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...

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...

I've Been Watching You

Dear Reader, Our little boy has not even arrived yet and I am already feeling the pressure to a good example. All growing up, I was always told to never do anything that I wouldn't want my children to know about/do themselves. "Always be on your best behavior, your children will watch you." I will be honest, I have always agreed with that idea and I think it is a good way to live your life. However, I didn't feel the weight of that responsibility until my wife got pregnant. I feel like I am getting more and more pressure from myself to be a perfect example, even though this little boy hasn't even met me yet. That's why I am relating so much with this song right now. I know, this isn't too deep. I just wanted to share the song more than anything.
