A Perfect Plan!

Hola! Hey everyone! I hope all is going well! Life in Honduras is great! Everyday I continue to learn, and I continue to grow! God has a plan for each and every one of us! 

This week was a really great week! Elder Hurtado and I have been working extremely hard! He is awesome! I am so blessed and grateful for great companions! We haved decided to start working more with the members again. This week we have been trying to help them make the goal to prepare to go to the temple in september, as well as work and help us in the missionary work. We also have been making an effort to find old investigadors, and start teaching them again. 

We were verry blessed to find some of the old investigadors, and we are actually really excited of the potencial they have. One family is Family Paz. The Mom is Ondina, and we have been talking with her, her doughter´s Eslí, Nichole, and Vivian. They are a great family, and have enjoyed learning again, and show a lot of interes. Especialy the Doughters of 9 and 8. We also found another family. Rene and Maria Lopez. They have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. We are also coninuing to work with Rosa Lopez, and her sister Suseli! There is a lot of potencial here, and we are super excited! I know that if we continue with Faith the Miracles will come we just have to trust in God.

The members are all doing well. It has been a hard week for many of them. They have had health problems, work problems, family problems, and all sorts of distracions. It is verry interesting how satan works so hard to destroy us, but thankfully, through our trials, we can learn. 

Today I wanted to talk a little about just that. Why do we have to pass through problems? Why can´t life be easier? Well it´s a great question, and if you or I say we have never asked ourselves this question, I´m pretty sure we would be lying. Now, let me do my best to explain what I have learned.

We are here in this life, becuase it is part of the Plan of Salvacion, the Plan that God gave us so we can "Recieve inmortality and eternal Life." This plan consist´s of the creation, the fall, this life, the spirit world, resurecion, judgment, and our ending glory based on our accions and desire of our hearts here in this life. We are here in a fallen world, because of the transgression of Adam and Eve, we are in a world of difficulties, pain, sorrow, and temptaions from Satan and his angels. It is difficult. And if it weren´t for Christ, it would be miserable forever. BUT! And this is a big but, God sent his son Jesus Christ, who has suffered each and every one of these pains so that if would would repent and follow him through 

1: Faith
2: Repentance
3: Baptims by his Authority
4: Recieve the Holy Ghost
5: Endure to the End by keeping his commandments and his Covanents

We would be forgiven. We would find Joy and happiness in a fallen world, and hope in a Celestial Kingdom, the Kingdom of God to be exact (Inmortality and Eternal Life) when we die and are resurected. 

I would like to thank God and join Jacob in saying, "Oh the wisdom in God, his mercy and grace!" Thanks to Adam and Eve, and the fall of man we can pass through these difficulties and know sorrow, so, through christ and his atonement and our repentance, we can feel and know Joy! This is all part of God´s plan! When we have trials we should be grateful, and we should learn and grow and thank God for his son, Jesus Christ, our brother, our savior, our redeemer! 

I am so thankful for Christ! I am so thankful for the great Plan of God! Let us put our trust in him! Let us live every day, every trial, every sad moment, thanking God, that with our Faith and Hope through Jesus Christ, one day we will rest from our tribulacions, and we will live in peace and Joy!

I love you all! It is my hope and prayer that we will all put our trust in our God! That we will have faith, repent, be babtized, recieve the great blessing and gift of the Holy Ghost, and endure to the End! I know and Testify that the Chrurch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint is the Church of God! I know that Through Jospeph Smith Christ restored his Church, and his Power (Priesthood). If you aren´t sure, take a look at the fruits (Matthew 7:20). The fruits include, The Book of Mormon, the Church and Orginization, and most importantly, the members (1 John 3:10,1 John 4:7 Matthew 5:48). Please please please, ask of God! Look at the fruits, and ask of God! And then follow him!

I love you all so much!

We love to be served, but do we love to serve?

Hey everyone! I am sorry I am wrighting so late, today we havn´t had light, so I was unable to wright earlier. But this week was a great one, and verry different! 

This week we didn´t work verry much here in Copan Ruinas. Thursday we left to do divisions with the ZL´s, and Friday we had a zone conference, then Saturday and Sunday we had District Conference. It was a week full of learning! I enjoyed it verry much, and was able to learn so much, and am excited to work and apply it. 

The greatest thing I learned, out of all the wonderful things I learned was the importance of Serving and Loving. We were extremely blessed here in the district Copan with a visit from one of the seventy, Elder Duarte, and he talked about a lot of verry important things, yet, out of all he said, and each of the others who spoke, The spirit spoke to me about the importance to serve and Love. 

As I listened to the talks, the movie, Joseph Smith the prophet of the restoration came to my mind, when the members are helping a lady, and the lady says that she doesn´t agree with there religion, but she appreciates there service. Joseph Smith goes on to say that that is our religion. I would like to testify of the words of the Prophet Joseph Smith. That Service is the religion of Christ. It is the purpose of Christ. He came to serve, and he invites, and pleeds that we do the same. We have been commanded to love God with all our heart might mind and strength, and our neighbor like ourselves. As we truly love people, we are willing to serve them. And as it tells us in Mosiah 2:17, When we are in the service of our fellow beings, we are only in the service of our God!

I know that if we truly love God, we will serve him, and if we really love him, we will love our brothers, and if we love them, we will serve them as well. Let us Serve, let us love. I love the way the Guide to the scriptures explains the word service. It says that service is works that we effect, and atencions we bring in favor of God and our fellow men. In other words, every good thing we do to uplift, and help others is service. When we think about it, it´s really not that hard. We just have to think outside ourselves, have ears to hear, eyes to see, and a heart to feel, so we can know and act, when others are in need. Whether it be something big, as helping someone move, or as smile as saying hi, and giving someone a smile, as we serve and love God, as well as our fellow men, I know we will feel Joy, and will feel Christ´s love in our loves!

This is the Church of Christ! He wants us to serve and love his children. He loves us, he loves us all! Let us show them he cares through christlike service! Let us be intruments in his hands! 

I love you all so much! I thank each and everyone of you for your service and love in my life! Have a great week! Never forget, God loves you! And never forget to share that love with others through service!

What´s our Goal?

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! Hey everybodoy! I hope everyone had a great mother´s day! I know I did! I was so blessed to be able to speak with my mother and some of my family! I love my family so much, and am so grateful for them in my life! 

This week has been a really good! Full of growth, and continued learing! I just wanted to share a quick story about the importance of following the spirit always. I have been trying to improve and listen and following the spirits promptings, and need to continue to do so, but this week, as my companion and I were walking to an appointment there was a man sitting down by the side of the road (This is not rare) and we said hey and continued walking, as we walked by the thought came to my mind, "Go back," Immediatly I said to my companion, lets go talk to this guy, as we returned we sat by him and begain to talk. He expressed some difficulties that he had had, and we ended up talking to him for a while. To finish he told us how as we passed and prayed to God that we would return so he could talk to someone! 

I know that God answeres prayers! I know that God loves his children! The Holy Ghost is real, and will speak to us and guide us if we are willing to listen.

The next big thing of this week was speaking with my family! What a blessing we are given with loving parents and family and friends! As I was speaking with my family I was overcome by the great I love I have for each of them! As I was reading the scriptures this morning in 2 Nephi 9 (I would deffinantly reccomend it) I was overcome by the joy of the Atonement of Christ as well as the great desire and excitement to return with him! 

But, behold, the righteousthe saints of the Holy One of Israel, they who have believed in the Holy One of Israel, they who have endured the crosses of the world, and despised the shame of it, they shall inherit the kingdom of God, which was prepared for them from the foundation of the world, and their joy shall be full forever.

I feel that this scripture has great significance for each and everyone of us! I love the part that says "That which was prepared for them from the foundation of the world, and their joy shall be full forever!" The kingdow of God is prepared for us! It is our choice if we want to be saints, if we want to work and be faithful, and ultimatley, if we want our joy to be full forever. 

I love each and every one of you! I can´t wait to be in the kingdom of God, to be able to give my Father in Heavan a great big hug, as well as our older brother Jesus Christ! I also can´t wait to see my family, to tell them we made it, and to be reunited with each and everyone of them including Jason! I also can´t wait to see each and every one of you! 

I love you all! This is my hope! This is my greatest desire! To be reunited in the Kingdom of God (Celestial Kingdom) with my family and friends, and all those who I have looked to as examples! I invite us all to keep going! To keep working, and to let this be our goal! After all, it is the goal of our Father, "To bring to pass the imortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39

I know that God has restoured his gospel as well as his authority so that this work can continue! So that we can achieve and make this goal! I know God loves us! I know Christ lives! And because he lives, we all will live again! This is the work of God! Of this I testify!

I love you all! I wish all you mothers a very happy Mother´s Day yesterday!

The Truth

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing great! I am doing wonderful! This has been a great week full of crazy events!

Well, last monday we got a call from president Bush about changes, so Tuesday morning we had to leave for San Pedro Sula. We arrived there in San Pedro about 2 in the afternoon, then we went to eat something for lunch. Then we went to the reunion for the trainers. After the reunion ended at about 6, and I asked President Bush for permision to return to La Smith to visit some people from my last area! I wasn`t able to visit everyone I would have liked to, but I was able to visit Famila Caballero and las Hermanitas! Hermanita Ana y Hermanita Chepita. I was so happy to see them all again! I was also able to see and spend a little bit of time with Elder Barrientos! In the night we stayed with the secretaries, and I was able to see and spend some time with Elder Lowder, my trainer, as well as Elder Chavarria! I love them all so much! It was a great blessing and great time!

Then Wednessday we had the changes, and I recieved my new companion! His name is Elder Hurtado from Nicaragua Leon! He is really great! He has a great desire to serve the lord and be obedient! This is the most important! It definantly is an adjustmant for me, because I have to know what I`m doing, and sometimes I dont haha. But hes great, and we have worked really hard, and have had a lot of success this week! We found some more investigadors, and are hoping that people will recongnize the truth of our message! 

I really am starting to love the people here in Copan! Especially the members! I love the mission! I am so happy, and know that God is in Charge! I am begginning to recongnize that there is really no need ever to be disanimated, although it at times happens. Because God is in Charge, we are only instruments in his hands.

More then anything I want these people to know the truth! To Understand that God loves us so much that he has called a prohpet in these latter days! I do know that this is true! And I know that every good person, who really seeks to do as God wants, and who truly desires to follow him with a humble heart will one day understand and arrive to the truth! It is our Job to testify, love, teach, guide, and be. And then we leave the rest to God, and the agency of the individual! 

I love God! I love his son Jesus Christ! I know they are real! They love us! We just have to trust them! We just have to follow them! 

I love you all!

Choose to read!

Hey everyone! I don`t even know where to start! This week has been a really good one! Learning everyday! I can`t believe how fast time is flying by! Changes are this wednessday, and Elder Lozano and I really thought we were going to stay together, but the lord has different plans! President Bush called us this morning, and Elder Lozano is leaving, as well as Hermana Lund, but Hermana Ortiz and I are both going to train! So I will stay here in Copan Ruinas for another 3 months fijo! 

I am super excited for the opurtunity, but will miss Elder Lozano a lot! He was great, and I learned so much from him! 

But here in Copan everything is great! This week we had a low asistencia again, only 29 at church. It is a little sad, but we must keep working and keep trusting! Yesterday we visited Familia Hernandez, and we talked about the importance of reading the scriptures, specifically the Book of Mormon everyday! I would like to leave the same invitation once again with each of you as well. 

First of all, this is not an invitation from Elder Harmon, or from a missionary, this is an invitation direclty from and lord and savior Jesus Christ through his prophet on the earth, Thomas S. Monson. And if you are curious if there really is a prohpet, why don`t you do as he says and se what happens, or, ovisouly we can be like the isrealites when Moses said to look and they would be healed and refused to do such a small thing. But I hope that we wont make the same mistake, I hope we will look to the Book of Mormon as the prohpet has counseled and be saved. I know and testify that the Book of Mormon is true! That the Book of Mormon supports the Bible, as well as the Bible supports the Book of Mormon. Christ has called a prohpet in these latter days to lead and guide us here on the earth. It is up to us to look!

We have the agency! Let us follow the counsel of 2 Nephi 2:27

"Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself."

Let us choose eternal life and follow the prohpet! Let us choose eternal life and read the Book of Mormon every day! Let us not give place to the devil. It is our choose. As Yoda and my father would say, "Do or do not, there is no try."

I love you all! I know that God lives! That he sent his Son Jesus Christ, and through him, only through him may we recieve eternal life! Let us keep the commandments, let us be faithful! 

I love you all!
