Another Week In The Fields.

Hellooooooo Home Family and away from home family and friends and away from home friends and everyone!

This week many good things happened. I'm sure of it.

At the beginning of the week, the sun peeked out and gave us a little look of what summer will be like. It's going to be hot, then I won't need a jacket.

We put a lot of focus into visiting with the members this week. You have the ability to influence a lot of people's lives, and a lot of the time, it's the people you're closest to. The person that needs you might just need to know that they are still on your mind. So we went to provide support to these families, sharing a spiritual thought at each one.

Our friend Gustavo continues to amaze me with his love for God and his humility. There’s a lot of people here like that. The sweetest people on the planet here, I'm convinced.


Alma 37:44

Conference is coming up, and its like those drinking fountains with water bottle fillers. You can watch conference and get a good sip of information from the fountain, or you can bring a big water bottle (lots of questions) and have a good long refreshing drink (of answers). If you watch it, I will too.

Have a blessed week!!!

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...
