Week 3 !!
Hola from México!
Wow, on our third week already, after this Sunday we are halfway over. Now the time has been flying for sure. Im sorry there were no pictures las time I forgot to bring my cord but now there will be pictures. Thank goodness for my compnion. Anyway life here has been great and awesome. We have taught one investigator already and now teaching two-one in the morning and at night. We also get to teach members once a week too, similar to home teaching visits. One family was a mom and her two little kids. They were so cute and funny. My spanish has never been more fluent and my confidence to do so has been at its highest. The blessings of the gospel are real and only with help from Heavenly father can we be His servants ready to go forth to find His children to teach and help them come unto our Savior. I am so happy and thankful to have my agency, to have chosen to serve a mission for the Lord. This work and learning and studying is not easy, nor is it suppose to be. But it is for our purpose here on earth. We are here to learn and progress in our Father´s plan of salvation. I know where I came from and why I am here. I know where I will go. The plan of salvation is true, and there is happiness always found in the gospel.
I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon, that it is the word of God and it was written and preserved for our instruction and guidance in these last days. The spirit of the Lord and his power are contained in its sacred pages. If you have not ready it, please please do so. There is no other book that with more truth and I promise and testify that anyone can and will get closer to God and Jesus Christ than by any other book. If you have read, do it again. There is always something to be discovered and pondered about each time we read. A fountain of knowledge is worth more than any physical thing on this earth. I miss everyone at home. But I love being here and love to learn the work of the Lord.
I hope everyone at home is doing well and please, email me if you wish. I would love to email and hear from you. Until next week, I say goodbye to you all!!
