Las Dificultades y Felicidades de La Vida(Y de La mision)
Hey Yall,
This week has been a dousy. We had a conference in Los Angeles, which is quite a trip for our zone of missionaries. On Wednesday there were 9 missionaries that all stayed in the same house in Victoria to travel the next day to LA. We had a good time talking about every little thing we can do in our zone and our lives at home. It was a good time the next morning when everyone was fighting for the shower. I showered the night before. :)

Elder Rabanales is progressing lots. He gave a talk in Church on Sunday about Tithing and it was great. :) We´re visiting lots with Natali, our good friend who is working on being baptized, thus receiving the remission of sins through Christ´s Atonement and receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Now, I mention all of that in detail because that is our vision as children of God. Our goal is to live with God again, which can only be done by being baptized by someone holding the power of the priesthood in order to have Eternal life, which is the greatest of the gifts of God(D&C 14:7).

We also are having success with a lady named Olga, who wants her son, Samuel, to ´understand that God and Jesus Christ are not just a story´.
That´s how our work is going. :)

Communication is key I´m learning slowly but surely. EACH person in every relation or situation has to communicate. We´re learning that every day with companions here in the mission.

Keep reading the Scriptures daily and know that Prayers are always heard and answered. :)

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Book of Mormon Stories

Dear Reader, Today I simply want to share a story that has strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon over the years. Professor Felix Mynhardt was fluent in many languages, including English, Afrikaans, Hebrew and Egyptian, as well as many others. He was employed as a language professor when he had been praying that the Lord would give him some divinely important task that would justify his having this gift of language from God. In 1970 he visited with a group of Mormon leaders, who sought to commission him to translate the Book of Mormon from English into Afrikaans. He said that he knew of the Book of Mormon from his religions studies, and his initial reaction was that he did not want to be involved in translating it. However, that evening, as he prayed upon his knees, as was his habit, he said the Spirit of the Lord convinced him. The message was something on the order of, "You asked me for a great, divinely inspired task of translation, I sent it to you in the form o...
