Easter in Nicaragua

This week we know is the week when we celebrate the Sacrifice and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I sacrifice a part of your life, dont let it go in vain. Seek repentence and if you are not baptized, Baptism. I am so grateful for the opportunity i have to share this message with everyone here in nicaragua, this message of hope and happiness. Remember to remind everyone of this great opportunity because that is what Christ wants us to do. Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God. so share this message and challenge everyone to come unto Him. And make those changes in your life that you need to in order to be raised up to life eternal. 
would like to add my testimony to the divinity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That His Atonement was real. That because of Him we can not only be cleansed of all our guilt, pain, and sorrows, but because He lives we can live again also. That we have the opportunity of returning to the presence of our Heavenly Father. Make this

Have a great week! I love you all!

Be Valiant in Your Love For Others

Be Valiant in your love for others

Queridos Amigos Míos!

Como están? This week was an interestin week but i want to talk about something of great importance in this life. Loving others.

I know there are lots of reasons for you not love others and not to perform service. i know before my mission i didnt do anything for anyone, in reality, i was not happy. In serving this mission i have had to leave my family and my country for the sole purpose of learning to love others. I have found true joy in this work. it has been such a pleasure to watch these people come closer to Christ and find truth in their lives. I know in our busy lives it is HARD to find the time to think about anyone other than ourselves. But i promise you there is time. There are ways that you can give yourselves to others. i know that when we learn to think about others we will find the true Joy and Happiness that Christ speaks of. Be valiant in loving others. becuase really there is nothing material after this life. We will be judged on how we treated others, for every soul is great in the eyes of God, and everyone is children of God. 

I love the message of this gospel and the invitations that we receive to repent. Repentance can be a process of Joy and Happiness if we make it an active part of our lives. I have a testimony of this principle and i inite you to gain a testimony of it yourselves.

Have a great week everyone! I love you all and miss you! Stay true to the faith always and may the Lord guide and bless your lives.

Overcoming Adversity

Mis Queridos Amigos!

This week has been a much less crazy week than last week. But this week i want to talk more about obedience in adversity. 

A lot of times you hear about people who lose faith whenever something bad happens or they go through a hard time. This is not the purpose of trial. The purpose of trial is to become and overcome. Here in the mission, i have a really hard time being bold and talking to everyone. its so easy for me to just not talk and drift through the mission. but this is not why i am here. I am here to overcome and become the person that Heavenly Father knows i can be. Remember that this life is but a small moment compared to the eternity of life that we inevitably face. We either learn now and live, or we remain and perish. 

No matter how hard it is. remember that these trials are but a small moment and that if you suffer them in righteousness you shall be saved in the Kingdom of Heaven. 

I testify of these things and bear my witness of these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Miracles Never Cease

Mis Queridos Amigos,

I feel like i write too much about the many miracles and mercy that i receive here in the mission but honestly i could not have any success without Heavenly Fathers help. This week was a rollercoaster of emotions but through the Mercy of God we had 2 baptisms! I am so grateful that despite our weaknesses and infirmities, if we put in the work Heavenly Father always makes up for the rest. I had to have so much faith this week that Heavenly Father would bless us with these baptisms.

This is Gladys and Lester Ortiz. We first contacted them my second day in the mission and have been teaching them ever since. I wrote about them last week i think and through much hardship and trial and prayer they finally entered the waters of baptism on February 28. What a miracle this is! This is proof that there is a God and that He really does care about every single one of His children.
