I love Honduras

Helo everyone! This week has been a great one! Elder Fragata and I are working hard, and the Lord is so merciful! This week Wilmer Arita was Baptized! He is super pilas and is so excited to be a part of the Church of Christ! He has so much energy and desire to serve! Yesterday we went to visit his family and they are also verry excited for him. We hope they will go to church as well! 

We are various families with whom we are working right now and we are really excited for them all. We are just having challenges getting them all to come to church. Yet I know that the Lord is guiding us and I know this is his work. 

I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ and feel so extremely grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. I know with all my heart that God has called a Prophet in these latter days to teach us the truths of his gospel and to lead and guide us and prepare us for his second coming! I know that the Book of Mormon is true and Love and learn so much from the prophets of old therin as well as the Bible! I love the Holy Scriptures! All is going verry well! Tambem eu estuo aprendendo portugese! 

I love you all!

"Pure Religion" - Ministering

Where can I even begin... Our God is so merciful and loving to us all! I feel so blessed and grateful! This week has been a great one! Elder Fragata and I have seen so many miracles and we are finding so many great people who are prepared to recieve the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The members are great here and support us so much and I can´t even begin to express the many blessings we have recieved! Truly the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the greatest blessing anyone can recieve. It changes lives and brings such great happiness and peace! If you don´t feel satisfied, live the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Live what James tought as "Pure Religion" - "visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world" (James 1:27). 

Elder W. Christopher Waddell tought, "Selfless service—forgetting ourselves, responding to the needs of others, and laying down our lives in their service—has always been a characteristic of disciples of Jesus Christ" (Pure Religion). This is exactly what God and Jesus Christ hope of us as we are instrements in thier hands and seek to "minister" as they have asked us to do. Jesus Christ gave us the perfect example of what it looks like to live "Pure Religion" and to minister. 

"The Savior showed by example what it means to minister as He served out of love for His Father and for each person (see John 15:9–10). He loved, taught, prayed for, comforted, and blessed those around Him, inviting all to follow Him (see Mark 8:34). As Church members minister, they prayerfully seek to serve as He would—to "comfort those that stand in need of comfort," "watch over the church always, and be with and strengthen them," "visit the house of each member," and help each become a true disciple of Jesus Christ (Mosiah 18:9; D&C 20:53, 51; see also John 13:35)" (What is "ministering").

I know that as we make a greater effort to minister and fallow the example of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ our lifes will be filled with Joy and Peace! It is my hope and prayer that we can all become true desciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that one day we might return to his precense perfected and sanctified through his great sacrifice and saving grace!

I love you all! I know God lives and loves us! I know Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. I know that Christ leads and guides his kingdom that we might all prepare for his second coming! I love you all!

Minister: See the potential

This week has been a great one! It turns out I had changes again. I am know in Cofradía which is like a pueblito. My companion is Elder Fragata from Xanxere Brazil. He is from southern Brazil, and has 3 months in the mission. Ajora eu esto aprendedo portugués! My companion is super cool, and has a lot of desire to work. I am excited to work with him, and the ward here is really great as well! There is a lot of work to do! The week has been good, mostly just getting to know my new area, my new companions, the members and investigadors and doing a lot of contacting. But, I am super excited!

This week I have really been pondering on the words of the servants of the Lord, and have been thinking about how I can apply it into my missionary life. I was especially thinking of the talks and invitations we recieved to fulfill the two great commandments of our Lord "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart might mind and strength and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." I was thinking about how we can more fully "minister" to our brothers and sisters and show them the christ like love we all need. I was amazed as I studied more about what the word "Minister actually means. I found out that the word Minister is  "to fulfill the work of the Lord. Or to literally represent the Lord." I began to reflect on how well I represent the Lord. I wonder what Christ would really do if he were where we are?

I loved a comment I heard in the Priesthood Meating yesterday as we discussed repentance. One of the brothers here said that Repentance is like a little kid who is learning to walk, it takes time and practice. We won´t be perfect the first try. But he said that the parents are always there lifting the kid up and incouraging him to keep trying. 

I know that we are all from from perfect, and I also know that it is only through the grace and atonement of Christ that we can be perfected and this requires Repentance. When a child falls on his face its pretty hard to get back up and try again if the parents weren´t there to support him and give him hope. As representatives of Jesus Christ we must be those who lift our fallen brothers and give them hope. There are so many great people who are ashamed, embaraced and afraid, but that is why we must minister. Repentance is a blessing! And we must help our brothers and sisters recongnize that too! We must give them a reason to hope and try again! This is the Doctrine of Christ! This is the purpose he came to this world! 

I know that Jesus Christ lives! I know that he is our light, our life, and our hope for a brighter future! I know that repentance is positive, and we must love our borthers and sisters, we must minister to them and give them a reason to hope. We must see them with thier devine potential which we all have as children of God!

I love you all!

A Prophet´s voice!

This week has been great! I was inspired by the words of our dear Prophets and Apostles. I know and solemnly testify that President Russell M. Nelson is a prophet of God. I felt the spirit so strongly this weekend, and know that he was called from the foundation of this world to hasten the work of the Lord and prepare the world for the Second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Chrsit! I also felt so grateful to pass easter weekend listening to the words of the Lord through his authorized servants. What a great blessing! 

Yesterday as I was laying on my bend trying to sleep I couldn´t help but think of Jesus Christ and all he has offered us and given us. I felt such great gratitud and Joy. I though of the words of Dieter F. Uchtorf who said that thanks to the resurrection of Jesus Christ their is LIFE. I feel such Joy and Peace to know that death is not the end. That all of us who die will rise again. I also feel such Joy to know that through Christ we can Repent. That we can start a developmental process of perfection throught the Atonement and Grace of the great sacrifice of our Lord and Savior. 

I testify with all my heart the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is ture. It is the Kingdom of the Lord here on Earth and it is directed directly by him, the corner stone, through his Prophets and Apostles the foundation. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, and that Joseph Smith was called of God to restore the truth of the Gospel to the earth. I also know that we must more fully seek our personal witness through the Holy Ghost as President Russell M. Nelson, and his counselors so prophetically invited, and we must Minister with Love as God commands to all our dear brothers and Sisters!

I love you all!
