(pictures above are sisters in our area, and pictures of the families in the bishopric)
El tiempo se va bien rapido. Its been 3 months!!!! Just ended my first transfer en el campo. It's loco crazy. It was super interesting this cambio being my first. It was super sad and exciting at the same time, We basically got an entirely new zone. I'm pretty sure me and Hermana Sanchez were the only companionship to not change, and one of our Lideres de ZOna and un ELder went home! It's so sad because you realize you might not see some of these people again, but it's also super exciting because they get to go home and see there familias, or they get to expereince a new area and new people so its bitter sweet! The ward I live in is decent size-I don't think it's as big as the ones we have at home. There are more members where we live, so the wards are bigger. The members and bishopric, even the stake presidency are super supportive. This past sunday I went to church twice, because one of our investigadores could only go to an earlier session, and I listend to a talk by (I belive) a 12 year old. Although he looked like he was a couple years younger than jayden. Mother...It was the most amazing thing I had ever heard...He didn't take notes- just expanded upon scriptures and quotes...his talk was a good 20 min. long!! And he didn't even read off anything!! He was just speaking -it was crazy! Literally better than most talks given by adults -easily. I was so impressed to say the least. I have my first baptism this week! I'm so excited- Citlali is so excited and super prepared. I'm so happy for the decision she has made to follow the example of Christ, It's going to bless her life so much more than she knows. I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to be apart of it from the very beginning! It's bien padre!
It was great to get your pictures. I showed it too all of my investigadores! They were like woah your dad is so tall and why do you have 2 Samoan brothers- referring to Jayden and Preston- who they think is too buff to comprehend. haha . They thought he was black, and this was the elderes! jaja! It was really funny. They also think Sidney looks older than me..no big deal. jaja. But, yea lots has been happening, I'm super excited for the opportunity I to stay in Leon for at least another 6 weeks. Time flies in the mission.
So anyway, something I wanted to share with you was the movie, The Other Side of Heaven! jaja. Now I haven't watched it, but the mensaje (message) from the president of the mission was about it. If you guys watch it or have seen it you'll realize that this missionary literalmente went through just about every trial possible. All of us have trials, temptaions, etc in our lives. It's a part of God's plan and it helps us to learn and grow. One thing I have learned and want to apply more in my life, is having more fe (faith) en Jesu Cristo. Alone, we might not be able to get through trials...literalmente, whats seems imposible, just might be, but with Cristo, all things are posible, ALL is posible, and all can be done where you will gain a greater trust in your Saviour, and be happier and stonger. It's all because of our Savior and Redeemer Jesu Cristo, whom I am eteranally greatful for. So trust in Him. Don't try to get through things alone. The smallest act of fe en Cristo can bring about many great milagros en sus vidas (miracles in our lives). I know this is true, and I hope that this helps somebody from back home in some way or another. A scripture that goes along with is Genesis 26:24, look it up!!! haha ¨Fear not, for I am with thee...¨ and I remembered a quote from a talk in the Liahona - ¨True posterity in this world comes from balance of providing for our families while also loving and serving the Savior.¨ Everything requires balance in this life. Love all of you so much!
Con Amor
