He never forgets you!

Happy Monday everybody!                                                                                             Mar. 19,2018

  We are happy and healthy down here in Zapata. Grateful for it!

Today I want to touch quickly on a fam that we have been teaching this entire cambio. The familia Zubieta. It is a big family, and it is the niños that we are focusing in, they want to follow the example of Jesus Christ. Especially little Angel! I love that little boy with all my heart. He came to church on Sunday and sat so quietly all through sacrament meeting. Such a great kid. (Angel, Diego, and little Natasha are siblings, and their cousins are Joselyn and Maria Fernanda)
Angel is right in front of me and the other ninos. I LOVE them so much!!!

This past week during one of our visits, the Spirit was so strong. We go there and have a lot of fun, because we love this family. (It is always the uncles and aunts and all the little kids) But they are struggling with progressing, the adults.
Peppers anyone???
. So towards the end of the lesson last Tuesday, I felt the Spirit practically elbow me in the ribs, (gently of course) and I began to ask them how they felt about our visits. The uncles started explaining their feelings of peace and calm, how they noticed something different about the niños, etc etc.
Our power went out again. Here we are chillin( NOT) til it goes on. 
There is a scripture about how the Spirit will give you your words when you need them, all you have to do is open your mouth. This is exactly what happened this occasion. I was able to explain that all of these feelings that they had felt were not from us. They were there because we are authorized representatives of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to invite every person to come unto Christ. And even though we say we don't have time to remember Him (Church attendance) He NEVER forgets us.

I am so grateful for el Espìritu Santo that testified to every single word it placed in my mouth. The dad of the two girls told us later that when they get back from vacations (they left on Saturday) he is going to begin to put his life in order. Praying that he follows this sweet special spirit and does just that. Sometimes you just have to be direct. Sometimes you just have to look them in the eyes and ask them if they really believe that God can help them with their problems. 

I love you all! Keep on loving life! And keep on looking to the Savior and our prophet hoy en día in all things!

May 13, 2019 Happy Monday Everyone! And happy final week of the mission to me!!! So here's the thing: this is my last letter from the mission field. Next Monday, I'll be traveling to the mission offices in Villa, and Tuesday morning I'm off. Gone. Ouch, it hurts just thinking about it. Let me explain why: A perfect example: Sunday. Yesterday, I really felt the meaning of the hymn, "I Stand All Amazed". First, because Hilaria was baptized! She met the hermanas about 10 months ago, and we had actually left her, because I thought that she would never get around to it. But we felt like we needed to darle una vuelta, so we did. And she told us that it was time, she was ready to get baptized. I thought, "HA! Será. We´ll find out." Very quickly we were able to notice that the Spirit had been working on her. So on Sunday, she got baptized.  Just imagine it. Sitting in sacrament meeting, among members and families that I know and love. On one b...

Patience is a heavenly virtue

May 6, 2019 Happy Monday everybody! Can I just say, the Lord is so good to us? He really is. And I love Him. This past week, I was studying and thinking about what I should develop of the Christlike attributes. You already know, when we ask God what we need to improve or change, He lets us know pretty quickly.  So I am trying to develop more patience. I like it, it is very closely related with faith and hope. At the end of my study, I prayed for the opportunity to develop patience.  HE ANSWERED. Splits with Herbertson! So great! This week, it was hot.  This week, it was very, very, hot. It was also the "Día del Niño" so everybody was out and about partying, just like the past 2 weeks. So there weren't very many people available.  We planned well, but the backups to the backups fell. People that were going to get baptized suddenly had to suspend our visits, and people that were going to come to church never showed up. I may or may not h...

Just Keep Swimming

Hola Family, Swimming in rain. Just for a couple of days. But SO much. I think that for a moment God was tempted to send another flood. Can´t say I blame him. Happy Monday! Today (as is everyday) was an expierience. We went to Palenque today (it is only about an hour away) to play sports with a couple of other zones. Super fun! It is hilarious. Because there are all these latinos who are born with a soccer ball in their hand... and then there is the crazy American running around like a pollo sin su cabeza. All of the Elders now know to fear me and my mad soccer and bball skills. haha Gotta love me a coke down here in Mexico!!! Life is good! Working hard down here. I was so happy this past week because we had an awesome lesson with our fecha, Elizabeth. I felt the strongest impression during the lesson to tell her that she is loved. So I told her that God loved her. After, we had her pray and we asked her how she felt. She said she couldn´t explain, she felt like cryin...
