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!
