Always an Adventure

Image
Happy Monday!!  Every week is always an adventure, I just wanted to share a story of one of the normal days out here on the island. We visited with Hermana Carmita, who is a darling hermana that has many trials but has the biggest heart ever. and she has a tricicle! These are ALL OVER the place here in mexico, they are used for selling tamales, fish, panuchos, house supplies, whatever. And I have always wanted a pic with one because this is a huge part of the culture down here. Like people just ride these all over the place and, for example, if they sell bread (pan) they will just yell, "PAAAANNNNN" . It is basically the mexican version of an ice cream truck.  And I love them! So yesterday we went to go and visit Hermana Carmita, and we walk down her street and see that her and her daughter Janet are outside studying in "Hijas en mi reino" so we jumped right in with them in their study. We talked about the importance of the family and how we can love and nur...

Thanks for the experience, I think I understand now. Now I'll just continue on my way!" But life isn't like that! In this gospel (and life) we are constantly under construction. I think we expect that, t...

His Spirit to be With You

Happy Monday again!                                                                                                 Aug. 27,2018  Today a lot of this email is influenced from the talk by President Eyring from this past general conference, "His Spirit to be With You". I absolutely love this talk and it is one we should all study carefully again and again.  First off, I think it is safe to say that we all experience hard days, weeks, and maybe months or years. Maybe a life? No, maybe not that extreme. Unless you are 24601, that is the exception there. Whoever got that, I love you.  We saw one of those hard times yesterday, when we and the zone leaders when to a funeral of a 1 month old baby, whose twin died almost immediately...
