Go on a Mission

I hope everyone is doing great. I have been having a fantastic time in Nealtican because I am learning a lot about who I am. I have been learning a lot about humility and caring for others. The only things that we need to focus on in this life is our personal relationship with God and how we can bless other people. I just wanted to tell you all that I believe that my mission is the best decision I have every made in my life. I have learned so much about how to work in the church, how to study, how to be obedient, and who I really am and where I am going. It is very hard for me to see blessings in the moment but always looking back in the past I can see the hand of God shaping me (sometimes pounding, rolling, squishing me like kindergartners with Playdoo) All that I can say is that I know that God exists for what has happened and I have felt. I can honestly say that this Church was organized by God and he directs it, the only trick now is to see if I can be directed by him.

Hey Young Men that are waiting for an answer if they need to go on a mission here it is: GO ON A MISSION and your mind is going to be blown.

Few quick miracles of the week:

We were looking for some old investigators and were not having to much success. When out of the blue a Hermana of our ward walked up to us and told us to go contact one of her friends named Beatrice. We were able to teach Beatrice for 5 min before she went to pick up her kid, but it was such a blessing to have a new investigator

We had ward activity of ELOTES como Nacho Libre they were super good and We were also able to find other new people

I went in intercambios with Elder Torres and we had the opportunity to teach algunos Menos Activos and at the end of the day we had the opportunity to knock on one last door. The member menos activo opened the door and started talking with us with her television blaring in the background. My attention shifted from listening to the hermana and the TV to her 5 year old son. For some reason he was smiling and super joyful and I felt the Love of God super strongly for this young family. I also learned something really powerful that Satan distracts us with things like TV and other good technology so that we sometimes lose moments super precious with our family

I also had the opportunity to participate in a Council of the Mission were we discussed what needs to be happening in the mission. It was a super powerful experience to be in the same room with super powerful missionaries and Presidente Stellmon in la Casa de la Mision. Oh and after we were lugging all of the materials of the zona in my suitcase when it started pouring. All the calles de Puebla turned into rivers. We got soaked and the Materials got a little bit wet but all is well. I felt like we were on the disney african safari in the buses because all of the calles were rivers.

Anyways love you all keep being awesome!!
