Hola Amigos!
How is everyone! Well, I know how the family has been for the
past 5 months because I got to Skype home yesterday! Happiest Mothers day of my
life!! Best day of my life! I loved seeing everyone's faces and throwin’ down a
bit of Spanglish for ya!
This week we've been running around like chickens with our heads
cut off trying to find busses and figuring out the numbers of streets! It's all
numbers and then they wanna throw us off by putting in some random diagonals...
It's pretty fun getting lost, but we're getting the hang of it! I try to make
sure to let my companion know that getting lost is how we learn sometimes! haha
I still don't know lots about the area and she's been here for a month and a
half now so.. we'll see how it all goes! The members are great here and I just
love the feeling of living in the middle of the city! It's a whole new feeling!
The other day we stumbled upon a house and decided to knock. She
answered and later on we find out that she’s a member that hasn’t been visited
in more than 7 years by the missionaries. She isn't on the records because she
used to live in another part of the Plata. Man, the Lord sure does lead us
to miracles!
I finished the Book of Mormon again yesterday and my testimony
of its truth has grown so, so strong. I know that it helps the lives of
everyone!
Then yesterday I was studying a bit in Joshua. A little bible
study for you all!
Joshua 1
"Be Strong and of a good courage"
In verse 6, 7, 9 and 18 that statement is repeated. Be
Strong! Have Courage!
In verse 15 it says that we should work until we receive our
rest… our eternal life!
In verse 16 the obedience of Joshua is so inspiring and I loved
comparing it this to 1 Nephi 3:7 in the Book of Mormon. Both great examples of
obedience!
18... Only be strong and of good courage no matter what
circumstances you're in!
Like Joshua we are commanded to meditate the scriptures, keep
the commandments and to be of good courage! Our Heavenly Father never commands
anything that cannot be accomplished!
Love you all with all of my heart and I am so happy to be living
life, and changing lives…Especially mine!...and
every person that I get to meet here in La Plata!!
Have a great week!!
Read this talk! Soo good!
