How is everyone doing? This week went
by realllllllly fast and really good as well. We had a lot of lessons,
which is always good, and we gave a lottttt of blessings. It was a cool
experience to give all of those blessings in Spanish. I actually felt
like I could talk perfectly when I was giving them.
Well, here are some things that happened this week!
1.
I received letters! We received the bolsa! and I got some letters from
unexpected people! 1 from Hna. Andrade (My MTC teacher), 1 from the
primary class of Michelle Francom, and 1 from a girl that I met at BYU.
Thank you some much for all the letters! I am grateful that i received
them. they definitely made my day a lot better! I hope that my return
letters find you all soon!
2. Hno. Castillo was released. Our Ward mission
leader got released this last week.... and now he is the stake´s first
counselor for the young mens.... little disappointed becuase he was an
awesome ward mission leader! He would always go and visit all of the
investigators that we had and he would always be ready to help us in all
that we did. We had a lot more success because of him. But the stake
really does need a leader like that for the youth.
We also have to teach on Sundays now.... :P haha
3.
We put a fecha to bless a baby. We went and visited an inactive family
and they want to bless their baby! The husband (Claudio) is not a member
so hopefully this will help bring him to church and will bring the
whole family back to church as well! they family also started praying
together! :) its really cool to see them praying together because he is a
Catholic. but now he is really startiung to open up to the church! I
can´t wait to see how he progresses!
4. We made a homework thing. I dont remember if i
told you or not, but we made a cool little homework thing for all the
people that we find that cant meet with us often. We made it and its a
three week process of reading the scriptures to find out really if we
are the true church. So basically, when they do this, they can see their
progress for baptism, and when we pass by, nhothing will be new for
them. we will just go over all the questions that they have and such.
5. We played soccer on a really good nice field. We
rented out a nice field for p day and we played as a zone. it was really
fun. I played with an Elder named Carson Peyton. He played for timpview
and so we talked about the good ol high school days. His story is
awesome. Jason Kreis (coach for Real) said that he would be playing for
Real the next season..... HOW AWESOME IS THAT! but then he decided to
serve a mission. that is a huge sacrifice. definitely an inspiration for
me. He has played with Beckerman, Olave, WILLIAMS, Morales, and all of
my hero from RSL. Man i idol him. haha
6. We cleaned our pensión. Hna Salas called us and
dropped cain on us that our pension is dirty.... so we spent the WHOLE
DAY cleaning up the pension. it looks really good right now :) haha
7. Learned something cool. I was reading in Alma 11 the other
day and i learned something way cool. THis is when Amulek is talking to
Zeezrom. Zeezrom asks him a question is verse 34. " shall he save the
people in their sins? " and Amulek answers " No "
At first I was like.... WHAT!? Christ wont save us
from our sins? so i read it again.... Shall he save the people IN their
sins? No.....
So what is the difference of Christ saving us FROM our sins, and him saving us IN our sins?
I think the difference is that when he saves us FROM our sins is that we accept his Atonement and repent of our sins.
So yeah, i thought that was cool!
I hope you are all ok! And I can´t wait to SEE you all this week :)
With much love,
