2n1.... otra vez... sowry
Well ha. Sorry again for not sending an email last week. But now y'all get a 2 in one. I'll try to make it short.
First I'll name the random fun stuff from the last two weeks.
>We found a full sized backhoe playing around in the middle of the river.
>DL and his comp got parasites so we got to go out to their area for a night to help them out in preparing one of their friends for baptism
>I got to go on a 10 hour bus ride to Guatemala city to do some immigration paperwork to get my Guatemalan ID card.
>Got to stay in the Barcelo, which is probably the best hotel I have ever stayed in.
>Missed my Zone conference due to the trip so I got to go to the zone conference of my old zone and listen to Elder Olsen of the 70 and his wife and it was awesome!!
Ok now for the awesome stuff!
SERGIO AND MARIA WERE BAPTIZED!! Oh my gosh, they are sooo pilas and amazing. We would literally teach them something like the Word of Wisdom and drop something in an instant because in their own words "If the lord commanded, I'd do anything." They are so amazing and can't wait until the end of this month when Sergio will be able to baptize his daughter Kati.
Multi-Zone Conference was amazing. Something that really stuck out to me this conference is obedience. Obedience is probably one of the hardest things as a missionary. To be able to follow all of the missionary standards perfectly and then also all of the mission set standards ... it's difficult, it really is. But what I took from the Conference is this (and this can apply to anyone, missionary or non-missionary): The more obedient we are to keep the standards of the mission and/or the commandments of God, the more blessings we will see in our service and life. But the thing is perfect obedience is what brings the miracles that we have all heard from return missionaries. Perfect obedience furthers the work way better than we can by ourselves. And that's it. It's as simple as that. Obedience brings blessings and perfect obedience brings miracles. So if this is something you struggle with ... probably everyone, I struggle with it too, pray, and I promise God will help you. I know God hears our prayers,
"y cualquier cosa que [pedimos] al Padre en [el nombre de Jesucristo], si es justa, creyendo que recibir[emos], he aquí [nos] será concedida" (3 Nefi 18:20).
Sé que esto es cierto, y testifico de ssu veracidad en el Nombre de Jesucristo Amen.
Sorry I only have Spanish scriptures on hand so y'all just have to look up the scripture in English. But anywho. That's just about it for these past two weeks. Hope y'all have a great two weeks!
Feel free to reach out!!
Love y'all
Bug ya later!!
