AN ANCHOR IN CHRIST

Hey everyone! Everything is going great! This week was a good week, and I continue to learn and grow. This change God has tought me so much about Humility, and  Patience, and I feel I need to develop more love and charity. God is always teaching me and shaping me and challenging me that I might grow. At times I ask why it´s so hard, but at the end I am so grateful that it is not easy. 

I love the mission and love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It´s so interesting to see how peoples lives could change, or change if they would only have faith, believe, and follow our savior Jesus Christ. Truly Faith is the first principle of the Gospel, and as we believe and trust in our Savior and redeemer everything else falls into place. The area I am in here in San Pedro Sula has been a little challenging, but I have learned a lot and have so much that I must improve. I must believe and trust and must do all that I can so God can make the miracles happen. As we center our faith in Jesus Christ and develop a sure Hope in his Atonement and resurrection we will then need to develop Charity. Becuase "he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity" (Moroni 7:44).

And what is Charity?

"Charity Suffereth long" (Charity is patience and long suffering)
Charity "is kind" (Compassionate, Gentle, loving, friendly)
Charity "envieth not" (Is not Jelous)
Charity "is not puffed up" (Not prideful, is humble)
Charity "seeketh not her own" (Is not selfish, serving)
Charity "is not easily provoked" (stirred to anger)
Charity "thinketh no evil"  (Virtue)
Charity "rejoiceth not in iniquity"  (Virtue)
Charity "rejoiceth in truth" (Virtue)
Charity "beareth all things" (Diligence)
Charity "believeth all things" (Faith)
Charity "hopeth all things" (Hope)
Charity "endureth all things" 
"CHARITY IS THE PURE LOVE OF CHRIST"

"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen" (Moroni 7:48)

I am looking forward to this weekend! We will have the time to celebrate Easter Weekend, the Resurection of Jesus Christ by listening to his words through his authorized servants here in the world. I am grateful for the teaching and guidance of Prophets, seer, and revelators! They are the ones whom Christ has called that we may gain this faith, and hope that we may, through the gospel of Jesus Christ become even as Christ is. That we may one day have Charity. That we may become sons of God. I invite each of you to join us this General Conference April 2018! This link contains all the informaltion of the Conference! 

I love you all!

Faith in Christ

Back at it! I love missionary work! This week has been a good one. I feel great and happy. I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I love Jesus Christ and know that he lives. I can´t believe how fast time is going, and feel like I have changed so much. 

Right now we are working a lot with a the Mercado Family, and this week we were able to find a lot of young adults who desired to learn more of the restored gospel. My companion and I get along well, and I am inspired by his coarage and testimony. He was a convert when he was 13, and baptized his mom just before coming to the mission. He has such a strong desire to help others and serve them. He is a great example to me. 

Through this week my testimony has been strengethen, and I have such a strong desire to strengthen my faith in Christ. God truly is so merciful. Despite my many weaknesses and my many sins through Christ and his Gospel I know I can be perfected! I am excited for General Conference! I can´t wait to recieve guidance and dirrection through the servant of the Lord here on earth.

I love you all! I am happy and miss you all! My prayers are with you, and I pray that we may all be faithful to our savior and redeemer Jesus Christ!

Good and Truth

This has been a great week! It has been good to work again! I love teaching the Gospel and inviting people to come unto Christ. The area is great. The members are good, and our Mission Leader is awesome! Although it is a trickey area compared to all the others I have had. It is a very large area. There is one part in the mountain where the poorer or more humble people live. Then right next to them is a part where rich people live. The houses are very large, and it is almost impossible to contact the houses. Then in the city it is tricky to find houses because there are lot´s of buisnesses. Yet we are working hard and seeking the Lord´s will through prayer. But none the less, this is God´s work and he is preparing great thing!

This week we had a baptism! Gladys Tablada was baptized! She is such a great lady, and she was so prepared! It was a great expreience because a member named Otoniel Manley had invited her to the church a long time ago, and he was able to baptize her! We are working with her so she can go to the temple at the end of this month!

Other then that the work is continuing! This week as I have been studying my mind has contempated upon many things, and I beleive the greatest lessons I have learned is the great need to have faith, and what faith truly is. I find it interesting to see that so often in our world so many people think truth is relative. Good and bad  is a matter of opinion. And that we should just do "What feels right" and "what makes us happy." But isn´t this completely contrary to the plan of God? The plan of happiness is about humility, trust, love, and obedience. It is about recongnizing that I don´t know all things but my Father in Heaven does. It is about humbling myself before  him, trusting in him, loving him, and fully, faithfully and completely obeying and following him. 

There is good and bad, truth and lies, only as we put our full trust in God will we be able to recongnize all good and all truth. And by heading his counsel and harkening unto his voice may we be filled with light and truth and become trully happy prefect holy saints. Only in this may we become like the Father and return to his presence in a state of never ending happiness. I leave my testimony that God loves us! That he sent his only beggotten son to offer us this happiness. It is up to us if we will come unto him harken unto his voice, by faith, repent of our sins and keep his commandments. 

I bear my testimony that The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ which has been given to the world so that all may repent and know that Jesus Christ is the messiah! I love you all! I love this Gospel! We all have great need to repent of our sins and follow our savior in obedience and humility!

Learning

Helo everyone! Life continues here in Honduras. This week I was once again stuck indoors. I spent a lot of time in the Family Histsory Library here in the church. It was an interesting week with lots of ups and downs, but the good news is that Tomorrow I can get back to work! I am so excited to get back to work. I love teaching and I love talking with people about the Gospel. I find such peace and joy in doing so. 

Although yesterday I was thinking about what God wanted me to learn from this expierence that I have had and I beleive he wanted me to learn to be selfless. This has been hard because I have thought a lot in myself. I beleive God wants us to turn outwards and serve and love others. I was inspired by Alma and the Sons of Mosiah in the Book of Mormon because once they are converted to Christ and repent of their sins all of their efforts were to help others and teach the Gospel, they no longer were worried about their own prideful desires. 

Yet during these 2 weeks I have thought a lot about "me." Why this was happening to me? What could I do to not be boared? What could I do to have fun? What could I do to be happy? When I beleive God wanted me to turn outward and help someone else. 

I am glad that tomorrow I can get back to work. I am glad that God is so merciful. I love this Gospel and love being a missionary!
