Number 26

Good Morning!

This week was full of learning! I swear it was. I have to seriously dig to even remember what I did yesterday, so bare with me.

We went on exchanges, so I was with Elder Borden for a day in Connell. We got free sodas in the morning, and in the afternoon cried with one of the older members who's had his world turned upside down. It reminded me of the covenant we make at Baptism, to mourn with those who mourn, to comfort those that stand in need of comfort. 
Recently someone told us, 'the most helpful thing you can do for someone is to be there for them. A simple, "Hey, I know how you feel"

We also had Zone conference, and a training from the president the next day focused on Goals!! Now, I swear that I'm going to have good goals, probably starting next week.

Sunday whipped me. We were invited to teach at a mission preparation class, and I was tasked to teach young adults how to teach someone to pray. Once I started, the organization left my mind, and I felt like I was barreling through brick walls. It was new, and really tough. I hope that they learned something. As for me, I have a renewed desire to practice teaching.

Mosiah 18:8-10. Read it. It talks about what we promise to do when we're baptised.

Nos vemos!

On Saturday we went with our friend to Catholic church, and took a selfie with the preachers.
We helped at a food bank! I'm not in this photo, just put it in so I could remember it
Our friend JJ gave these to us. (It's just water) Also, we had a lesson with JJ!!

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...
