help me. This week I learned a little more about patience and service.

At the beginning of the week I wasnt doing so well, and all I wanted was to feel better. The problem was I was thinking so much in myself that I forgot about why I was truly here in the mission. As we worked I started to realize why I was here and the blessings started to come. We found a new investigator that ended up going to church yesterday through service. Being in a trio two of us work and the other teaches as we do service. It was my turn to teach so I started talking to Marcos and he told me that he want to change. We talked about everything in his life and what he wants to change. We promised him that if he reads, prays, and goes to church he will be able to truly change and repent and feel clean from all that he has done.

Another miracle was a contact that Elder Ward did. We were walking and he just randomly goes away from Elder Michel and I and starts talking a girl wating for a bus. We ended up teaching her twice this week and she is in love with the Book of Mormon. Go Elder Ward.

I know that the Book of Mormon is powerful. When we read it we are blessed. As we are patient and serve others we are able to forget ourselves and focus on others. I know that Heavenly Father loves us and that us we are humble and love others we are able to feel His love for us. Reach out to someone this week and serve them, and then read the Book of Mormon. You will see the difference in your life. The Spirit will be able to touch your heart and change you. You will be able to repent and feel worthy. Small acts of service will help you have more patience with yourself and that will help you feel happier. I know that we can repent and change and truly become different people. All the mistakes we have made can be wiped away. Christ loves you and wants you to change. Do it. Lets do it together. Les Quiero.
