La Expiacion

HOLA!!!!! Well this week has been amazing!!!!  First off we had a Missionary Activity where we had a bunch of members go tracting in our streets and contact people in the street to give them a little taste of the missionary life. They came back to us with 35 appointments for next week! Whoow! This week is going to be fun! =D I love the members here!  I found an Investigator that sounds Like Yoda!!!! =D I found out that Avengers 2 came out!!! Family and friends, I trusted you!! Why did no one tell me about an Avengers 2? I had to find out by reading about it on a bag of Doritos in Spanish!! Que Passo!!! We also had a seventy come visit us this week! Before we listened to him I prayed to God to help me receive revelation for what I can improve in our area. He definitely gave it to me! Listening to Elder VillaLobos, I felt like the spirit was slapping me in the face with awesome ideas! Haha it was amazing, just listening to him you knew he was called from God through our Prophet.  During his Presentation, Elder VillaLobos pulled out his IPhone and pulled up Siri (haha you have no idea how weird it was to see him do that =P) and told her to search "La expiacion" (The atonement) and a bunch of searches came up and he read them off to us, then asked "with this information on the internet can we know what the atonement really is and how to apply it to our lives?" the answer was No. Unless it was an LDS site, there is no way people could know what the atonement is. This is why our message is so important, we bring a message of the atonement and how to apply it to our lives. With the atonement we become stronger, we can become clean of sin, and we are changed for the better. I know that when we apply the atonement everyday to our lives, we will feel more peace and our relationship with God with be strengthened. I cannot quite comprehend how amazing this Atonement is, and how lucky we are to have it in our lives!  I love this message we have, so share it with the world people!!! =D I went to a park!  The mission made me a little stronger.

Grave Yard Shift (Litterally)

Hola mi amigos!!

 Wow, this week went by realllllllllllly fast, I cant believe it! I now have seven months in the mission, its so crazy!! I feel like I still only have 3 here =P So what is new this week?

For one, we had a service project this week with our Stake. And we got to clean a Graveyard!! Whoow!!! Actually kind of exciting, you definitely find and see some weird stuff in Mexico grave yards. Lots of pictures of The virgin Mary and Guadalupe =P Oh speaking of which, I finally bought some new Tennis Shoes because my other ones got "lost" ;( . And I have started running again in a park...around a Catholic Church. At times its a little awkward when you have Guadalupe or the Virgin Mary staring down at you haha and its always fun when they ring their huge bell right as you run by (ouch!). definitely still enjoy running =)
 

     Loving Mexico! Our area is getting a lot better, we are finding a lot more people to teach =) And we had four investigators come to church this past Sunday (whoow!!!) and you will never guess who came to church! The bread man!! haha! I talked with him in the street one day and invited him to church and he came!! haha it was awesome! =)

Hope you are all having a great time! I love you! Take care!! =D

Happy Easter :)

     HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!!!

     Conference was amazing!!! Ill admit, I tried to watch the first talk in Spanish in the stake Center, but I have a short attention span (especially with Spanish haha) and it was really hard for me to concentrate. So I went and watched it in English with all the other white missionaries in a small room. haha it was great! It was like the super bowl for Mormons! =D

     I admit this transfer has been a little hard, it is always hard getting used to another companion because they all teach differently. Haha, I am proud to say that the hard part right now is that I talk to much in the lessons! YES! My Spanish is finally progressing again its great! =D 

     I hope you are all doing well, and had the opportunity to watch conference. I know when we listen to the Prophets and apostles and apply their teaching in our lives we will receive many blessings in this life and for eternity, ah I love this Gospel =) Have a good one everyone!! =D

 

 

Crazy RM!

     Ah don't have too much time! but my companion was a little sick this week. And our sister training leaders ordered her to stay home and rest for two days, meaning as her companion I had to stay home too.

     Let me tell you, I almost went crazy that first day staying in our house! It was the first time in five months that I had spare time. Time with no plans or scheduled things. I was freaking out because I didn't know what to do, so while my companion was sleeping, I cleaned the whole house, translated two chapters of the Book of Mormon from Spanish to English, read a bunch of conference talks that could help our investigators, studied Spanish, cooked dinner and on and on. 

Yeah, lets just say the second day I called our sister training leaders and asked them to do exchanges with me because I couldn't handle staying in the house "relaxing" for another day. There are souls that need saving dang it! haha

     Just warning all of you, I am probably going to be a really crazy RM. to my family, Please plan out a lot of things out for me to keep me busy when I get back or I might go insane lol =) Besides that I am loving my mission!! And we are getting a lot of work done here =) I love you all! Have a fantabulous week!!

Love
