Christmas

Buenos dias!

Hola a todos! Espero que tuvieron una navidad especial, y que aprendieron mucho del amor de Jesucristo. Para mi, no estudie tanto como debería, pero lo que estudié, aprendí más que las circunstancias del nacimiento de Jesucristo. He sentido su amor para todos, tambien. Puedo ver él en las caras de las personas que enseñamos, y en los milagritos durante la semana.


I'll keep this one short[er]. Take this extra time to go genuinely tell the first person that comes to mind what benefit they provide for you!

This week I focused on recognizing the little miracles, and i saw a lot. When you look, and attribute good things to God, you see them more and more. I always thought it wss a little goofy when i was asked "how did you see the hand of god today?" Because I wasnt looking. But now that I'm looking, He is in the smallest details!
Just a few:
We couldn't find anyone who could give our friend a ride to church, until the morning of. Elder Keller and I both prayed separately, and then a name popped into his head while he was getting ready. We texted this less active member (my favorite person on the planet), and He clutched up! He came and gave a ride to our friend, and they both got to go to church! (Huge W)

I don't usually check my phone in the morning, but on saturday i felt to, to see if I'd have time to cook chicken. I looked at our schedule and saw that we forgot about cleaning the church! We were able to speed over and the other spanish elders too, and were able to get good work done.

Also, we were able to deliver presents to a family who needed it yesterday!

God is there. Right along with you. The more you look for him the more you'll find him, and you will find relief.

Feliz Navidad! Disfruta la semana!

Consider The Lilies

Hey all! Spring is in full swing! What a wonderful time of year. My companions can testify that I say "wow. Look how pretty those flowers are!" quite often. We are in good hands, and what wonderful creations our heavenly father has made! Matthew 6:26, 28 "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" "...Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:" The bugs are out too. Each night when we get back, half a swarm of gnats follows us inside. They seem friendly enough, though! Pam came to church a third time! She's preferring to study independently right now, so we can't take any credit, but needless to say, she is very cool. Have a great week! I'll be sharing the good news of Jesus Christ's resurrection! Élder Duncan The neighbor's dog, Toby, often comes here. Exchanges, we had tw...

Dios Magnifica Nuestro Esfuerzo

¡Hola a todos! I'm really enjoying my time here at the CCM. I've already seen the ways in which God supports his missionaries. It's hard to spend time here without your love for Jesus Christ increasing.  Since the Last time I emailed, I became district leader! My comps became zone leaders over Rama 9, and that left the position to be filled. My district makes my job easy though, because they all rock.  I've notice that I've really been missing being able to listen to music. I've lost count of the amount of times I've wanted to play "I've got a dream" or "Quien serà" by Pedro Infante. Just those two songs in particular though. I think I'll ask my teacher to play the latter in class... Otherwise, since we can only listen to hymns, you find out pretty quickly what everyone's favorite hymns. And listening to the tabernacle choir when Elder Temple turns it on gives me nostalgia and the strange urge to build large structures out of ...

Sick Conference!

Hola! The last week has been great! I'm getting further and further prepared to head to Washington! I'm heading out next Wednesday, the 16th First, on Friday morning, we had the opportunity to sing to the incoming missionaries the song that our district had been preparing. It was an arrangment of the FSY medley. We were surprised to have gotten the opportunity to play, because our audition hadn't been our best run through. Then the morning of, everyone was a little sick, but we said a prayer before, and the spirit was there in that performance. The new missionaries said they quite enjoyed it. The big one: CONFERENCE! Woot! This conference was amazing. I was able to stay awake the whole time with help from my comps, and I took a whole lot of notes. I really enjoyed Elder Budge's talk about being still. It was a great reminder to me that just as it's important to talk to God when we pray, it's just as important to take time and listen. I pictured a Zen room, simil...
