It's May Already???

Hello!

This week was great! I can't believe it's already May!

-Free popsicles-
We stopped by a house to get in contact with a friend. She wasn't there, but her husband was, and he told us that he didnt have time. But, he did have enough time to lead us to the other side of the house and give us some delicious frozen cream popsicles. The people here are seriously the kindest. The phrase "mi casa es tu casa" (my house is your house) is a staple here.

I have just about finished a study for easter, focused on all of the accounts leading up to and the events after Christ's resurrection.(I super reccomend it. "Jesus the Christ" helps put things into context very well) i was then reading in the Book of Mormon, where Jesus visits and blesses the people. I was struck to see how much he loved them. So much that it brought him to tears of joy. Jesus Christ loves you so much, and he is filled with joy when you come to him.

[20] And they arose from the earth, and he said unto them: Blessed are ye because of your faith. And now behold, my joy is full. [21] And when he had said these words, he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them. [22] And when he had done this he wept again;
(3 Nephi 17)

Blessed spring! I love you Mom!

We were invited to help with a community event. I got to raise this piñata!
I got to go on exchange with these wonderful elders
Also a staple here is gardens in the yard. This is our friend Gustavo's garden! We related faith in christ to being like a seed here.
Today, on P-day, we went on a hike. (I'm on the left)

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...
