Patience and Faith- November 3, 2014

Family and Friends!

Whoa this week passed super fast! But I am glad to always have this opportunity to reflect on my week and share what I have learned!

This week was a test of patience and faith. I was able to learn how closely patience and faith are related. Also that we need both patience and faith to face the difficulties in life. This week was a test of patience and faith in regards to the people that we are visiting and sharing the Restored  Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many people said that they were too busy to meet with us, others were impossible to contact, and others were super needy. But each one of these Children of God needed patience and faith. Patience in their needs and lives and not everything will go as planned. Faith that things would still turn out well in the end, that God would provide the way for these His children to come unto Him this week. 

I learned that only a small practice of patience and even the smallest portion of faith is sufficient for Heavenly Father to work His miracles. I was able to see the Restored Gospel enlighten the eyes and lives of many people this week. I saw Heavenly Father touch the hearts of countless people and help them develop faith and patience as well. 

I would like to invite all of you to remember to practice faith and patience as you go throughout your weeks! I know that as we apply these attributes of our Savior Jesus Christ in our lives many miracles will happen and Heavenly Father will bless all of your lives with countless blessings!

Remember the Lord loves you and the Church is True!

Enduring Hope- October 27, 2014

Family and Friends!

It is so good to back here again sharing our stories with eachother. First of all I want to thank each of you for all of the support and love that you all have so freely. Thank you for all of the prayers and emails each week! 

This week has a been a week full of hope. Hope that others can change, hope that miracles happen, even a theme of hope as I read the scriptures. Something that I have learned lately is that hope is essential in our lives. It comes through the Atonement and Grace of Jesus Christ. We have an enduring and powerful hope through the Savior. The addict, the wanderer, the depressed, the happy, the hopeless, the optomist, and the pessimist all have the assurance of eternal hope because of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We all have the hope to change our lives around. We all have the hope for a better tomorrow. 

I had the oppurtunity to finish the Book of Mormon once again. And once again the Spirit reafirmed to me that it is the word of God alongside the Bible. In the final pages of the Book of Mormon the prophet Moroni testifies about the neccessity of hope and that it all comes from the Savior Jesus Christ!

 40 And again, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto youconcerning hope. How is it that ye can attain unto faith, save yeshall have hope?

 41 And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this  because of your faith in him according to the promise.

 42 Wherefore, if a man have faith he must needs have hope; for  without faith there cannot be any hope.

 43 And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith andhope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart.

May we all remember to have hope in every moment. You and I can all pull through the roughest moments of life because we have a Savior that gives us enduring and eternal hope! Never loose hope!

Remember the Lord loves you and the Church is True!

Let Us Cheerfully Do All That Is In Our Power- October 20, 2014

Family and Friends!

It is so great to be here with you again this beautiful week!

Many times as a missionary it has been hard for me to see the blessings and miracles each day, especially when everything has gone oposite of my way. But this week I have learned to follow the counsel that we find in Doctrine and Covenants 123:17

Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our   power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the   salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.

Many times in our lives we will want to see immediate results. Even more often we want those results to be according to our like and taste. But when we choose to follow God and His commandments we in turn are choosing to cheerfully do all that is in our power to be still and wait upon the Lord to do His part. Often we work, we share, we study the scriptures, or we pray only to seemingly not recieve an answer. But really what is happening is we are doing everything in our power and waiting for the Lord to show His. 

This week Sister Silva and I worked really hard everyday. We shared our message and we testified of the truth of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, many times to see nothing happen. But at the end of the week we were able to look back and see that we cheerfully did all that was in our power and really did see the arm of God revealed. I am grateful for every miracle that happens in our lives and for the opportunity that I have to be a missionary and see the miracles of God unfold before my eyes. All we need is a little faith, trust, and prayer!

Remember the Lord loves you and The Church is TRUE!!

The Power of the Holy Ghost!- October 13, 2014

Family and Friends!

Another week has come and gone! Each is full of learning experiences and wonderful miracles!

This week I have had the oportunity to learn a little bit more about the power of the Holy Ghost and the influence that He has in our lives! It is the Holy Ghost that touches our hearts, inspires us to do good, and be happy. I have seen this past week that it is through the Holy Ghost that miracles are made. If we follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost miracles can happen through your influence. A hardened heart can be softened. A worried mother can feel comfort. A testimony can be gained. New friends can be made and lives can be changed all through following the promptings of the Holy Ghost. He speaks to us ever so queitly that it is often hard to tell if it is just a stray idea or the Holy Ghost inspiring us to do something, but if it entices to do good it is of God! This week I encourage you all to pay attention to the little thoughts and feeling and act upon them and miracles will happen!

Count the Miracles and Be Commited to the Truth- October 6, 2014

Family and Friends!

It has been some time since I wrote! Sorry it seems like life is getting busier and busier each day! But know that I love each one of you and think and pray for all of you often! 

This will be short and sweet but I want to share the importance of counting the miracles in every moment. When we have a attitude of counting miracles in our day we automatically change our attitude from ´glass half empty´ to ´glass half full´ and our day will be that much better. When we are looking for the good in each moment it is hard to see the negative. But like an old companion told me once `Life is like a camera. Just focus on what´s important and capture the good times. Develop from the negatives and if things don´t work out, just take another shot!´ So I encourage you all to take ahold of life´s camera and make it focus on the good and not the bad! 

Also I hope all of you weather you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or not had an opportunity to listen to the talks given by a prophet of God and Apostles of God. Weather or not you believe the same things as the `Mormons´ at the very least these men give inspiring talks. I know that they are men called of God to guide us through this world. They speak the truth and the will of God. I encouage all to choose at least one talk listed on this website and listen to it! It will change your week! You will feel the Spirit of God in your heart and a renewal to be a good person and a diciple of Jesus Christ!
