Hola familia y amigos!!! March 30, 2015
Did I tell you all that my companion's name is Rebecca as well!!!!
Twinners!!! Well this week has been both awesome and hard....but I am excited
to share my experiences!
First this week's
moments:
Best Lesson:
I taught Itzel for the first time last Monday and it was
AWeSOME!!!! She has some addictions....rough ones that she has been trying to
work through. But, I so admire her for her desires. I felt inspired to talk
about the power of the Book of Mormon with her. In sacrament meeting, we had a great talk about strengthening ourselves against temptation. The
speaker brought out a match and told the other speaker to try and break
it....he did it with ease. Then he pulled out a bunch of matches....and the boy
couldn't break it. It's about doing as many things as we can to stay strong. I
promised her that while she had a hard time keeping all of the commandments,
that if she could start obeying the little ones she could add matches to her
stack and be able to break her addictions when she had and utilized the right
tools.
Tender Mercy moment: one night that our entire
appointments fell through we decided to go visit a member, Hermana Rincon...we
went in and talked and she finally asked "why did you guys come over?"
And we told her we had been in the area. She started to break down and tell us
about how she was having a really hard time that day and we had answered her
prayers. It was really awesome!
Weirdest moment: we had a guy stop us in the
library and tell us that we were in the wrong church and that we should
remember that Jesus Christ is on our name tags....he told us to do it (change
to the right church) for Him. I decided it was best to keep my mouth shut.....

Language moment: Yesterday I finally taught a
whole part of the lesson! Usually the people talk so fast that it's just easier
for H. Jimenez to teach it. But, this time I insisted that she give me a part.
It was really good I think. She likes having me teach the more important parts
of the lesson because people listen more attentively when the person butchers
their language :) but, hey, whatever gets people to feel the spirit!
Exciting Moment--- we found out at mission conference
that we may be getting I-Pads!!! woohoo...but the exciting part is that
they are having us take them home with us after our missions are over....not
sure why....but I am psyched.
I don't have much time..... but I want to share a spiritual thought.
As this week is Easter...it is fitting that my message is centered
on Christ. This week we had the wonderful opportunity to have a Mission
Conference with a general authority (Elder Neilson of the 70---he will be
speaking in a Sunday Session). He introduced
to us the video 'Because He Lives.' PLEASE GO wATch iT!!!! AnD sHARE IT!!!!! The
power of the Atonement is real. Christ's atonement not only offers us the
chance to change, but also the chance to have hope and happiness. Remember the talk
by Elder Bednar.....it's about the load. He gives us trials because he wants us
to grow. And while those trials are hard....Christ is the one who stands with
us and eases our burden! I am so grateful for His sacrifice! Please make the
effort, your whole life....but especially this week, to remember Him.....to
learn of Him. GO WATch ThAt vIDEo!!!!!!!!!!
